E. A. MEET THE LAST FRONTIER Most of us realize that the fron­ tier of American history has van­ ished, or practically so. I mean the frontier associated with whooping Redskins, cowboys with flaming six- guns, suave, quick-finigered gam­ blers, cursing blood-spilling outlaws and rustlers, bewhiskered miners, and hard-toiling farmers—the back­ bone of the American nation. We would like to point out, how­ ever, that right here in our ownj fair state of Washington there ex­ ists, tucked back in the Cascades about forty mites from Chehalis, a small community that hearkens back tc the old feud days of Kentucky| "West Virginia, and Tennessee. Mor­ ton, the community of which we speak, an idyllic little village nest­ ling among foothills of rugged grandeur, is reminiscent of similar scenes among the Ozarks, and per­ haps that is why the original set­ tlers located there. Very 'little is known about the "history of these people, but they probabfy left West Virginia around 1880 as the result of some moiunj-. tain feud. At any rate, we find the Scissor-bills (so they are called) there from that date on, and untij quite recent years they maintained ah isolation penetrated neither by «ausal settlers and tourists nor by prohibition aigents and game war- -dens. At present we have on the campus several people, reared in and about Morton, who have, given us much reliable information on these inter- •esting people. We wish to present a few of these anecdotes in order to set at rest many vague and unsavory rumors which have been circulating -of late. Morton is situated in a V-shaped -cleft in the mountains called Bear ?ap. A road winds its precarious* way to the top along one side, and at several places the traveler may pause and look straight down for what seems miles there, far below, lie sees a narrow ribbon of silver "which is really quite a river. One tale has it that the natives plaait their potatoes on these steep hill­ sides and in the fall dig a hole at the bottom and let the potatoes roll «ut. We do not believe this—it is fan­ tastic and probably plagiarism on Paul Bunyan. It's true, however, that they plant corn with a shotgun. •Certain of the hillsides are of red •clay, and in the spring it is so slip-. Jery that it is impossible to walk or work on them. Therefore they ttse a shotgun to shoot corn int^ol these fields. By fall the ground is sufficiently dried out to enable them to harvest the crop. One student from that region gives us an amusing glimpse into their1 life. His father was quite a promi­ nent man in a community bordering that of the Scissor-bills. A fellow from Morton had borrowed $20 from Jfiim, and every Saturday would come over and pay back a dollar or fouir bits or whatever he had been able to accumulate during the week from selling wood, etc. Sometimes he v/ould bring over a dozen eggs or a haunch of venison. He finally pay- -off all but $1.50. That Saturday he «ame and handed over a §5 bill, -whereupon this student's father said: "This isn't right, you owe me a dollar and a half." The fellow from Morton got angry. MISS JOHNSON RECEIVES M. A. AT COLUMBIA U. Wins First Prize for Mural on Education Miss Pauline Johnson, popular art teacher, returned to the Washington State Teachers' College for the sum­ mer session from New York City where she received her Master of Arts degree at Columbia University. Miss Johnson found New York City a very interesting place—a city of extremes where the most modern things could be found side by side with the very old. She plans to tell about some of her experiences and about the city in general in an as­ sembly in the latter part of summer school. She found Harlem and the Ghetto probably the two most fasci­ nating places. During the year she was a delegate to a convention where she represented the Pacific Coast and was the only delegate west of the Mississippi River. The group formed a new art organization to be called the National Association for Art Education which will include all the art organizations throughout the country. Miss John­ son was chairman of the nominating committee. One of the high spots in the year was the winning of first prize for a mural on education. She entered two —one on the little red school house received fifth place, the other done on the arts received first place. The niural showing the different arts was 6 feet by 12 feet and done in red purples, orangy siennas, and rich blues. The murals were placed in Russell Hall. Among the distinguish­ ed visitors was Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt with whom Miss Johnson had her picture taken. Articles and pictures appeared in the New York papers showing her winning, picture.

