Upshall at Forum Understaiidirig of Dewey's Theories on Knowledge MA Values, Essential for Appreciation (By VIRGINIA GEORGE) ,**Johh Dewey'*, one of America's foremost educators, was the subject of a paper given by Dr. C. C. tip-shall at a recent faculty forum. Dewey's philosophy and criticisms of education formed the topic which Dr. Upshall.interpreted by quoting exerpts from the educator's books. In introducing his subject he said, "It will be necessary to discuss Dewey's theories of knowledge and of values. Ah understanding of these theories will permit a deeper appreciation of his criticisms of education. This understanding will also make possible a more adequate comprehension of' his statements of the fundamental aspects of a new education which should replace our present one." No Filed Truth 'Dewey's theory' of knowledge is radically different from that of any philosophy which presupposes an absolute or fixed 'truth* towards which education is directed. Dewey believes that knowledge is only "possible when meditation or reflection results to action, the results of which solve a situation which before was problematic. He expresses over and over again his conviction that there is no absolute or fixed truth. We can never have absolute certainty about anything to life/' Dr. Upshall continued. Formula Tested How we are to proceed to Our education if we have no "traditionally prized values as our directive standards'* is answered by Dewey's proposal,—'«from the findings of natural science" and his subsequent example: "A—change that would issue from carrying over experimental method from physics to man concerns the import of standards; principles, rules. With the transfer, these, and all tenets and creeds about.good and goods, would be recognized to be hypotheses. Instead of being rigidly fixed, they would be treated as intellectual instruments to be tested and confirmed—and altered— through consequences effected by acting upon them. They would lose ail pretense of finality—the ulterior source of dogmatism. A moral law, like a law to physics, is not something to swear by and stick to at ail hazards; it is a formula of the way to respond when specified conditions present themselves. Its soundness and pertinence are tested by what happens when it is acted upon." Two Realms Found After a survey of religion and philosophy, Dewey divides thought into two realms "the one higher, consisting of the powers which determine human destiny to all important affairs. With this religion is concerned. The other consists of the prdsaic matters to which man relies upon his own skill and his matter-of-fact insight." Man has made obvious progress in the latter realm but has done little to finding 'arts or regulation' for the former. Dr. Upshall sums up the educator's philosophy to this connection (Continued on Page Four) TENNIS TEAM SHOWS FINE FORM AT C, P. S. Racket Men Take Five Matches to Two from C. P. S. Exhibiting a brand of tennis worthy of the fine showing made by the baseball team the previous week, the tennis squad from the Belltog-ham Normal school today met and defeated the College of Puget Sound racket wielders in a decisive score of five matches to two. Although the weather conditions were not ideal, the matches got under way at the scheduled time of two o'clock and when the meet had ended at six, the fans realized that they had witnessed an exhibition of rather decent tennis. \ In the most spectacular match of the afternoon, Belltogham's number 1 man, Willy Houghton, rose to the heights to downing a lanky lad by the name of Piety. Houghton put oh the most superb tennis of the meet, to downing this six-foot specimen of bang-up tennis ability. The other stogie matches were won by Lahtonen and Carr. In the doubles Houghton and Wahl defeated Piety and Teats, and Fisher and Lahtonen defeated minis and Norman. The team went down to Sam Carver's car Tuesday at 3 p. m., and returned late Wednesday night. Singles The scores: Houghton, N, defeated Piety, 0. P. S., 8-6, 4-6 and 6-4.

