We welcome another country in the suit coat of: democracy. We in America shall watch with doubled interest ita gropings toward a more convincing test of the democratic experiment. Coming at the time it is, a time in which, even, established democracies are treading water , Ireland is a chal­ lenge and a hope. Ireland is Irish with her thumb to her nose at British protection. I am not an alarmist, yet I watch. America and see spots of Fascism. In Seattle there was re­ cently formed an avowed Nazi group, the 'SSLversfairts. In 'Seattle at the last German day festival, one-fourth of. those present gave the Nazi salute. Portland, Ore., had its own -Jewish •boycott. My Grandma always said, "One bad apple could spoil a whole ibarreL"' We've more than one bad apple. Belle MeKensie in her report to. the National Council of English Teachers blue penciled the dangers of dictatorship in the school on the part of the teacher. We can't run democ­ racy without making, judgments, we have to practice every day. Every time a teacher makes a decision foe a pupil, he cuts down, just that much on that child's ability to make- good and certain, decisions- for himself. En­ lightened selection is the key to suc­ cessful democracy. SPEECH CLINK JULY 28 Dr. C. R. Strother of XL of W. Heads Clinic was- the second anni­ versary of the Spanish War. No one doubts that Italy is doing her share m prolonging this war. 'For the last two weeks Italian newspapers have been boasting of Italian planes sink­ ing 18' British ships in 19 days. After the British-Italian confab, the Fascist attitude has been modified. Mussolini : advised his Spanish friends to respect r the. Union Jack on the high sea3, and : to designate three ports in [Leftist • Spain where honest traffic in goods under the international flag will be respected. That was last week. There have been no more ships bombed,, no more Eves lost. * * * This, Fascism has appeared in the western: hemisphere, not in the imagi­ nation of alarmist prophets, but in the actual openly acknowledged event.. Most, recently, last Armistice Day,, the papers carried the fact of the Brazil­ ian establishment of a corporate state under dictatorial authority and the abolition of parliamentary bodies elected by the people. You and I know how German Fascism has murdered and destroyed. And where is Schau- scimigg ? We know Italian fascism has conquered her place in the African sunr how Japanese militarism fights her' undeclared war in China. We know that fascist countries everywhere de­ stroy civil liberties within their bor­ ders and ignore international law be­ yond them. We believe that one of the most sensitive instruments of the. national l£Ee is the writer. Assuming this, the book recently got out by the League of American Writers is worth noticing. "Writers Take\SSdes," on the question: Are you for or against Franco and fascism, are you for or against the legal government and the people of republican Spain? * * * in order to get a reasonably broad representation of their opinion the same letter was sent to a thousand prominent writers in all parts of the iirf-i-r Jcr. • Preparations for the University of Washington traveling speech clinic, under the direction of Dr. C. R. Stro­ ther, are progressing fast. More than 25 cases from this county, and over 10 from Yakima County have been contacted by the Welfare Office staffs who are preparing the necessary case histories. It is hoped that there will be up­ wards of 55 records in all, ready to send to the University by the week­ end, in order that the clinic may select good demonstration material from the points of view of variety of type, severity, and age. It is hoped that one or more spastic cases will be chosen for the clinic, as well as a cleft- palate retraining pro/blem. The State Orthopedic Hospital gives excellent service all over the state ih such matters as the necessary opera­ tions to correct a cleft-palate condi­ tion. However, without a special re­ training program, a child with such a structurally corrected palate will con­ tinue to speak in his old indistinct habits.. Two such cases have been found in this area. The actual procedure at the clinic next Thursday afternoon, July 28,. in the Edison 'School Building, will in­ clude Audiometer tests for hearing, articulation and voice tests and analy­ sis, and inspection for organic dis­ orders or abnormalities helping, to cause the speech difficulty. The brief social histories will include available information about parental and teach­ er attitude toward the disability, as well as the child's own feeling and at­ titude toward his difficulty. From thia background, retraining procedure, changes