But if he haa a little trouble with the stump, per­ haps school wouldn't start until 11. (Continued on page 2) EEINE KLEINE NACHTMUSIK by Mozart. Next, the orchestra played the Largo and Vivace movements from a Bach Concerto for Two Vio­ lins. Marjorie Kanyer and Arvo Kaiyala were soloists. The third number consisted of four songs sung by Sara Somerville Gil- lett, guest soloist, accompanied by Juanita Davies. Two of these songs, AUTUMN NOCTURNE and SUN­ DOWN, were composed by Mr. Pyle, the words being written by Jack Matthews. The other two numbers are CARNAVAL by Fourdrain and MIDSUMMER by Amy Worth. To conclude this program the A Cape'ila choir sang three numbers— CHERBIM SONG by Bortniansky, I JJEHELD HER BEAUTIFUL AS A DOVE by Healey Willan, and KYE SONG OF SAINT BRIDE by Clokey. Miss Jessie Kidwell underwent an operation for appendicitis Monday afternoon. Being elected a justice of the peace in a rural area is not at all it "is cracked up to be," asserts Ray Trei- chel, superintendent of schools at Silver lake and the "law" in that community. Treichel is cancelling a 85,000 indemnity bond and seeking one that does not cost him so much in premium because, as he points out, the income from the office does not meet the expense of maintaining this bond. To date Judge Treichel has per­ formed three marriages and in each instance the groom has "put it on the cuff." In other words, the cere­ monial fee went onto the credit side of the ledger. He has had one court case for which he collected the cus­ tomary fee of $2 and in the year andl one-half he has been in office this $2 constitutes his entire receipts. And the yearly premium for the in­ demnity bond is §10. Judge Treichel points out that bond ci $500 is all that is required and that a property bond will suffice. The judge was "new" in politics a year and a half ago, but he empha­ sizes he is getting "on to the ropes." Judge Treichel did not run for the Silver lake judgeship, his election being the work of his many friends in his district. BRILLIANT CAST * FOR FIRST PLAY Cornish Player Contributes to Local Talent, Rehear­ sals Start Soon Ida Thayer, Margaret Dieringer. Charles Trainor and Gilman Ronald have been chosen as the cast for HIGHNESS, the first one-act play tc be presented this quarter. Playing the lead of Anna, Ida Thayer, the unknown in dramatic circles here, has potential abilities that will be well worth seeing when the play is produced. Margaret Dieringer, well known for her long list of charming roles in the past, and especially for the brilliant performance she gave last fall in THE LADIES OF THE JURY, takes the role of Masha. Charles Trainor, carrying the male lead of Paul, has been with the Cornish Players in Seattle for two years and will throw all his experi­ ence and ability into the characteri­ zation. Gilman Ronald, a graduate drama­ tics major of W. S. C., and remem­ bered here for his splendid interpre­ tation of the bluff, hearty Colonel in J. M. Barrie's ALICE-SIT-BY- THE-FIRE in the spring of '35, has the part of Gregory. Such an experienced cast gives promise of a finished product worthy of the department. HIGHNESS, by Ruth Giroloff, is a (Continued on page 2) Mrs. Millicent Brinker departed June 27th for Los Angeles to be with her daughter's child. Three years ago, Mrs. Brinker came to Ellensburg from Seattle as the house mother at Munson Hall. The following summer she became the house mother at Sue Lombard Hall. Mrs. Brinker leaves us to join her very talented daughter, Kay Brinker, and to care for her three-year old child while she is in the east. Kay Brinker, as she is known on the stage, has been playing over the radio this winter. She has played opposite Leslie Howard in many roles. She ha.? just sighed a contract with A. L. Woods, Ttd., to go on the stage. She is to have the lead in "Night of January Sixteenth," opening in New York in the fall. From there she will go to London. At Christmas time, Mrs. Brinker .will join her daughter either in New York or in London. The Los Angeles Times writes of Miss Brinker: "A Seattle girl who has made good in this big city and now has a prime opportunity to make good on the stage and personally I think she'll click." Mrs. Brinker has another talented daughter, Mary Brinker Post. Mrs. Post*is an outstanding writer, the wife of an Episcopal minister and the mother of three children. As a house mother here, Mrs. Brinker was held in high esteem by all the students. She wishes us to know that she takes away very happy memories of the school and will al­ ways have A. warm spot in her heart for the delightful girls. We are sorry to lose Mrs. Brinker but we appre- cite the opportunity that has been ours in living under her guidance. Mrs. Rainey, present house mother at Munson Hall, has been appointed to fill the vacancy. Holmes Lectures on Communism, Fascism, and Dictatorship Trend There are three hundred and fifty million people living under the rule of dictatorship. Communism is a structure fascism is a method. These are two statements taken at random fiom the talk that Dean Holmes gave to the combined social science classes on Monday, second period. Mr. Holmes went on to explain the dif­ ferences between communism and fascism. The first does away with capitalism, private property, and human initiative. In other words, there is a radical change in the eco­ nomic system. In the second, a politi­ cal change is the important thing. Profits, private property, and human initiative are all exploited by politi­ cal methods. Propaganda dictatorships. all ana is the basis of A strong army ruthless destruction of all opposition does much to strengthen the position held by a dictator. Much good can be done by a dictator, but when he is removed, the country is ieft in a state of collapse. There is no chance of the United '.States becoming communistic al­ though there is a fair possibility that fascism may succeed. The systems of Hitler and Mussolini are very much alike, but the system of Stalin iis very different. The world is now v-atxhing to see how far these dicta­ torial governments go in the next few years. PLACEMENT NEWS The placement office, placing more students weekly, continues busy.