DATE CHOSEN FOR ALL SCHOOL HIKE Marydel Conrad, Hike Chairman, Completes Arrangements May 7 has been selected as the date for the annual all-school hike to Skyline ridge, a spur of Mount Baker. The hike was to have been held last quarter but was postponed because of the weather. Marydel Conrad, who is to charge of the affair, says '*It will be filled with the breath of spring and really ought to prove an inspiration. Mountain climbing, snow-sliding and all the sports that 'old man winter' can give are there waiting for you." Cars Leave at 6 Cars will leave the school at 6 o'clock and will return at about 8 in the evening. Russell Nyberg will take his bus and anyone else that is able to take a car is asked to sign on the bulletin board next week. The charge is $1. Coffee will be furnished by the Normal but the hikers are asked to furnish then-own lunch. Lunches can be purchased at Edens Hail. Tests Are Scheduled for Advanced Students Tuesday, Wednesday Tests are to be given to all sixth and seventh quarter and graduating students next week in the Auditorium. Two half-days will be devoted to these tests, beginning on Tuesday, May 3, at one o'clock and Wednesday, May 4, at eight-thirty. These examinations are being given in many Normal schools and Teachers' colleges throughout the United States on the same date. Scores made by Normal school students at Bellingham will be compared with those made by students of other schools to the country. A report will be made when the survey is completed. A list has been posted of those students who are to take the tests. This list may not be complete and any persons whose names are not included but are to their sixth or seventh quarter or are graduating this June should report for these tests. o Clubs Will Hold Election May 6 Election of officers will occupy the attention of both the Women's League and Men's Club meetings, which will be the program of Friday's assembly, May 6. Petitions will be posted on the bulletin board Friday, April 29, for names of candidates to be nominated for Women's League officers arid advisor. Mimeographed copies will be given out containing the proposed changes to the constitution to be Voted ^oh during the meeting. Kathryn Frost is the retiring president of the Women's League, with Miss Ruth E. Piatt as advisor, Kathleen Hill, vice president; Edith Jenkins, secretary, and Elizabeth Squire, treasurer. The main item of business of the Men's'Club metetog will be the election of officers, together with a short program. The present officers of the club are: Roy Abbott, president; Sid Comfort, vice president; Roland Gissberg, secretary-treasurer, and Jimmie Stoddard, Inter-club council representative. ,—o Official Schedule is Drawn for Exams In order that faculty adjustments may be made in the proposed assignments for spring quarter examinations, the official schedule for examinations will not be posted until next week. Devoting the first three days of the last week of the quarter entirely to examinations is a decided change from the way to which examinations have formerly been given. School authorities are expecting this plan to work out successfully, and it will? probably be adopted as a permanent change. Bulletins for summer quarter have not yet arrived. Dean Bever ex pects to receive them next week. Tony Flick Hates Dill Pickles And All of the Opposite Sex (By NAOMI WATSON) Oh, is she prepared? Normal's brand new vice president is certainly publicity shy.

COLUMN BY DICTATE OF CONTROL BOARD President Fisher Convenes With Body in DiscusSion of Viking Busiiiess ACCEPTS THE BUDGET That the Northwest Viking shai be reduced to a six-column paper, was the verdict of the Board of Control at their regular meeting last Tuesday, April 28, with President James Butler presiding. A large outstanding debt combined With the inability to past quarters to obtain sufficient advertisements; made it impossible to carry on with the former seven-column sheet President Fisher, who was present at the conclave, was strongly to favor of reducing the paper to order that the financial status of the Viking might be bettered. Quarter Budget Presented Distribution of student activities fees for the spring quarter niade up a good deal of the meeting. President Fisher, presented his recommendations relative to the budget. This is si distribution of the student activities fees for which each regularly enrolled student is made to pay. Lectures and entertainments received the lion's share with $2,75 being apportioned. Athletics received $1.50 for the quarter; This will include awards,, baseball, track, tennis, and golf. Social life, which includes rec hours, school dances and mixers,: was allotted $1.00, and the the Northwest Viking $.75. President Fisher's budget was accepted by a motion and unanimous vote of^ the Boards: ntembers. Tenuis Court Report A report concerning the tennis courts was tgiv6n by Jimmie Stoddard, who presented the opinion of Coach Carver that a patrol would be ineffective to regulating playing and players on the large courts. He was also of the opinion that the to-dividual himself should be made responsible for the regulations and rules on the tennis courts. Stoddard was also appointed to confer with Miss Jewell, of the Women's P. E. department, concerning the small courts. A plan is to be Worked out to be in harmony with the training school recreation hours. Committees Appointed