in the child's environment or routine, or other appropriate advice 'wall be given to child, teacher and par­ ents attending the: clinic. The cases will then be discussed for the benefit of the observers. All teachers, parents, school admin­ istrators, college students* and other workers with children in Kittitas and Yakima counties are welcome at the Speech Clinic demonstration. MeConnell Describes New Training School in Detail BUILDING WILL HAVE ALL MODERN GADGETS NEEDED IN A SCHOOL WAYNE HERTZ B SNYDER'S PLACE Prepared To Teach. Voice, Piano and Music Education DAVISON PLEASES STUDENT BODY Miss Stropes again made the en­ trance of the student body into the auditorium less tedious by playing se­ lections on the organ. Mr. Barto then made announcements relative to changes .in schedule, applications for graduation, and remedial courses.. A very talented young lady then gave us a violin solo accompanied by Miss Davies on the piano. This young lady, Anka .Marie Morovak, played Felix Borowski's selection Adoration,, and played it beautifully.. For a girl her age, she handles the violin Eke a master.. Then Mr . Frank Drake Davison gave a talk on Modern Biography:: The Art: of Making Gossip- Respectable- He discussed great biographers, their works and their style. He stated that modem biography did three revolu­ tionary things: 1st, it adopts the style of the novelist, artist and poet in that it tries to paint a complete picture of the man or woman and reconstruct life and audiences. The first of the so- called modern biographers, or, rather, the ancestor of the modem biographer was the debunking biographer. This type of writer saw only the spot3 on the character of the subject and then tried to prove that those spots were the essential part of the character of Mr. Wayne S.. Hertz of Aurora, Il­ linois, will succeed Hartley D.. Snyder, who has: resigned to accept a profes­ sorship of music education at the Uni­ versity of Arizona, as chairman of the Department of Music beginning with the autumn term,. President Robert E.. MeConnell announced.. Mr. Hertz is a graduate of the University of Illinois and holds the master's degree in music education from Northwestern Uni­ versity where he majored ih voice. President MeConnell describes him as a young man with a strong personali­ ty and a good tenor voice. In addition to singing, Mr. Hertz, is prepared to. teach wind instruments, jand he also plays the piano. He has had teaching experience in elementary and high schools. While he was a stu- dient at the University of Illinois, he was a member of the University Band, the Men's Glee Club, the Male Quar­ tet, and the Choral Society. He has been tenor soloist ih sevaral church choirs and for three years has been a choir director^ in a large- church in Au- rorav During the summers of 1986 and 1937, he was director of music at College Camp, Wisconsin, and in 1931, he won second place in the Illinois State Atwater-Kent contest. His wife is a graduate of North Dakota State College and the American Conserva­ tory of Music in Chicago. Mr., and Mrs. H^ttz have a. baby cpaefi born the second week in June..

ELIZABETH ARfEN DtJ B ARY - LUCIEN LE LONG - LENTHERIC TOILETRIES 4 4 W aE the time, energy and talent expended in the pro-- daction of war materials were expended in the production of food and clothing, there would be such a tremendous over-production of food and clothing that more people Would freeze and starve to death than possibly could be1 killed in the biggest war. If heaven answered all the prayers of the farmers for bountiful crops, there would be such an appalling over­ production of farm produce that nothing would be left but plowing under praying farmers. If all the twelve million unemployed were given jobs, the twelve million now employed would lose theirs. If somebody invented automatic machines that turned out automatic machines which made everything auto­ matically, everybody would be out of work and die auto­ matically. If medical science reached the point where nobody got sick any more, all the doctors would starve to death. If medical science eould double the life span, there would arise such keen competition among undertakers, grave diggers and tombstone makers that they would have to kill each other in. order to stay in business. If all car-owners observed all traffic signs and safety regulations, so few cars would be smashed that even Henry Ford would have to apply for relief. If all the germs, microbes, bugs, beetles and pests that destroy men, beasts and crops were exterminated, the earth would be so littoed up-with goods and men that the amy way folks could make a living would be by eating each other.

