FORTY-TWO YEARS OF
HAPPY Welded LIFE
DIR. and Mrs. w. A. Spalding Sur
prised by Their Friends on Occa-
sion of Forty-second Wedding
Anniversary

DR.. and Mrs. w. A. Spalding were
happily surprised on last Saturday
evening when, upon returning from
the home of Max Hinrichs, where
they had been invited to partake of
a wedding dinner, they found
about a hundred of their friends
gathered in the church to felicitate
them on the rounding out of Az years
of married life. A short program
had been prepared, consisting OF
musical numbers by Mrs. ]. r. Ste
phenson and Mrs. C. G. Vincent and
short addresses by DIR. Holland, Mrs.
Kruegel and Mr. Hanna.
Mrs. Kruegel, on behalf of the as
sembled friends, presented the
bridal couple with handsome set Of
solid silver tableware. All the
ladies who were still able to wear
their wedding gowns had been asked
to do so. Three responded. Anoth-
er message from the past consisted OF
the projection of old-time photo
graphs of the guests. which called
forth many bursts of applause.
Needless to say, DR.. and Mrs.
Spalding's "reminiscences of pastoral
experiences through these more than
40 years were intensely interesting in
all present. We congratulate them
now, and, looking forward to the
time when they shall celebrate their
golden wedding, wish for them years
of mutual happiness beyond that
time.

RECORD YEAR FOR
PULLMAN SCHOOLS
Attendance Figures of First Two
Days Indicate Record Breaking
Fundamentally Mean New
Teacher

All records for enrolment in the
Pullman schools will be broken this
year if early figures can be taken as
a reliable criterion of total enroll.
ment. In the high school 2l0 stu
dents registered the forenoon of the
first day and by the second day this
figure was increased to 220. Last
year at the end of the first month.
the total enrolment was only 213.
From 10 to 5 more students are eX-
pected to enroll in the high school
during the next few days, which Will
bring the figures above the maximum
enrolment of last year. All the
classes in the high school are more
or less crowded and some shifting of
schedules has been necessary to take
care of the students, resulting in
some inconvenience to individuals.
The enrolment in the grades had
reached 521 Wednesday evening, as
against maximum registration of
537 last year, indicating a substan-
tial increase over last years figures.
1t may be necessary to open an addi-
tional room in the Franklin building
and employ another teacher to take
care of the overflow. Two classes
have already been sent to the Frank
lin building.
With mountaineering enrolment
and an excellent corps of admins
tratiye officers and teachers all indi-
cations point to a highly successful
year for the Pullman schools.

Service" at the physics lecture room.
los Mechanic Arts building, Mon
day, September u, at $500 o'clock
p. IN, All who are interested in the
broader aspects of engineering are
cordially invited to be present
For so years the engineering pro-
tessiOn has devoted its energies to
the single object of Harvesting the
forces of nature in the service Of
civilization. Engineers have been so
engrossed with applying the laws of
physics and mathematics that they
have found little time to devote to
simple problems of living. They
have built railroads, streets, dyna-
mos, flying machines and battleships
but they have given little thought to
the men who operate them and in
whose interest matter has been as
sembled and power utilized in new
forms. The new movement in the
profession, embodied in the Ameri-
can Association of Engineers, supple
ments the strictly technical efforts
of the past.