A motion was made, seconded and carried which gave President Butler power to appoint a committee to draw up a revision of the requirements for the editors and business manager of the Northwest Viking. Elsie O'Donnell and Jimmie Stoddard were appointed. '> Vernon Leatha and Theona Flick were appointed to devise a contract and rules for the selection Of rec^ hour orchestra., Also to find a means to check guest tickets. Journalists interviewed Editor Roger Chapman, Bob Waters and Bob Walters were interviewed by the Board concerning the present status of the Northwest Viking. A lengthy discussion followed and it was impressed that the paper was far enough to debt to warrant the most stringent rules possible in checking the flow oi money out of the Viking fund. Bob Waters, present business manager, Was very optimistic as to the future of the paper and could see hci reason why it should hot come but eventually: •''•• • ',:''.:':-'\: To climax the meeting a motion was made to cut the paper to six columns and that tlie Viking, is to remato withih their appropriatibh for the remainder of the quarter. r^GTRIGITY PAID F 0 R5 The- city >cfluncil Ti'i^::Atffil$&': and accepted an of fer; of President p^s for tl^ ciwrenf fu^ Ught stands^ ^ n ^ wuncU recenUy refused to pay th* . c ^ o ^ ; i ; ^ : ; « ^ i ^ h ^ learned that the s i« of the ^^^1^^ "'•'V.'-^ •••• E&te-jgAa&iuaja

Upshall at Forum Understaiidirig of Dewey's Theories on Knowledge MA Values, Essential for Appreciation (By VIRGINIA GEORGE) ,**Johh Dewey'*, one of America's foremost educators, was the subject of a paper given by Dr. C. C. tip-shall at a recent faculty forum. Dewey's philosophy and criticisms of education formed the topic which Dr. Upshall.interpreted by quoting exerpts from the educator's books. In introducing his subject he said, "It will be necessary to discuss Dewey's theories of knowledge and of values. Ah understanding of these theories will permit a deeper appreciation of his criticisms of education. This understanding will also make possible a more adequate comprehension of' his statements of the fundamental aspects of a new education which should replace our present one." No Filed Truth 'Dewey's theory' of knowledge is radically different from that of any philosophy which presupposes an absolute or fixed 'truth* towards which education is directed. Dewey believes that knowledge is only "possible when meditation or reflection results to action, the results of which solve a situation which before was problematic. He expresses over and over again his conviction that there is no absolute or fixed truth. We can never have absolute certainty about anything to life/' Dr. Upshall continued. Formula Tested How we are to proceed to Our education if we have no "traditionally prized values as our directive standards'* is answered by Dewey's proposal,—'«from the findings of natural science" and his subsequent example: "A—change that would issue from carrying over experimental method from physics to man concerns the import of standards; principles, rules. With the transfer, these, and all tenets and creeds about.good and goods, would be recognized to be hypotheses. Instead of being rigidly fixed, they would be treated as intellectual instruments to be tested and confirmed—and altered— through consequences effected by acting upon them. They would lose ail pretense of finality—the ulterior source of dogmatism. A moral law, like a law to physics, is not something to swear by and stick to at ail hazards; it is a formula of the way to respond when specified conditions present themselves. Its soundness and pertinence are tested by what happens when it is acted upon." Two Realms Found After a survey of religion and philosophy, Dewey divides thought into two realms "the one higher, consisting of the powers which determine human destiny to all important affairs. With this religion is concerned. The other consists of the prdsaic matters to which man relies upon his own skill and his matter-of-fact insight." Man has made obvious progress in the latter realm but has done little to finding 'arts or regulation' for the former. Dr. Upshall sums up the educator's philosophy to this connection (Continued on Page Four) TENNIS TEAM SHOWS FINE FORM AT C, P. S. Racket Men Take Five Matches to Two from C. P. S. Exhibiting a brand of tennis worthy of the fine showing made by the baseball team the previous week, the tennis squad from the Belltog-ham Normal school today met and defeated the College of Puget Sound racket wielders in a decisive score of five matches to two. Although the weather conditions were not ideal, the matches got under way at the scheduled time of two o'clock and when the meet had ended at six, the fans realized that they had witnessed an exhibition of rather decent tennis. \ In the most spectacular match of the afternoon, Belltogham's number 1 man, Willy Houghton, rose to the heights to downing a lanky lad by the name of Piety. Houghton put oh the most superb tennis of the meet, to downing this six-foot specimen of bang-up tennis ability. The other stogie matches were won by Lahtonen and Carr. In the doubles Houghton and Wahl defeated Piety and Teats, and Fisher and Lahtonen defeated minis and Norman. The team went down to Sam Carver's car Tuesday at 3 p. m., and returned late Wednesday night. Singles The scores: Houghton, N, defeated Piety, 0. P. S., 8-6, 4-6 and 6-4.