THE CAMPUS CRIER Department B SOMES BOOKS, FOR SUMMER Reviewed by Mrs. Holmes Writing a ibook review on a" warm, leisurely summer day is almost as much of a task as reading a book . One goes at it by fits and starts, and ends, at last, with a series of yawns and quotations. But even so, there- are several new books which make rather light summer reading,. Fashion Is Spinach, by Elizabeth was reviewed at an evening lecture this spring. It is an amusing account by an American designer of the. women's clothing industry. As one critic sum sit up "All the dirt on female fashions which nobody ought to know and everybody is actually panting, for. No man will sleep well of nights for a week after reading the inside on dress markups, and Miss Hawes' colleagues in trade are report­ ed to be running up a little gold lame rope suitable for lynching purposes." Miss Hawes, as the title of her book indicates, does not hold fashion in. very high regard. She says: "Manufacturing clothes is the sec­ ond largest business in the United States. Not one-half of 1 percent: of the population can have itsv clothing made to order—or wants to for that matter. "This means that a portion of $2,- 656,242,000 changes hands annually under the eye 6f that thief, fashion, who becomes more and more deformed with practice. Fashion is a parasite on style. Without style, he wouldn't exist, but what he does to it is no­ body's business. "Fashion is that horrid little man with an evil eye who tells you that your last winter's coat may be in per­ fect physical condition, but you can't wear it. You can't wear it because it has a belt and this year 'we are not showing belts.' "Fashion gets up those perfectly ghastly ideas, such as accessories should match, and proceeds to give you shoes, gloves, bag, and hat all in the same hideous shade of kelly green which he insists is chic this season whether it turns you yellow or not. Fashion is apt to insist one year that yon are nobody if you wear flat heels, and .then turn right around and-throw, thousands of them in your face. •' "Fashion persuades millions of women that comfort and good lines are not all they should ask in clothes. Fashion swings the female population this way. and that through the magic expression that 'they are wearing such and such this season and you must do likewise or be ostracised. "One of the most fascinating things about the world of fashion is that practically no one knows who inhabits it or why it exists. There are a few people who know how it works, but they won't tell. So it just goes on getting in deeper and deeper, until something like a war or the depres­ sion slows it up from time to time. But once the war or the depression lets up, off again goes fashion on its mad way." * * -» .Then, with the Sino-Japanese' con­ flict still dragging along, there are two books on or about things Chinese which are available at our library One is Retreat of the West" toy" No- Yong Park. 'Mr. Barto ( as well as the library) possesses a copy. Mr. Barto's is-an autographed copy, in fact., One must accept Chinese autographs on faith, but once past that interesting hyroglyphic all is intelligible enough. One can nobly stax*t the book and drop it if it seems too dry. In his own words, Mr. No-Yong Park's thesis is expressed thus: "Far away in the northwestern cor­ ner of China a flat-faced and a flat- footed yellow man started a fire, a forest fire. It burned and burned for many centuries and into many coun­ tries . it burned eastward .to the shores of the Pacific and westward to the shores of the Atlantic. While the fire w§s still raging a pale-faced and^hol- ' %m«m-*r$se out lllllllllfII IIIIHmitlllM»IMIIMIHIII.M«IM««|Sg ruined debris of Europe he picked up a spark and- rekindled- theifire ih his backyard. It burned and burned for many centuries and into many contin­ ents. While the flames were sweep­ ing the shores of the Western Pacific, a short-legged and square-shouldered' yellow man arose in self-defense and started a backfire with such vigor and speed that it is now driving back the flames of the white man whence they had come." The foregoing is the genesis of the present volume. It attempts to . ex­ plain how the. yellow, man arose,, how he expanded, how he conquered and reconquered Europe and Asia, and then how he fell and sank into an abyss. It then attempts to narrate how the white man arose, how he drove the Asiatic invaders out of his home base, how he conquered and oc­ cupied three-fifths of the entire glofbe, and then how and why he is Ibeing ex­ pelled from Eastern Asia. * * # Then" there is~ Master Kung by Carl Crow who gives us rather simply and unpedantically, the life of Confucius'. He explains, Confucius' name by say­ ing that "Kung the Tail" (Confucius' father), named the child( about 551 B. C.) after the name of the hill where he was born. Thus he was called "Kung" Fu-tze," but the early Portu- "guese Jesuits who. as. missionaries to China in later years learned his name, tried to express it by means of Latin: alphabet, and arrived at the name , "Confucius.'' Hie. is, however., known in China to this day (according to Mr. Crow) as "Master Kung." • * * ! M\ich the most enjoyable of the list is a book on farm life in Ohio, recom­ mended by 'Mr. Smyser. The title is R. F. D. and the author, Charles Allen Smart. The book is an account of a modern "return of the native" with his wife, Peggy, to the ancestral farm in Ohio. 