He /; wants something for Bellingham out of this legislature, ) and unless the rest of the legislators watch him, he'll get it. His latest proposal is to permit the state normal School at Bellingham to give bachelor of arts degrees. The present state law permits only the state college and university to do this. Well, why not let the normal school give degrees? Here’s the reason: The instant that is permitted the normal school ceases + to be a normal school for the training of teachers, and becomes a university. That has happened in other states. ? If the normals are given that one concession they will 4 go out after students and get them. Then they'll come ' to the legislature and demand more and more cash. a They'll be full-fledged universities in a mighty short time. | We have two state universities in this state now. And - they cost plenty of money. We don’t need any more, That's why the normal schools and Senator Cleary should be turned down hard. * ans @ Tennessee hunter claims he strangled a wildest.

This is a big racial movement. But it is as a small ereek to a giant river, compared with the huge multitudes that will abandon Europe and move to other countries within the next two decades.