DATE CHOSEN FOR ALL SCHOOL HIKE Marydel Conrad, Hike Chairman, Completes Arrangements May 7 has been selected as the date for the annual all-school hike to Skyline ridge, a spur of Mount Baker. The hike was to have been held last quarter but was postponed because of the weather. Marydel Conrad, who is to charge of the affair, says '*It will be filled with the breath of spring and really ought to prove an inspiration. Mountain climbing, snow-sliding and all the sports that 'old man winter' can give are there waiting for you." Cars Leave at 6 Cars will leave the school at 6 o'clock and will return at about 8 in the evening. Russell Nyberg will take his bus and anyone else that is able to take a car is asked to sign on the bulletin board next week. The charge is $1. Coffee will be furnished by the Normal but the hikers are asked to furnish then-own lunch. Lunches can be purchased at Edens Hail. Tests Are Scheduled for Advanced Students Tuesday, Wednesday Tests are to be given to all sixth and seventh quarter and graduating students next week in the Auditorium. Two half-days will be devoted to these tests, beginning on Tuesday, May 3, at one o'clock and Wednesday, May 4, at eight-thirty. These examinations are being given in many Normal schools and Teachers' colleges throughout the United States on the same date. Scores made by Normal school students at Bellingham will be compared with those made by students of other schools to the country. A report will be made when the survey is completed. A list has been posted of those students who are to take the tests. This list may not be complete and any persons whose names are not included but are to their sixth or seventh quarter or are graduating this June should report for these tests. o Clubs Will Hold Election May 6 Election of officers will occupy the attention of both the Women's League and Men's Club meetings, which will be the program of Friday's assembly, May 6.

The present officers of the club are: Roy Abbott, president; Sid Comfort, vice president; Roland Gissberg, secretary-treasurer, and Jimmie Stoddard, Inter-club council representative. ,—o Official Schedule is Drawn for Exams In order that faculty adjustments may be made in the proposed assignments for spring quarter examinations, the official schedule for examinations will not be posted until next week. Devoting the first three days of the last week of the quarter entirely to examinations is a decided change from the way to which examinations have formerly been given. School authorities are expecting this plan to work out successfully, and it will? probably be adopted as a permanent change. Bulletins for summer quarter have not yet arrived. Dean Bever ex pects to receive them next week. Tony Flick Hates Dill Pickles And All of the Opposite Sex (By NAOMI WATSON) Oh, is she prepared?

COLUMN BY DICTATE OF CONTROL BOARD President Fisher Convenes With Body in DiscusSion of Viking Busiiiess ACCEPTS THE BUDGET That the Northwest Viking shai be reduced to a six-column paper, was the verdict of the Board of Control at their regular meeting last Tuesday, April 28, with President James Butler presiding.
