We think you have something there, Doc. Is a couple of years of school teaching going? to do -that to us? You flag wavers had 'better get busy for there's a new group of "reds" "wandering over the campus-. . . and "we do mean the habitues of the swim­ ming pool! Here's to the new social commis-1 sioner for a good beginning with the theatre party. We were too busy "watching! the particularly good movie to do much estimating of numbers, "but we got the impression that there was a crowd, and that said crowd was enjoying itself. At last the old problem of quiet in the "libe" seems to be solved. We "haven't heard' the old cry "I cant study here because it's so noisy," yet. "A few of the old guard sit in a corner and try to takethe morgue-like chill off, but in vain. "If you can't Be tnore quiet, I shall have to ask you to leave" seems to be a thing of the past. * Much interest was aroused during spring quarter on the possibility of having a student lounge. The lounge committee started their plans at that time, and at present, these plans are being carried to a state of partial completion, although the lounge will be improved with each new allotment from the Student Body budget.' The room to be used for the lounge is the old art class room just east of the post office. There is a possibility that the small adjoining room will be used as the Student Body office. The color scheme chosen for the walls and ceiling is two shades of green with cream Venitian blinds. The furniture used will be light oak davenports and chairs with pillows in contrasting shades. There will be a •window, seat built under the semi-cir­ cular windows in the southeast corner of the room, and a long book and magazine shelf will be built on the south wall. Many of the organizations on the campus are contributing to the lounge fund, and the summer school budget has allotted $100 to the fund. With this financial aid, we hope to have the Student Lounge ready for use before the close of summer school. Because speech correction has be­ come so vitally important to the teachers and students in the public schools today, some attention should 'be called to the Speech Clinic conduct­ ed by Miss Ruth Beckey. This clinic is available to all persons with speech defects, and they are urged to report for treatment. The work started this summer by Miss Beckey will be con­ tinued in the fall by Mr. O. W. Nelson, who is to be added to our faculty.

Inasmuch as these people are teachers and preparing themselves further in the teaching profession, it is safe to assume that they are interested in teaching and in teacher training, and have definite ideas about both. We believe it would be of interest to those of us who are not finished with school and to the members of the faculty and the administrators of the school to hear what these ideas are. Wliy do you like or dislike teaching school? Did what you learn here help you in your first job? What has 10 hours of practice teaching done or not done for you? What classes that you took here have helped you the most ? Which have not helped you ? What changes would you suggest ? These are just a few things we would like to know about, and we invite you teachers who are back to use the pages of the CRIER to get off your chest what you might have been afraid to before you were graduated. We as­ sume you are interested in teaching and teaching prob­ lems and that that interest is strong enough to warrant action. We invite you to write and assure you that all let­ ters will be published. Address them to the Editor and drop them in the post office or the door of the CRIER office. *-• Some fellows may park their cars the1 dorms, 'But B31 Gregory parfes Ms cigar on the curb..

=iv .vs-K v.- THE CAMPUS CRIER •B' INTEREST "Poor Teachers Waste Money" Is Charge By G. T.. "It cannot be doubted that the popular heart of Washington is thor­ oughly wedded to the public school system as the best means of bringing: the elements of rudimentary education! to all the children of the state. The system is intended to give every child—-"whether he be hid away in the mountain fastnesses or far distant from the cities and towns or railroad,, in remote districts of the bunch grass legions, or at points difficult to ap­ proach along our sea coast—the privi­ lege of entering a school house to* re­ ceive the rudimentary instruction pro­ vided by the laws of our state. Established 18901 "The first Legislature of this state" moved nobly upon this line, and on March 28, 1890, the naw was approved which established the Washington State Normal School. . . . iS'ection one of said act read as follows: 'There shall be established in the city of El­ lensburg, County of Kittitas, a school, to be called the Washington State Normal 'School, for the purpose of training and educating of teachers in the. art of instruction and governing iii the public schools of the state." Such was the beginning of our alma mater as reported by the first C. W. &. E. catalog published in 1892. Sacred Book During the fall and winter quarters bf the current school year, the®fcrriter published through these columns a series of articles on the history of our institution.. No, attempt will! be made to repeat this series as it would: do doubt prove boring to the many students who. were here' during the regular school year,, and time does not permit the research necessary to Con­ tinue with the story during this short summer session. It has been our good fortune however to examine the first college catalog, to be published: by this institution, and a review of this sacred? book might be in order., (Most sacred i indeed if anyone , doubts its sacred- ness-,. let him but try to get ahold of • it.. It is perhaps the only copy of its kind iir existence and the powers that be gaurd it with an earnestness befit­ ting the original manuscript of the Constitution of the United States..)' Convincing The book appears to be as much of an instrument to convince the- public iat large that the Normal school was a desirable thing as it was to- entice thme students to enter it. It indulges in a lengthy discussion of the History of Normal Schools, Necessities of Normal Schools, Purposes of the Nor­ mal School, Normal School Develop­ ment, and The Relation of Normal School to the Public Schools. E. P.. Ferry was. listed as the Gov­ ernor of Washington, and R. B. Bryan was State (Superintendent of Public Instruction. W. R. Abrams, Dr. T.. J. Newland, and Fred W.