'Mr. Smart, an ex-teachex and journalist, inherited the farm from his aunt. He and Peggy and an assorted menage of cocker spaniels, shepherd collies, colored hired man, sheep, truck, et cetera, have a gay time establishing, themselves. The book is written with unusual, grace and candor, and although the. author ^depicts -the dark side - of thei farm, and admits its economic perils, still the story is fairly enticing as a brief for country life (especially if one- has any other income besides that from the farm). It gains its appeal, probably^ from an abundance of homely details, fa­ miliar to everyone, and from those, universal human aspects which the au-r thor loves to report. But it has an appeal also baset} on. his evidently honest enthusiasm for the land and for farming and for sim­ ple folk and simple pleasures. Quite naturally, the author's own account of his book, in the preface, gives us the best description. He says: "This book is intended to be a pic­ ture of life on a farm in southern Ohio in the 1930s. "As a writer temporarily absorbed in a personal adventure, I have had to use the handiest models that were of interest to me therefore, the farm is mine, and the central! human figures are my wife and: myself . .-,. "I am: a rather ordinary young man, in his thirties,, who, after printing, publishing, literary hack-work novels writing, wandering, loafing and? teach­ ing, went to live on a farm, and got married. I was a fairly typical, urban intellectual and malcontent of the twenties, and I am now merely doing those things that millions of other Americans are doing without fuss and feathers, and without, writing books about themselves." There are manly other enjoyable passages, among them: "Now this old house, in its 97 years, has seen a good deal of eating, drink­ ing, sleeping, working, laughing, talk­ ing, listening, dancing, scheming, quarreling, love-making, child-tbear- ing, teaching,, sickening, dying, and weeping. It has also known empti­ ness, and silence, except for banging shutters, insects, and rats. Which is one reason I like best the remark of our friend Miss Mary Yates Bell, "It's a sweet old house, and I'm glad you're living .in it." And although I detest ancestor- worship, and various other forms of misplaced pride, and rhetoric, there is a poem by A. MacLeith that speaks to me. It is called "iMen," and the last line is: • " 'We have lived a long time in the land and with honor'." And again: "Getting acquainted with your wife or husband, when she or he has been drawn for you from a deck of several thousand cards, and' you have sub­ mitted to her or to him. as one submits to an anaesthetic, is a little difficult under any circumstances. Those that we encountered made the process quicker, but not easier. . . . "All the Rowans had dressed, and were in a hurry, but characteristically Fad time to turn the bathroom and the best bedroom over to us, and to supply us quickly with tall, stiff drinks of hot whiskey. They are Roman Catholics, and hope, I suppose for rewards here­ after. If anyone is rewarded, they will be. I hope that on some night when it is cold in Heaven, and their wings are frozen, someone will send us to them from Hell, bearing hot water, towels, and hot drinks. ... "Another pair of friends, of our own age, are Clive, the newspaper man, union leader, and ex-cowiboy, and his unique wife, who both have that ulti­ mate sophistication of simplicity and candor." But the whole book is worth read­ ing—either poring, over it word for •word or lazily skimming through and picking out choice bits here and there.

At the Blossom Ball, if you were among the lucky ones that attended. To sweet music, fur­ nished by Keith Gould and his orches­ tra, we waltzed, trotted and, toward the end, dragged. It was a hot eve­ ning, but a little cooperation from the weather man (brought us a cooling breeze. Lovely decorations (well, anyway ,the furniture was pushed !back) and delicious punch (not a paid advertise­ ment) gave a feeling of pleasant in­ formality seldom achieved at any for­ mal. Joe Chiotti, A'SB president, and "Tiny" McLeod, social commissioner, were in charge of the affair. They appointed committees and in general helped around. Annie Clark and Zola Long had charge of the punch, recep­ tion and various and sundry other jobs. Programs carrying out the flower motif were made under the direction of Louise Perrault and Lois Jean Ol­ son. They were rather bookish affairs made of photography paper and had a sketch of an old-fashioned bouquet of flowers on the cover that practic­ ally made our hay-fever sufferers sneeze. Clever quotations that were almost insulting at times if you took them the wrong way were used to mark each dance. We could go into what people wore, but that isn't our job, so we'll just say that the gals looked swell in whatever they wore and the guys looked hot in as little as they could wear and still be respectable^ Patrons and patronesses for the af­ fair were Dr. and Mrs. McConnell, Mx*. and Mrs. Holmes Mr. Chiotti and Miss Lehman.

