We have waited long and in vain for
Jeames No. 2 to make himself heard, so
We will say something ourselves. The
lyceum here at Ivy is doing good work |;
during the winter We have had several
important questions debated, including
Woman Suffrage" The Tariff CUES

ment to ContrOll the Railroads" ETC..
We are having . regular Pennsylvania
winter in this part OF the county,
with about six inches OF snow on the
ground. We think that young Prob

fragments From the Normal.

RIDAfI ceD. 10, 1901
This morning 81 were absent from roll
call, leaving 23S students who were on
time. Some of the absentees are on the
sick list, some are detained for other
good reasons, and some were merely tar
dy.
Mr.. Phenis, of Eureka, an old student
OF the Normal, made US hasty visit on
Thursday.
Prof. Sogard gave the first year Nor
NAL geography class final examination
to-day. Those answering so per cent. of
the ques lions will be passed in geogra-
ply. To give our readers an idea of a
test examination, we will give the sub
stance of one question:
Locate the products of Russia, and
tell where they are marketed. 4 person
who can answer ten such questions, Sc
lected from terms work, without any
knowledge of the character of such
questions beforehand, must have a good
stock of geographical knowledge. Yet
Prof. Sogard expects a large majority OF
the class TO pass.
The class in teaching will, by Monday.
have completed full logical outline of
numbers. This work has taken some
time and thought, but We feel safe
in saying il has not been uninteresting
to the class.
Many live discussions were had, both
ladies and gentlemen showing the true
American spirit in this. The tenAcity
with which some held on to their opin-
ions showed some OF the old revolution
ary spirit, also. Il believe am right,
and will stick to it" is a noble senti-
mcnt, and was somewhat cherished dur
ing the preparation of this outline.
However, all agree. we believe, that the
class has done good work and now has
q valuable outline OF numbers,
The societies can boast of an interest
ing program and q good time ON last
night The exercises of the Lyceum
were especially good. THE Train to
Mauro," was acted with credit, to the
amusement of those present. Miss Esk-
ridge distinguished herself as pers0nator
of Mrs. Butiermilk. The discussion of
the question: Resolved, That intellect
is superior TO instinct" was discussed
with considerable force. The negative car
ried the victory. This society was fay
ored by the presence of msny visitors,
among whom were Gov. and Mrs Esk-