The first graduating class at the end of the year- 1891-2 had 13 members- There were,, during that same year,, 20 in the middle class, 24 in the- junior class,, and 28 unclassified students . Fifty-three names appeared on the roll of the practice school, conducted, in connection with: the Normal.. The- school year was- divided into, two parts.. The' first term- in: 1892: be­ gan ore September 5,. and the second! term was started on. January 30,. 1893.. Commencement for- that second year- was held on Jiune' l'5i. The classes were conducted ore the* fourth floor of the public school! building which- was- situ­ ated on the present site*, of the Wash­ ington School. Quoting again, front the: text,, "This school stands in the relation to the public school that the military and naval academies do toward the Army and the Navy respectively,, that pre­ pare the officers to command the troops and marines. The youngi men that go to West iPoint and Annapolis have no right to demand such training at the hands of the government, but c'? the government must have an effi­ cient Army, she may secure that only by training her commanders- Poor Teachers Waste Money "Thus the state may properly, yes, it must of necessity, support normal schools in order that it may command an efficient corps of teachers for her public schools., . . . Poor teachers waste money. .. . . It is true economy on the part of the state to prepare good teaching talent, to the end that her money for public instruction may not be wasted or better stated to the .end that it may be better utilized." Selection | With this philosophy in mind the Board of Regents each year would de­ termine what number of pupils would j be , admitted to the school^ and this number was apportioned among the counties of the state according to the •number of representatives in the said county,, to the State Legislature.. Teachers however could be selected from the state at large. Examinations The county superintendent and the- •county board of education would be­ fore the first of May each year,, hold a competitive examination for all the- jpersons desiring to become pupils in the State Normal 'Schools. A list was • made of the applicants thus examined and were recommended by the, county i superintendent in the order of their j standing in the examinations. This system of admitting students then had a great similarity to the sys­ tem now in use for the federal mili­ tary and naval academies. Further than this the applicant if a male must be at least 17 years of age and if a female at least 16 years of age. All applicants must have the recommer).- dation of the county suerintendent certifying to their good moral char­ acter and fitness to enter the Normal School. Each pupil upon entering was also required to* sign the following statement: "We hereby declare that our purp9se in entering the Washing­ ton State Normal School is to fit our­ selves for the profession of teaching in th£ public schools of this state." Course of Study The course of study, as outlined on the back pages of the volume, con­ tained such subjects as civil govern­ ment, algebra, arithmetic, grammar, composition and literary readings,' physiology, zoolotgjy, penmanship and drawing, reading and calisthenics, psychology, school law, history of education, teacher training practice, pedagogy, chemistry, geology,, U. S., history ? and elocution. . There was also the usual section describing the surrounding vicinity,, and the Ellensburg! Chamlber of Com­ merce seems to have been as enthusi­ astic as any present day group, of this sort, judging by the description of the- city which Is quoted as follows: "The city of Ellensburg lias, about oOQO inhabitants noted for their intel­ ligence, enterprise^, and moral char­ acter . . .

"The following! are samples of 19th century guidance for college students: 1. "Arrange your plans to begin with the first session and be found in the assembly room the first morning of the term. 2. "Come with the determination of giving yourself wholly to £he school work. . . . Expect to meet trials, diffi­ culties, and discouragements here, but. prepare to meet them with firmness and resolution, and they will soon dis­ appear. 3. "Remember that your progress will depend on yourself, and that there is no more a royal road to learning here than there is elsewheite." 4. "Do not think you can learn everything in one term. ... . The best results came from pu^usingi a few stu­ dies thoroughly While you cannot learn everything in one single term, | there are four things we wish you to leam, even while you are pursuing other studies, and these we wish you to. learn the first term.. . . . They are the lessons of attention,, concentration, how to study, and how to- recite." So, after all, don't be so discouraged you teachers who are back for the summer schools each year, you can't learn everything in one summer quar­ ter. •Xv Italian art valued at $30,000,000 lias been viewed by thousands at the California World's Fair, and will be seen by many more thou­ sands, for all of the fabulous col­ lection will remain on Treasure Island until the Exposition closes.