He and his wife are attending sum­ mer school, and plan to remain for the quarter. Lots of luck, folks. From the "City of Roses" and narrow streets came the voice of the American school system—"Education Moving Forward." From the de­ nouncement of education's dictator­ ship to the plea of youth to be heard gained much support from the 5,000 or so who audited the public forums.) The city, itself, was quite gailyi decked with the N. E. A. coat of arms and the city's personal shawls that hung overhead on every down­ town street. Wherever one looked roses could be seen, some small, some huge, beautiful as they are they made an inspiring appeal to most everyone's aesthetic nature. With a 15,000 increase in popula­ tion in this short period of time the city hummed with vim, vigor and vitality. One porter was heard - to say, "Conventions like this don't happen every day. It makes us feel happy to be so busy that we do not have time to. think about our own little troubles." Every turn of the face, no matter where one- went, the problems of the schoolroom were being discussed. According to John W. Studebaker, U. S. Commissioner of Education, the teaching of governmental science should not be supressed in any way. The situation in the District of Co­ lumbia known as the "red river," where a teacher is compelled to take an oath each month that she had not taught communism in her school, appeared to be quite unethical so far as the education is concerned, ac­ cording to the commissioner. Edgar H. Whitney, first assistant superin­ tendent of Portland Schools, corro­ borated Dr. Studebaker's statements by saying this: "If the facts of history cannot be freely discussed without incurring the wrath of prej­ udiced groups if the religions of the world cannot be compared without bringing down upon the teacher's head the wrath of some narrow- minded denominational group if the politics of our country shall continue to be the football of the predatory politician and efforts on the part of the teachers in our schools to bring enlightened intelligence to play in the evaluation of governments, men and measures, without having the schools condemned as subersive institutions and the teachers branded as anarch­ ists and communists by those whose political schemes would be thwarted by a full knowledge of the truth, iust so long will it be impossible for a social science curriculum worthy of the name to function in our publih schools." Dr. Studebaker also stated that the loan, hungry wolf no ionger howls at the schoolhouse door. Hard times are passing into the realm of the for­ gotten things. The government contemplates the expenditure of $300,000 for a series of demonstration forums in as many states as possible for the purpose of stimulating adult education, these forums to be under the auspices of the local school boards. Three schools have already been started, namely Manchester, N. H., Monongahila, West Virginia, and Colorado Springs, Colorado. Education—The Way Out The opening and vital speech given by Chancellor Hunter of Oregon State System of Higher Education outlines three points as the accept­ ance of ' the inevitable responsibility which the nation places upon the teaching profession": First. The spiead of knowledge has a creative rescue power for the ills of society. In the past when it has seemed the last vestiges of civilization would perish from the earth, society has again and again been saved by a re­ vival of learning. The teaching pro­ fession of the democracies of the world must never be allowed to for­ get this fundamental truth. The evi. dence of history is unmistakable and our mandate may be clearly read." "Second. Our American origin and the total of our life experience com­ mits us irrevocably to the democratic philosophy of life. The wisdom of our forebears as stated in the ordi­ nance of 1787 is as applicable and valid as in 1787. 'Religion, morality and the diffusion of knowledge being necessary to the progress of the peo­ ple, schools and the means of educa­ tion shall forever be encouraged.' (Continued on page 3)

UNION There is at present in Eastern Washington to our knowledge several instances where unorganized labor has revolted against the employers of their toil and brought about, in one case at least, one of the most pathetic strike cases in Eastern Washington history. There are located in this town men who have known each other over a period of years and a lifetime who have turned (against each other with harsh words and blows in an effort to either hold their job in a mill or cause the owners to recognize organized labor, organized to bargain collectively for the right to demand en-masse rights and remuneration for their toil that will entitle them to an existence embracing life, liberty, and the pur­ suit of happiness as was provided by the constitution of the United States. Now what is meant by happiness is a thing that has been left for the individual himself to ascertain. The fathers of our country who drew up the document could not cover every phase of life with a code as intricate as the N. R. A., but left some measure of interpretation to the man or woman who wanted to be a citizen of the United States of America. That one word, happiness, as­ sisted by liberty, is the cause of father and son turning against each other, neighbors fighting, and old friends quarreling, which is not altogether what the forebears of this democracy intended to imply. It remains for the American to judge by the standards of everyday life the things that entitle him to term himself happy and possessed of liberty and the pursuit thereof and for this reason it behooves us as educators to either lead our com­ munities into a state of contentment to existing conditions or awaken them to the evils of an industrial monopoly that will eventually cause our downfall and curtail the freedom of thought that has long been the right of American education. There is much said daily in the press of the country about red radicalism but very little about yellow journalism, which is a thought—if you as a teacher care to think it. The words "The world will little note or long remember what we say here, but long remember what we do here," is an everyday chore to us, but did you ever stop to think about them? And while we're on the subject may we ask if you belong to any kind of teachers' union? MORE ABOUT THE LAST FRONTIER (Continued from page 1) The teacher himself came bare-foot­ ed and in blue shirt and bib overalls. Classes were called by grades. The first grade would be called up,' to the front for recitation, and other grades came in order. Now of course these were condi­ tions prevalent some time ago. Re­ cently the highway has been put through Morton and that community is now becoming quite modern, with up-to-date schools, etc. Soon the last frontier will have vanished from Morton too, MORE ABOUT FIRST PLAY (Continued from ©age 1) tragic drama centering around four persons. Because of clashes between love and hate, rich and poor, there are several problems woven into this one-act play. Rehearsal under the direction of Mr. Russell Lembke, head of the Dramatic Department, will start soon. The casts for TWO GENTLEMEN OF SOHO and THRIFTSHOP have not yet been announced. AMPUS AMPUS FLO CANDID COMMENTS ON A CONVENTION The best place in the world to spend money, look dumb, and be­ come indoctrinated and propagand­ ized. A strong man who goes to such an affair and comes home in one piece. Either he is the forgot­ ten man, (insignificant me) or he loses the use of the right arm, or he has been sold on some fool theory1 that is used on "furrenurs," of the Ozarks, and works quite well there (considering the pork, and corn- squeezers complex.) The climax of the whole affair was the display in the cellar of all the mechanical (machine and verbal) gadgets that assist Johnny in learn­ ing that much better. Perhaps there was a gadget in some corner where 1 was unable to crowd imy way that tested Johnny's feet to ascertain whether they were flat or not and thus show the effect on his mental­ ity according to the meta-dorsa! handicap. And still another climax higher than the first was the advocation of the teaching of the sound system of economics. Who knows the sound system of economics? And still some feminine emo'tionalists will foam at the mouth in an attempt to convince her heat-stricken, sleepy (mentally and physically) audience on the idea. The last and highest "Everistic"' peak is the pedagogues demand to teach the theories of all governments and religions. Let one ask you a few questions. How many educators can name the planks of the commun­ ist manifesto, the fundamentals of nazistic and fascistic technique, or the silent and powerful system o£ Emperor Hirohito? Then too, how many educators can name the 12 liv­ ing religions and give the ten or so fundamental "Commandments" of each? Ah! But you say: "An educator knows where to go to find out what he wants to know." I wonder if we realize that men have spent lifetimes on the study of one religion and then express their ignor­ ance. The truth of the thing is—do we know what the limits of our abilities are? On our way home still muttering from habit, "Isn't the convention so inspiring?" we begin to wonder what it's all about. Emerging from the fog as we approach familiar topography, we forget the past and head into the sun in hope of doing a : best we can under the circum-r stances. J. N. O.

