NEW WORK STARTED
BY NORMAL SCHOOL
First of Series of Meetings by
Extension Department is
Held Here
(School Correspondent

koCuOOl contemporary
At the high school building Tuesday
evening there was held the first Of a
series of meetings planned for by the
Ellensburg Normal school under the
provisions of the law passed by the
last legislature for extension work by
the normal schools. There were pres
emit all of the teachers Of the local
schools and number Of the ladies of
the town who are interested in psy-
chology and child study, the topic of
the meeting being physical and psy-
Geological diagnosis of children. Miss
Grupe, the head of the department of
Psychology at the Ellensburg Normal,
gave a most interesting lecture in
which the course for the twelve meet
ings was outlined, something Of the
history of physical and mental dag
nosis was given, and the future pos
sibilities of such work in its relation
to the determination Of mental capac-
tiles of children and their vocational
abilities was touched upon.
Wednesday morning Miss Grippe
spent in the Washington building
where she examined some of the lower
grade children and illustrated for the
teachers some of the PORTS dealt with
in the lecture of the previous evening.
There are three centers for this
extension work in Benton county, Ken
newick, Richland and Prosser. Meet
ings will be held at each place every
two weeks, the course being given
credit at the normal school on the
same basis as other work. 1t was ex-
pected by the proponents of this meas
ure in the last legislature that work
of this character would eventually re-
place the annual teachers institute.
A charge Of five dollars for the entire
course is made to defray the expenses
Of the instructor. Those taking the
course during the present year at Ken
newick will include the teachers and
q number of those present at the first
meeting. Visitors will be welcome at
all the meetings, which will be an
in advance. The next meet
ing will take place the evening OF

The reclamation service has not yet
made public any statement regarding
its plans in connection with the ex-
tension but it is now certain, even if
construction were commenced this
winter, that the extension will not be
built in time for use next year. This
means that in dealing with their ir-

consideration entirely the Sunnyside

Warned HostiIities May Be-
gin Within Few Hours.
CONGRESS- WILL MEET APRIL 2
President Wilson Advances Date for
Extra Session Two Weeks-Quick
Action Is Expected.

Washington, March 22.-The posi-
bility that Germany may anticipate
any move by the United States in this
direction by declaration of war on
the United States is forecast in Ber-
lin advices to the effect that in Ber-
lin the belief is current that a state
of war with the United States will be
an accomplished fact within forty
eight hours.
The calling of congress in special
session on April 2, two weeks in adj
vance of the original call, constitutes
momentous occurrence which over
shadows all other news connected
with the war. President Wilson has
summoned congress to deal with
grave questions of national policy
The President is expected to declare
that state of war has existed with
Germany for some time and also it is
expected that congress will declare a
state of war to exist and give the
President authority to use the armed
forces of the country.
Journalists Warned.
London, March 22-According to
private kilograms from Berlin to the
Amsterdam Bourst, it is expected that
state of war with the United States
will be an accomplished fact within
forty-eight hours, says a dispatch to
the Exchange Telegraph from Amster-
dam. American journalists in Ber-
Iin,' the dispatch adds, "have been
warned to this effect by the foreign
Office
Washington, March 22.-President
Wilson today met the constantly in
creasing proba bility of war with Ger
many by summoning congress to as
semble in executive session Monday,
April 1.-TWO weeks earlier than the
date he had chosen before the latest
assaults upon American rights on the
seas.
When the President addresses con-
gress he is expected to show how
state of war actually has existed for
some time because of the unlawful
aggressions of German submarines.
A Technical Declaration.
Congress is expected formally to
declare state of war existing, vote a
large sum, probably s500,000,000 for
national defese, and clothe the Presi-
dent with authority to use the armed
forces of the United States. as it en-
powered President Mckinley to deal
with the menace of Spain in 1898.
Such action would not be declara-
ton of war except in technical
sense, and whether the United States
and Germany actually go to war in
the fullest acceptation of the term
will depend on what the imperial gov
eminent does before congress is as
sembled or after it acts.
Dispatches from abroad tonight de-
c1aring that the German government
expected a state of war within the
next forty-eight hours, placed an ON
inous aspect on the situation.