This will be in conjunction with the Speech Clinic which will be held here during: that week. Professor Strother, from the University of Washington, is head of the traveling {Speech Clinic of that college. Throughout the year the clinic travels over the state, giving ad­ vice as to the remedial work which the backward child needs. This is the only trip that the clinic will take this summer. John Steinbeck, etc... a motley crew, but united in this one belief. Rock­ well Kent said, "Those in the world today who don't stand on the side of the workers are either fools or scoun­ drels. Most likely both." We are not sure just how much that means but it shows a strength of feeling. # * • In a recent letter, Genevieve Tag- gart, the poet, stated her position more rationally, "I am against fascism, not merely because of its military frightfulness in Spain, but because by quiet insidious "conversations" and dictatorial deals, it works constantly to bring the darkness of slavery to the population of the entire planet. I am for the working class because it can defeat fascism." * * * But as Bugs Bear said the other morning, "Don't get worried as long as the Paul Reveres come by land or sea.

"Since devils are more interesting than angels," this biographer painted the picture of Florence Nightingale as a hussy with a good idea but who car­ ried it out only to heckle the strait- laced old-fashioned doctors in the British army. Biography of this type is not only highly imaginative, but it libels the character of the subject. One thing we particularly liked about Mr. Davison's talk was his thumbnail discussions of the biogra­ phies of famous men and women, his reading of parts of them, and his analysis of the whole situation. True, we didn't always agree with nim, but then that is to be expected. All in all, the assembly was interesting ancL to say the least, a bit of a relief. NEW TRAINING SCHOOL (Continued from Page 1) YESTERDAY, TODAY (Continued from tage 1) United States. The results of this survey are important. Thruout his­ tory the opinion of writers has been an accurate forecast of coming events, of the great changes in society. Thomas More in his Utopia, and other writers attacked the oppression of the feudal system long before a trium­ phant French revolution assured its end in Europe. John Milton worked for the democratic regime of Crom­ well—as a member of Cromwell's cab­ inet, he lent his prestige and aid as a propagandist to the people's govern­ ment. Germany burns books and exiles its- great writers, fascist nations gen­ erally fight to suppress their cultural and civilized heritage, but the march­ ing trends of history which the writers forsee are consistently realized. These writers opinions are important. Out of approximately 400 replies, 98 per cent favor the Loyalist Government and oppose Franco 1.75 per cent are neutral % of 1 per cent are pro- •Franco (one reply). Donald Ogden Stewert recently re­ ceived this telegram from Spain: "Recent heavy fighting Loyalist Spain many ambulances captured or destroyed by bombs stop Many Span­ iards and three thousand American volunteers fighting for ideals dear all of us severely handicapped want of transportation carry wounded from front to hospitals behind lines stop In heroic back to wall defense which Spanish republic now making in hope saving any suffering which relatively small sacrifice from us can avoid stop .This critical hour in world struggle Patronize Our Advertisers ATTENTION!

For the upper grades, lockers will be recessed into the corridor walls. On the second floor, there will be five classroom suites, an arts and crafts room, a science room, a library, a museum, and a student teacher workroom, and a dining room with an adjoining kitchen. On each floor there is an office for a supervisor, and in each suite there is an office for the critic teacher. The museum adjoins the library as well as opening into the corridor, therefore making it very ac­ cessible. Tho library arranged to hold 5000 books. The building will be heated from the central heating plant and will bp ventilated by means of a central fan system operated electrically.

"The architect will have all plans and specifications ready so that the board of trustees can advertise for bids within two weeks," President Mc- Connell reported. PWA. regulations ask that the advertisements run for three weeks. Therefore, President McConnell estimates that construction will start on or about the first of Sep­ tember and that it will require nine or ten months to complete the building. Therefore, it will be ready for occu­ pancy for the 1939 session. | Drink Bottled j COCA-COLA fSody-Licious Beverage Co. f 0 uwim«miiiimiimiiiKmniiiiu.iMmnim«m»mawniriniCT 1 West Dependable Stores!