Sieei gr6y and ice white is the newest combination, but navy blue and sea foam white, forest green or wood brown and daisy white, or black and chalk white also are big favorites. Navy blue and black organza, net, dotted swiss, chiffon and sheer silk all are used to make simple frocks with fairly high necklines and short or long sleeves finished with snow white collars and cuffs of organdy or pique. With them go matching sl'.ort jackets, (trim and fitted or loose and swagger) or waist-length capes. Suits of cotton, rayon suiting or none erushable" linen are other big favorites. Often they are worn with­ out blouses. Accessories put the finishing touches to the outfit's. Add flower toques, boutonnieres and suede gloves all of the same shade to your town togs—for instance, a white carna­ tion toque and gloves with a putty* crepe flecked with white and red carnation accessories with blue. I have a fashion tip for the boys, too. Striped linen ties and a match­ ing belt are shown for men's sum­ mer suits or tennis flannels.

REVIEW FORUM "THE GOLDEN DAY" By Lewis Mumford Reviewed by John Kerby In this book of Mr. Mumford's one is kept alert, not so much by the subject matter as by his clear, can­ did analysis of the various periods in American history and the effect these periods had on the various literai-y figures and their works. Of these men some were discussed because of their worth and others because of their lack of it. All in all I feel that he gives due credit to those people, writers, and thinkers who contributed toward alleviating the barenness of the field of American literature. He carries one through seven chap­ ters and some two hundred and eighty-seven pages in his attempt to show American literary thought in formation. Following this he criti­ cally portrays the "Romanticism" of the pioneers, who idealized their existence in an attempt to rational­ ize their actions to a staid, puritanni- cal conscience. From this he slips easily into the "Golden Day" where he puts Thoreau, in the role of the path-finder, into a new life—a man that absorbed his richness, ever new­ ness, and high life from the soil of his own America. He gives Whit­ man his full due and lauds him to the skies as the central figure in poetry, a man who reveled in every phase of American life from Puritan­ ism to Political Metamorphos. On to the end of this section of the book he lines out the men who lived in this high age of idealism, men who profited by it and in turn en-i riched American literature to an in­ comparable degree. Mr.- JMumford next attempts to explain the decandence of America and the writers of this later period as being the result of the lack of proper background, as well as the fact that even those with ability were constantly under the shadow of the Civil War issues. These issues con­ sequently led to such a disillusion­ ment and reversion of ideals that even the near-great in natural ability were kept from achieving greatness by' the circumstances ever surround­ ing them. If I were asked to recommend this book to others I would do so only to those with a sufficiently strong background in history as to enable them to fully understand and appre­ ciate the influence natural conditions and social evolution had on these men and their works. In reading this book I feel that I have profited a great deal, and though I do not agree with the author in every detail, I honestly feel that he has clarified certain things that I had before wondered about— as the possible reasons for the few really great men in our field of lit­ erature, and the fact that the ones thought of as great were grouped al­ most without exception into one period. Of course, one could take the stand that in nearly every case that which is good must be seen from, afar in order to appreciate the worth of it. That may be, but as Mr. Mum-, ford points out, the great ones he considers worthy of the name were recognized in their true light at the time they wrote, and the later "hack" writers were recognized as writers because of the lack of anything bet­ ter.

FRENCH: ((Republican Party) The republican party is opposed to dictators, under whatever guise, ano stands for representative govern­ ment. The time has come when we must cast into the discard the twin doc­ trines of disaster, economy of scarc­ ity and scarcity of economy, in the transaction of our nation's business The republican party stands for representative government, it stands for orderly amendment to our con­ stitution, it stands for respect for law, it stands for honest and efficient civil service. The republican party believes in sound money, that a dollar must not change in value any more than a yardstick must be permitted to have different lengths in different stores or on cloudy days. You imay or may not concur with v hat the republican party has said in its platform, but you must concede that it is clear, definite and concise.