THE CAMPUS CRIER W E. A. OFFICERS HOLD TOWN HALL MEETING Joe'Chandler, assistant secretary of the W. E. A., outlined the purposes of this organization at a meeting of the student body, held in the College Au­ ditorium on Tuesday afternoon. The assembly hour was presided over by Mr. Barto, and opened with several vocal selections by F. Walter IEuffman. Mr. Huffman is a former member of the C. W. C. E. faculty, having served here, as director of •music, a short time ago. He was ac­ companied at the piano by Miss Davies. Mr. Chandler stated that the Wash­ ington Education Association's chief purpose and function is to do for the teachers what they cannot do for themselves individually. It conducts surveys in various fields such as teachers' salaries, teachers' load, teacher dismissal, and sick leave. It also attempts to develop the cultural opportunities of the teacher. The local units, he explained, are separate entities affiliated with the state-wide association. There is no attempt at forced affiliation. He con­ tended that unity comes through per­ suasion only. ' W. E. A. Journal He further stated that the organi­ zation discusses issues but does not "take sides on controversial issues. It .published a magazine, the W. E. A. Journal, which explains the functions' of the association. This publication, he pointed out, could not be an edu­ cational magazine, but should be used by the members of an organ for free expression of any views. G W. Vanhorn, of the W. E. A. board of directors, explained the me­ chanical organization, and spoke in detail on legislative matters which have been sponsored by this group. P. A. Wright, superintendent of schools at Snohomish, and president of the Department of Administrators and Supervisors, also gave a short talk. He pointed ou that the Depart­ ment of Administrators and Supervi­ sors was an organization within the W. EL A. and among the things it at­ tempted to do was to assist in the curriculum revision. They publish the Curriculum Journal in this connection. The meeting was conducted as a Town Hall feature, and after the reg­ ular speeches, there followed a series , of questions and answers. The ques­ tions as asked by the members of the student "body together with the an­ swers as given iby the Washington Education Association staff are as follows: Question—"Does the W. E. A. recognize, the lAmerdcarii Eederation of Teachers? and attempt to cooperate TERMINOLOGY (Continued from page 1) we won't be lost. Professor Stephens then stated that in the last few years there had been at least six different educational philosophies. He said that we should know the difference between education and training, remarking that we'train to adopt and educate to develop. tMr. Stephens took the opportunity to differ with Dr. William Ogburn, speaker of the Educational Confer­ ence, in that "I believe you can make a new social order." He then defined three terms—real­ ism, idealism, and pragmatism. Real­ ism is the assumption of the scientific world, governed by law. We must konw the laws or we get into trouble. A realist wants knowledge and facts taught in the schools. He added that •Dr. Ogburn was a realist. a Idealism believes in the individual. The end of life is individual develop­ ment and growth. The idealist teaches to inspire self-expression. "Half the teachers you meet are idealists," he stated. ' . Pragmatism is solving each prob­ lem, with the best means and best de­ vices at hand. The pragmatist uses facts, knowledge, etc., to solve prob­ lems. Progressive education is prag­ matic, he asserted. It is primarily bi­ ological, as the object is to meet and adopt to problems. The trouble is, he said, that it has been too biological. It has come to mean that might makes right. Every act we make must include not only ourselves, but everyone concerned. At the beginning of the assembly Miss Helen- Mason, accompanied by Miss Juanita-Davies, offered "Beloved, It Is Morning," a solo. Mr. Harold E. Barto was chairman of the assembly. CONSERVATION (Continued from Page 1) excursion, however, provides an op­ portunity to visit the forest with Pro­ fessor George Beck, the man most di­ rectly responsible for its development. The Plow That Broke The Plains, The River, and Winter Wonderland are the films that will be shown in the college auditorium, beginning at 2 o'clock. Films To Be Shown The Plow That Broke The Plains is considered America's first documen­ tary film. It shows through a suc­ cession of scenes shot in the Panhan­ dle of Texas, in Nebraska, Wyoming, Montana, and Oklahoma what has happened to the grasslands of the West at the hands of the plowman pioneers. The Mississippi Valley is the locale for The River. Location shots were filmed in 16 states of the Mississippi Basin, an area extending from the dusty plains of Montana to the tim­ bered tracts of the Blue Ridge from the stump-dotted fields of northern Minnesota to the cotton fields of Lousiana and containing the best and the worst of American agriculture. The River was given first award in the documentary class at the Venice" Exposition of Cinematographic Art last summer. Winter Wonderland, which has re­ ceived fine reception in eastern the­ atres, depicts winter sports and was made under the supervision of George E. Griffith of Portland, who makes the opening address of the three-day conference. College students and townspeople are invited to participate in these events and to attend all sessions of the conferenqe. ^ t h e r e ^ i s x n o r e a s o n Question! — "Who determines the pqlfcies of^ tHe*^W: EC A. ? ' •"/ " •Answer—"The delegates from .the local! units in session annually^ de­ termines the basic policies.

The executive board takes care ' of affairs between the board meet­ ings." _ Question—"How many are employ­ ed on the regular W- E. A. staff ?" Answer—""Five." ^ ^ W..E., A., i intend to/ do about teacher tenure ?M Answer—"The policy will not be determined until the legislative body has met, but the executive committee 1 is making surveys of teacher turn­ overs, etc. There must be more active support by the teachers themselves before this can be put over."
