The Emporia news. [volume] (Emporia, Kan.) 1859-1881, 1869-12-24
A ssBIG THING,

We intend to make our first number
in January ''big thing" for Emporia.
We intend to have our annual list OF
improvements for the year, list and
brief description of each business house,
with an estimate of the amount of BUSH
ness done, Col. Plumb's speech at the
railroad celebration, and hnpdred other
things we can't mention. No pains or
money will be spared to make it what it
ought to be-a paper which every citi-
zen will be willing to send to friends
East. The Emporia advertisements will
be feature-shOwing, as they do, the
hvest business town in the State. Would
1t not be good thing for our business
men each to have fifty or one hundred
copies of this edition to send to friends
East, and to hand to new customers
when they come into their stores. Ten
thousand of them ought to be circulated.
The Emporia news. [volume] (Emporia, Kan.) 1859-1881, 1869-12-24
EXAMINATIONS AT THE NORMAL
SCHOOL.

The people of Emporia perhaps share
more largely than those of any Other
community in Kansas, in that complex
feeling of pride, gratitude and affection
with which the State regards her Nor
NAL School. For this there is good
reason. This Institution has done much
for this place. Many of our best citi-
zens have made Emporia their home
who, had such a school been wanting,
could not have been persuaded to locate
here, despite the most formidable array
of inducements growing out of "good
water power" "beautiful country" and
prospective railroads, sure to come"
Many will still continue to come more
on account of this school than for any
reason. And it will not be denied that
those who are attracted here by reason
this school are ofthat class who bring
intelligence, and social and moral Gull
ture.
The examinations on Wednesday last
evinced hard study, during the term, on
the part of students and thorough in
struction on the part of teachers.
The recitations were conducted accord
ing to the "Topic method" Slips of
paper, containing the numbers l, 3, 3, &C.,
with the various topics suggesting the
salient points of the matter studied DUR
ing the term, are placed on a book, the
topics concealed from view, aud then
passed to the students, each of whom
draws one; when the number he has
6v-ov 60 L.
and recites what he knows of his topic.
This is, undoubtedly, the best method of
recitation, especially for advanced stu
dents.
We witnessed the examination of five
or six different classes and we believe
there was not q single total failure in
any students recitation. In most in
stances, the topics were rendered in a
manner that must have been most salts
factory to tho teachers, showing an al
most perfect familiarity with what they
had studied.
We were much pleased with the gym
nastic exercises as conducted by Mrs.
Gorham.
The school is in excellent hands. II
is doing noble work The attendance
of students is large, and is becoming
larger each succeeding term. Addi-
tional buildings will soon be required. |
1t has the beginning of what will some
day be large and handsome library.
It has begun the collection of mathe-
NAUTICAL astronomical and chemical APP
paratus. In short, il has facilities equal |
to those ofany other school in the State |
for giving the student a thorough Eng
fish education. lis intended to add to |
the school, at an early day, depart |
ment which shall afford instruction in |
the foreign languages, thus presenting
a curriculem equal to that of any east
crn college. This will be a wise step. |
There will then be no good reason why |
any Kansas student should go out of |
the State in order to obtain n thorough |
classical education.

Service commences on the Emporia
and Eureka mail route, on the first OF
January. This will be great accom-
mediation to the people of this vicinity.
Our readers will remember that service
was put on this route last July, but sus-
pended at the expiration of the month.
Efforts were at once made TO have it re-
stored by parties in this county, and al
30 at Emporia. Great credit is due to
Mrs. Trask, and Messrs. j. Stotler, CIV.
Eskridge and p. b. Plumb, for their aid
and infiueuce in this matter.-Eureka
Herald.
We may also say that credit is due TO
s. G. Mead, the editor of the Eureka
herald, for the final triumph in the fight
to get this route established and service
put upon It. Through the untiring eff
forts OF our Congressional delegation, it
has only taken obOut i've years to get it
done. We understand Mr.. w. D. God
frey, the contractor, will soon-put on q
hack 70 ran between here and Eureka.

Knowing Mr.. Lakin as we do. we
nave entire confidence in his represent
atoms. He would be more apt to put the
day of the completion of this important
road to this point too far off than too
near. 1t is now q matter of necessity
for the company to push their road to
the Neosho Valley in order to reap the
benefit Of the large freighting business
ofthis region ofcountry. This business
Is now all transferred to the Neosho Val
ley road, and it is fact that our people
are receiving their freights at consider
able discount on the rates by the A. T.
= s. F. to Burlingame and wagons from
there here. In order to do this business,
which is worth an extra effort to obtain.
and which the a. r. 81 S. F. road will
get SO soon as it is completed to Empo-
ria, the company will be very apt to
hurry their enterprise along with all
possible speed. Ifthe weather is favor
able during the remainder of the winter
and III the spring we predict that this
road will cross the Neosho before the

The Niagara Falls Gazette says it is
true that several of the guys of the new
Suspension Bridge were broken by the
gale on Wednesday, Nth, but travel was
not interrupted, and the damage has
been repaired. It mentions as worthy
of notice, that in every instance OF
breakage it was not the wire rope, but
the iron fastenings, that proved INSULT
cient in strength. The storm was fear
full. The bowling Of the wind, as it
came down the gorge of the river and
against the suspenders and other works
of the bridge, was terrific, the roar of
the cataract being tame In comparison.
