DEPARTMENT HEAD ASSISTS
IN MANUAL REVISION

Prof F. G. Chalfant, head of the
department of foreign languages,
was called to Seattle last week to
assist in the revision of the modern
language section of the state high
school manual, the third edition of
which is to be printed In April.
Hitherto the manual has contained
outline courses In French and Ger
man, but section for high school
Spanish courses will be added this
year and the departm ent of foreign
languages of the State College has
been requested to prepare the copy
for the manual.
While in Seattle, Prof Chalfant
visited many of the modern language
classes at the University of Washing
ton and also at three of the large
high schools in the city. He found
keen interest In the phonetic labor
atory Of the State College and the
unique system employed here and
states that several of the high school
language teachers of Seattle are

While the chairman and vice
chairman of the Red Cross organi-
cation are spending lonely after
moons at the local headquarters, try
ing single handed to reduce the mass
of work which is piling up many
women of Pullman are going to card
parties or enjoying other social &C
tivities without a thought of the re-
sponsibility which today rests upon
every patriotic citizen to contribute
something to the alienation of the
suffering of the people of Europe,
and to the preparation of hospital
soldiers, which, in all probability,
will soon be needed There is plenty
of room and material and work at
the Red Cross headquarters for
every woman in the city who is will
ing to give a little of her time to
the good cause. The headquarters
ought to be crowded every after
noon with workers, even ii the card
tables are deserted, and social func-
tons abandoned for the time being.
Thus far the women of Pullman have
failed dsmally to meet this test of
their patriotism and generosity.

If the members of the Whitman
county legislative delegation had not
displayed more interest in defending
the State College than the people of
Pullman manifested in the reception
arranged in honor of those legislat-
ors, the result of the educational
fight at Olympia would have been
entirely different. If the citizens of
Pullman do not feel enough graft
tude to take the trouble to even say
Thank you" to the men who fight
the battles of the college, they can
not expect these men to overwork
themselves in the future. The re-
ception Wednesday evening was ar
ranged to demonstrate to the visit
ing solons how deeply the residents
of this city appreciate their loyal
support of the college. It should
have been attended by every citizen.
But only a couple Of score Of towns
people were present, which suggests
very pertinent query: Are Pull
man people ungrateful or too indif-
ferent to express their gratitude?"
