20-year plan. Would that be going
the Russians f-o-ii-r better? Won­der
if any of the cduntry's 6,000,000
men of enforced leisure will ask,
"Why, if Russia — starting from
scratch—can achieve prosperity ..in
five years, should it take the world's
richest country twenty years to re­cover
from one year's depression?"
Sounds somewhat like an insurance
policy of twenty years of Republi­can
rule.
Then, too, I saw where gen­tlemen
prefer blonds, brunettes pre­fer
gentlemen, and red heads are as
dangerous as my big brother said
they were. He married one.
Pope Puis and 111 Dtice can't
agree as to who is to educate the
children. What! Does the hand
that holds the text books rule the
world?
Well, any way, I've always heard
it pays to advertise. Cherchez la
femme!
Whenever I observe a case of
principalitis, I regret the closing of
the Puget Sound Biological station
to Normal students. Rubbing el­bows
with folk who write so many
letters after their name that they
can afford to act their own nat­ural
selves, is a sure cure for this
peculiar disease.
Miss Jennie Waugh, who is fill­ing
Mr. Victor H. Hoppe's position
during his absence, will direct the
play.

CLUB SINGS TUESDAY
GLEE CLUB FROM MILWAUKEE
TO ENTERTAIN IN ASSEMBLY.
The Men's Glee club of the Mil­waukee
State Teachers' college will
entertain the Normal student body
at the assembly on Tuesday, June
30.
The club is composed of thirty
singers who are directed by S. A.
Thome. They have been touring
the Northwest for a number of
years and have been very well re­ceived.
Fine Tones
"The songs were well interpreted
and revealed a clear concept on the
part of each member as to tone
quality, phrasing, enunciation, bal­ance,
shadings to bring out the
meaning of the texts. In short, it
was a most 'delightful program in'
every way," says Bert M. Carlson,
ihtisic director of Plattville State
Teachers' college.
Those who have attended the pre­vious
"assemblies this quarter know
the quality of the entertainment
and they will not be disappointed in
these singers. '

Another hiking trip will take
place tomorrow morning when. Mr.
E. A. Bond will lead a party oil the
five-mile climb up Skyline Ridge.
At 6 a. m. a stage will leave the
intefurbah depot to carry the group
to the foot of the trail, just above
Glacier, a distance of about forty
miles from Bellingham. The fare
for this trip will not exceed $3.00,
and may he less, should there be a
large party. /
Provide Own Lunches
Hikers are expected to provide
their own lunches and cups; and on
the return a hot supper may,be pro­cured
at Glacier.
Skyline Ridge is possibly the
nearest vantage point to Mount
Baker accessible by a day's climb.
The trail is exceptionally good and
has already been put in shape for
the summer. It threads through
virgin timber, mainly fir, and there
are many kinds of nibss, ferns, and
wild flowers to interest the student
of botany. Bird and animal life
is also abundant.
Close to Ridge
The mountain is close to the
summit of the ridge and may be
seen to its base, and from this
viewpoint is particularly beautiful.
Roosevelt glacier lies just below the
trail's end.
Table Mountain and the country
surrounding Mount Baker lodge,
Mount Shuksan, Church Mountain,
with its little glass lookout house oh
the summit. Boundary Red, and
Tomahoi Mountains are all easily
visible from the ridge; and on a
clear day the Selkirks and Olym­pics
are glimpsed in the distance.
—O- —
Contrary to reports in last
week's Northwest Viking stating
that this summer's enrollment had
fallen short of that of a year ago,
figures issued early this week from
the president's office show the ex­act
number to be 1009, with a few
late students still being accepted
during the week.
53 at Harbor
Last summer's figures for the first
half session were 1,033. But all
these were not of the actual cam­pus
group—fifty-three of them be­ing
quartered at the Friday Harbor
Biological station.
This station is not being used by
the Normal school this summer, so
that the number at the school prop­er
Tuesday morning had reached
i.OOJ), against 980 here for the first
term last slimmer.
Others to Follow
There will be additional entering
at the start of the second five-week
period. Based on previous sessions
and the conditions at the present
time, President Fisher estimates
that the total enrollment for the
entire summer courses here at the
school will easily reach a figure be­tween
1075 and 1100.
The entire group for the school
enrollment as a whole for the full
summer work last year was 1080
students. Taking away the num­ber
at the Biological station, this
leaves a total of 1027 on the cam­pus.
There is no doubt that the
Announcements state that new
catalogues, in which the Normal
school's curriculum for the coming
year is listed, will he issued in a
few weeks.
Several Changes
There will be several changes in
requirements; as the new curricu­lum
is organized with the three-year
course as it's basis.
After September 1, 1933* three
years will be the minimum require­ment
for an elementary certificate,
with ah additional quarter's work
for the life diploma.

DRAFT GLASS CAMPS
TO STAY AT VtQUEEN LODGE
FOR WORK IN CAMP CRAFT.
Thirty-five Students
Taken by Upshall
/ to Lookout Mountain
Leaving Captain Garland's dock
in South Beliingh'am this morning
at 8 o'clock, about twenty-five
members of the Camp Craft class,
with the instructor, Miss Ruth
Weythmah, began a week-end trip
to Viqueen Lodge on Sinclair Is­land.
With provisions and passengers
aboard, the run was made in about
ah hour and a half in the chartered
sail boat.
The trip is made in order that the
girls may learn through experience
and observation the duties of camp
life. The time will be spent cook­ing
outdoors over a camp-fire,
sleeping outdoors, doing woodcraft
work and various other crafts con­nected
with camp life. The return
trip will be made Sunday evening.

A new schedule of observations,
which is now in effect in the Train­ing
school, makes it possible for
those not enrolled in the T. T. 107
classes to see the work being done
in each grade.
Choice Given
This has been done to meet the
needs of the large number of ex­perienced
teachers who are here
just for the summer. The schedule
has been so arranged as to enable
anyone to observe all morning.
Thus, they can choose the type of
work they wish to see.
Miss Mary E. Rich, director of
the Training school, says, "We are
hoping that it will not be necessary
to use visitors' cards for these ob­servations,
and we believe that the
students will observe the regulations
which are necessary to secure the
best results."
Several Rules
The general rules to be observed
are:
"Enter and leave recitation rooms
at the interchange of classes.
"Sit apart from the class.
"Refrain from taking part in the
work of the class except oh invita­tion
of the teacher.
"Do not carry on a conversation
while the regular work is in pro­gress."
Is Experiment
According to Miss Rich, this is
an experiment. If it proves to be
a success, the same privileges will be
extended to summer students in the
future. If not, visitors' cards will
again be necessary.