And if my bubbles be too small for you, Blow bigger then your own the games we play To fill the frittered minutes of a day, Good glasses are to read the spirit througli. And who so reads may get him some shrewd skill And some unprofitable scorn resign, To praise the very thing that he de­ plores So, friends (dear friends), remember, if you will, The shame I win for singing is all mine, The gold I miss for dreaming is alt yours. THE GARDEN There is a fenceress garden over­ grown With buds and blossoms and all sorts of leaves And once, among the roses and the sheaves, The Gardener and I were there alone. He led me to the plot where I had thrown The fennel of my days on wasted ground, And in that riot of sad weeds I found The fruitage of a life that was my own. My life! Ah, yes, there was my life indeed! And there were all the lives of hu­ mankind And they were like a book that t could read, Whose every leaf, miraculously- signed Outrolled itself from Thought's eter­ nal seed, Love-rooted in God's garden of the- mind. CREED I cannot find my way there is no- star Iii all the shrouded heavens any­ where And there is not a whisper in the air- Of any living voice but one so far That I can hear it only as a bar Of lost, imperial music, played when, fair And angel fingers wove, and unaware- Dead leaves to garlands where no- roses are. No, there is not a glimmer, nor a call, For one that welcomes, welcomes when he fears, The black and awful chaos of the night For through it all—above, beyond^ it all— I know the far-sent message of the years, I feel the coming glory of the light.. —E.

DRIFTWOOD FIRES We sat by a driftwood fire one lazy summer night far up in the black pit of the sky above us hung mil­ lions of stars, behind us like a round pat or butter was the moon. We gazed at each other with smiling lips and then again fastened our eyes on the many colors of the flames that lapped at our driftwood so hungarily. The slap slap of the water against the rocks, and the croaking of the frogs with the soft coo of a night- bird were like music after the din din of a busy city. We sat by a driftwood fire, my friend and I, and with clasped hands forgot the worries and bitternesses of our lives, the injustices of the world, the fears that often seemed to hang over as like ghosts, and with the deep trust of friendship looked into each others eyes and smiled. There were no words to be spoken, they were inadequate we looked again into each other's eyes and smiled we gripped hands and gained a new strength and a greater vision to face a topsy turvey world as we sat and gazed into our driftwood fire. stage play, "The Children's Hour." I think it was the most magnificent, heart-gripping thing I have seen this Sear. If you have the chance to see. it—don't miss it. It is the story of how a child's great lie almost ruins the lives of three young people who liave struggled for all they have at­ tained and suddenly all is a shattered heap about them, a beautiful house built only to be laid in ruins by the construing of an innocent act by lies. Of course in the show things are straightened out, but not so with the stage play, and the play's ending is likely to be the real-life one. We are apt to be a little smuj? when we watch this drama and think' that such a thing can never touch us, that we small gods would never lie in such a way. But we who are self-styled realists are doing as we always have done—we are smearing over an ugly fact with bright cello­ phane, and then if we look back we shudder to see the horrid thing still leering through at us. Some of us have already felt the rting of a lie. Suddenly to find our­ selves caught in the net of untruth, yet powerless to free ourselves—to Stories have it that while two of our prospective educators were mot­ oring from Seattle to the green pas­ tures of dear old W. S. N. S., one turned to the other and said: "Wan- cha to be a little more careful. Firs' thing ya know you'll be going some place this road doesn't" "Who, me?" said the other, some­ what astonished and more or less perturbed.

The two months old baby has been christened Josephine Ann. (Guess who is boss in this family?) While we had heard it rumored, we were not sure until the Durants, with several friends, dropped in for a visit. They were homeward bound after a short tour of the eastern part of the state. At present they are situated in She!ton awd would be pleased to hear from their friends here. A GRIN I suddenly came upon a new for­ mula for successful living the other day. It was a grin, a perfectly beau­ tiful grin followed up by a sudden succession of explosive chuckles. Like the deep, delightful, gurgling of a brook these chuckles came bubbling between white teeth. And gazing as if fascinated, upon this new formula, I suddenly began to smile myself and felt the long - forgotten crinkles around my own eyes begin to ap­ pear. Yes, f found a new formula for successful living the other day, a new letter of introduction—danc­ ing, sunshine-flecked eyes and a grin that vied with that of Pan.

Don't you wish ,you were I with my sneaker clad feet and my cherries? There are cherries in our trees! And here I lie with an awful pain in my innards. The sheets are very lovely and white.

Everyone seemed to enjoy the picture, which started at 9 p. m. arid continued until approximately 12 o'clock. As the students departed from the theater they were treated to an ice cream bar.

McConnell, president of the Washington State Teachers' College, with Mrs. McConnell and their son Bobby spent a pleasant two weeks' vacation in Southern Califor­ nia from which they returned to El­ lensburg, July 6. They left Seattle, June 23, by boat for San Francisco. From there they drove to Los An­ geles. They spent one day on the beach at Santa Barbara, one of the most beautiful cities of Southern Califor­ nia, and two days at Santa Cruz, an outstanding health and pleasure re­ sort on the coast of California. The rest of the time was spent visiting various points of interest in the Los Angeles area. Among the many places visited were the University of California, Southern Branch, the Uni­ versity of Southern California, the California Institute of Technology, the Hollywood Bowl, the famous Santa Anita race track, the Los An­ geles museum, and Grauman's Chi­ nese Theater in Hollywood. By the aid of a guide they toured the Bev­ erly Hills section where they saw the homes of 60 famous movie stars. Dr. McConnell resumed his duties on the campus Tuesday, July 7. Democracy: Draw Your Own Conclusion I believe there was a small matter of §827,000 of N. E. A. income that is to be spent during the coming year. The matter showed the prac­ tical side of the educator or rather forced him to show his hand. The issue was—(1) to allow the small number of men now in control of the expenditure of this money to con­ tinue to do so, or (2) increase the number by representation from the N. E. A. differential departments to form a board of control. Through a very well planned tech­ nique of propaganda and legitimate railroading the department represen­ tation's motion was "thrown out" and the issue remained as it was— in the hands of the few. Which is democracy? It looks very much like the convention was not letting its right know what its left hand was doing. In the next session the edu­ cators were bemoaning the loss of the true democratic policy in educa­ tion—intelligent education in all things. I guess it's a matter of whose toe is stepped on the hardest or pick­ ing the pig with the least squeal. In the second of his illustrated art lectures before the Normal school as­ sembly, John Allcott, visiting art in­ structor, last Tuesday took as his subject the various types of archi­ tecture found in Ellensburg. The Old Administration building on the ampus with its sturdy tower he be­ lieved was meant by the architect to symbolize the strength of educa­ tion. The new Washington School built more recently has had this fea­ ture omitted in favor of something more utilitarian. More windows and other features of design show a tend­ ency toward the functional archi­ tecture that is characteristic of many modern buildings. Mr. Alcott spoke enthusiastically of several modern homes he has in­ spected in the community. They have, he said, the well tailored look of something nicely planned and pro­ portioned so that in later times they will not disgrace their owners. The Jones home on Ninth street with its trend toward the simplicity, conveni­ ence and utility found in the archi­ tecture of Frank Loyd Wright and Corbusier is a notable example of its kind found in the valley here. It ex­ emplifies the idea expressed by Cor busier that the house is a machine for living. IT lias a spaciousness un­ known to the Victorian era. It is a spaciousness that is achieved by hori­ zontal expansion rather than by the use of the high ceiling. It gives one the feeling of informality and friend­ liness rather than one of regality or stateliness, he believes. The modern architect because of the introduction of new materials and methods of structure does not need to hesitate with the blinds up, and hone of them to put in a window wherever it is have arms long enough to reach j wanted. Consequently the dark, haz- across to Sue and pull them down. jardous corridor is the thing of the past. Business structures of the city were also appraised by Mr. Allcott in the light of their artistic merits. Web­ ster's cafe, he found to embrace some of the triumphs of the modern archi­ tect and designer. The interior walls, with their four tone finish give the effect of receding into the distance thereby giving the illusion of a great­ er spaciousness. The recently constructed Service Drug store with its ebony glass front gives one the feeling of ultimate simplicity and cleanliness. Its in­ terior, equally seductive, leads one to "impute its qualities to the products and the service dispensed there." The Audion theater has inherent in its interior designs certain qualities that have the powers of conveying the feeling of infinite upward exten­ sion of space. The lights between the paneling of the walls seem to affect one because of the design and pat­ tern that they diffuse outward and upwai-d. Mr. Allcott has an instantaneous appeal to an audience because of his combined faculties of subtle wit, en- paging personality, and his pertinent comment on art materials and art principles.

The method of science applied to the realm of economics confirmed the conception that wide­ spread economic prosperity is to be found in the constant increase of the levels of living and culture of the people. The intensive application of principles of scientific research to economic problems and to a study of the causes of the great depression, such as the series of Brookings in­ stitution, furnishes abundant evi­ dence to support this tenent." Youth's Friend The speech given by Miss Willie A. iSawson, secretary, Arkansas Educa­ tional-Association on "Youth Speaks" varified Maxine Davis' book, "The Lost Generation." Miss Sawson quite emphatically as well as humorously gave the treaty of youths' conceip- tions of the "foster generation," and evidenced the fact that they were quite disappointed and preferred to hoe their own row" without any meddling, bungling or fumbling by their predecessors. At each state­ ment of her own the audience agreed with a resounding, sophisticated agreement. Dr. Sproul, however," gave quite a rebuttal to youth's voice by stating "youth's appeal, if youth is matting an appeal, must be answered by education reaching all the nation." Secretary of Education A Secretary of Education for the President's Cabinet is on the way. The teachers are for it according to Vierling K,ejrsej^ President of the National Council of State Superin­ tendents, and the teachers usually get what they want. The matter is fast 'becoming a hot issue in the Middle West, owing to the demand cf federal finance and uniform edu­ cative policies, public education will become a major issue and the secre­ tary a necessity. The summary of the convention may be stated in short as integra­ tion, freedom of speech, more em­ phasis on child and less on this thing we call a "unit," democracy through education, youth's preparation to meet the contemporary situations, and last and very important, the way out of the present multi-chaotic con­ dition and as a safeguard against further conditions is through the leadership of education by stimulat­ ing the nation to collectively educate itself to face the situation and find the solution through electics.

RESUME OF NEA Stands Taken on Academic Freedom, Teacher Tenure Portland, Oregon, last week played host to thousands of school teachers i'roin all sections of the United States who attended the sevenly--fourth annual convention of the National Educational Association. The con­ vention opened with a vesper service on Sunday evening, June 2,8, and closed with a general session on Thursday evening, July 2. At this last session representatives of the three major political parties, the democrats, the republicans and the socialists, in turn outlined their re­ spective party platforms and cam­ paign issues. (Some of the prominent speakers who appeared on the program dur­ ing these sessions were: Widles A. Sutton, Superintendent of Schools, Atlanta, Georgia Mr. John W. Stude- baker, U. S. Commissioner of Educa­ tion Miss Agnes Samuelson, presi­ dent of the N. E. A. A. H. Threlkild, Superintendent of Schools, Denver, Colorado Norman Coleman, Reed College Dr. Robt. Sproul, president of University of California Joseph Rosier, past president N. E. A. Dr. Paul Hanna, professor of education, Stanford University. The main themes of the general sessions in­ cluded such important issues as in­ tegrating education ans democracy implementing the children's char­ acter speeding educational equality: advancing teacher welfare conserv­ ing American youth developing dis­ crimination in the uses of new tools meeting new needs on the elementary school level meeting new needs on the secondary school level conquer­ ing new frontiers evaluating na­ tional issues. The business of the convention was transacted through the representa­ tive assemblies which were composed of more than 1,000 delegates from the various states. Mr. Orville C. Prater, Superintendent of ^Schools, Spokane, Washington, was elected president of the association for 1937 Detroit was chosen as the 1937 convention city. Of. greatest interest to the teach­ ing profession were the stands taken fcy the association on such issues as academic freedom, teacher tenure, federal aid, compulsory military training, youth conservation,, world peace, radio time for education and the single salary principle. The representatives endorsed the Harri­ son-Fletcher "Bill which would provide federal aid for education in the states beginning with a grant of $100,000 a year and increasing to a maximum of $300,000,"000. Declaring that "in­ tellectual freedom is a public safe­ guard and the surest guarantee of orderly change and progress," the association unanimously adopted the report of the committee on academic freedom which stated that "teachers should be accorded the full legal rfeht of all citizens to express pub­ licly their, views and to ally them­ selves with organizations of their own schoosing." MRS. MAYNARD NOW AT MUNS0N As a result of the change in per­ sonnel in the dormitories, Mrs. Fay B. Maynard of Yakimp has been chosen to replace Mrs. Rainey who has been transferred to Sue Lombard Hall.

The palace with its glass walls set an inch apart in a wooden frame is partly filled with dirt. All of the different activities of an ant hill can be observed constructing of tunnels, storing food, feeding each other, car­ rying eggs and larvae around, wash­ ing themselves (twenty or more times a day) burying their dead in a spe­ cial place. The young nature en­ thusiasts have an opportunity to study the anatomy, habits .and intri­ cate social existence of the ant, in a way much more interesting than from a book. This unique nature study project was obtained by Miss Anderson from two New York ladies who are busy selling them to schools, museums, and to curious people, and it threatens to become a nation-wide fad like guppies, the agents say. The palaces are made an ex-school teacher in New Hampshire who founded his un­ usual business during the depression. "Palaces" can be obtained of crick­ ets, bees, hoptoads, and chameleons.

DICK the SHOE DOCTOR says Our Work Is Never Done Until You Are Satisfied ACROSS FROM N Y CAFE Si' ..43 Washington state's unemployed artists will no longer be listed among the nation's forgotten men and wom­ en. That is the assertion, at leatet, of Joseph A. Danysh, Regional Di­ rector for the Federal Art Projects of the Works Progress Administra­ tion, who arrived here today from ©an Francisco to confer with Don G. Abel, State WPA Administrator, and set up a WPA art project in Washington state to employ unem­ ployed artists "We realize the situation that confronts us," Danysh said upon ar­ rival, "in getting the art projectsi under way. For many artists, now ,on the relief rolls, or engaged on other WPA projects, knowing that no art projects were in operation in the state of Washington when the WPA program was announced, were reluctant to put down their qualifica­ tions as artists, hence many of them masked their true identities ky giv­ ing secondary qualifications such as truck drivers, house painters, plast­ erers, etc. By so doing, they hoped, of course, to be called for work as­ signments sooner than otherwise. As a consequence many who cian qualify for work on the new art proj'n ects to be set up in this state undefr- Federal supervision are now engaged on other WPA projects where they have no chance to do the work for which they are most naturally equip­ ped by aptitude and training." Painters, sculptors, photographers, craftsmen in metals and other ma­ terials, wood carvers, weavers, poster artists, interior decorators, litho­ graphers, stone cutters, plaster cast­ ers, and all ethers who have had training or experience in allied arts will be eligible for work on the new art projects, Danysh said. All persons in the state of Wash­ ington who have had training or ex­ perience in the above arts, but are now employed on other WPA proj­ ects, are, as yet, unassigned to WPA work from the relief rolls are requested to call at the WPA offices, 301 Alaska Building, to state their qualifications and bring along sam­ ples of their work. Those living outside Seattle should contact the same offices by letter as soon as possible, Danysh says. Love is the flavoring extract in the ice cream of life.

TRAINING T0PIC0F TALKS Youth Education and Voca­ tional Guidance Also Considered The National Education Associa­ tion in their business session Thurs­ day, July 2, went on record as op­ posing compulsory military training in schools, colleges, and universities. They urged that military training when included in the curriculum be under the direction of regular school authorities. This question of military training was the most bitterly con­ tested of the day. A report of the resolutions com­ mittee condemning "the prevailing tendency to militarize the schools through the increasing support and expansion of the reserve officers' training corps" was rejected by a vote of 632 to 341. The leading argu­ ment against the report was that it was a blow at adequate national de­ fense and tended to promote dis­ loyalty among students. The convention made an appeal for a youth division in the federal of­ fice of education because "there are now millions of youth who are out of school and unemployed," and that "the problem of transfer from schools to productive employment is a per­ manent one." As outlined by the convention, the egency would co-ordinate into a single division the various agencies of the government intended to aid youth educationally, make studies to determine the employment needs of youth in industry and the conditions of employed youth in industry, serve as a clearing house for information affecting problems of youth, stimu­ late communities to make more ef­ fective provision for youth, provide effective guidance and vocational education to enable youth to qualify for employment, and provide ade­ quate financial aid for all needy youth to continue education until gainfully employed. Munson Hall News THE LAUNDRY OF PURE MATERIALS You Need Never Hesitate to Send your most Delicate Fabrics te THE K. E. LAUNDRY Main 4t) . - - - j THE TAVERN DINNERS A SPECIALTY BEST PLACE IN TOWN TO EA1 117 West Fourth Street The members of Munson Hall are now making preparations for a three hand pinochle tournament. There has been much sharpening of bidding ability and techniques of playing pinochle. It is doubtful that the tournament will be in full swing until after our week off because so many of our members are leaving for the week, June 28, to July 5, 1936. After having made special prepara­ tion to listen to the radio reports of the fight between Joe Lewis and Max Schmeling on Thursday, June 18, those interested in the fight gathered around the radio in the recreation room on Friday, June 19, to listen to the fight which was postponed from Thursday to Friday. Heinie Heintzel man was the lucky man of the house. He won the pool by holding number 12. Thursday evening, June 25, the members of the Hall were honored by the appearance of Mr. Sutton, Sup­ erintendent of IStehools of Atlanta, Georgia. Mr. Sutton gave an informal discussion on questions pertaining to education. The chief point of interest was the methods of aiding those boys and girls who desire to continue their education but who are unable to do so because of financial difficulties. Friday, July 10, Munson Hall is sponsoring a dance which is to be held in the old gymnasium. The or­ chestra will start playing at 9 p. m., and all students are invited to at­ tend. SPORT QUIPS Seattle started a bad hitting slump this last week which is a bad acqui­ sition at the start of a southern tour. It's a sociological fact that if you're wrong more than 50 per cent of the time you're quite a failure—but base- ball gives one exception to this. If a batter is "right" four times out of every ten trips to the plate, he's a miracle man. With every big track meet bring­ ing forth n!w records one wonders when man will reach his peak in ability to cut down time and space. We'll have to start putting in hazards in the home stretch before one of these dark cyclones runs the 100 in nothing flat. Unofficial predictions by several officials connected with the Wash­ ington oarsmen say this year's crew is the greatest of all times—and so far they haven't had to take back their rash statements. On to Berlin is the war cry now and it's pretty: certain that the Huskies have met stronger competition on this side of the pond than they'll encounter over yonder. Seattle will be the center of the sporting world next Friday night when she stages her first big title bout in the manly art of fisticuffs* All attention will turn to the North­ west to await the outcome of the Steele-Risko fight—the battle for the world's middleweight title. Which all leads up to the apt ap­ pearance of Alla-Alla (pronounced Alla-Alla) the prophet, who boda- ciously predicts the following results oi future events: BOXINiG Freddie Steele to edge out Babe Risko in a close decision with the underated champ giving the local boy a real chance to go his limit.' Tony Canzoneri to decisively con­ vince Jimmy McLarnin that it is time to retire, when they meet in New York in August. James Braddeck to retain his title by whipping Maxie Schmeling in September. (I had no idea, along with millions of others, that Schmel­ ing would ever get to Braddock but I had a strange feeling in the back of my noodle that Braddock would do to Louis what Schmeling did, if and when they met. Maybe it was the Irish in me.) ROWING The Huskies have it all the way to Berlin and back. TENNIS Fred Perry and our two Helens for years to come. WRESTLING One brain crusher to win this week and his opponent to win the next time they meet. It's the only safe way to pick them. And now gazing far into the crys­ tal ball I foresee the following final outcome of the Coast League for 1936: Oakland. Los Angeles. , Seattle. Portland. (Who cares after that.)
