You know my opinion of female So

those who are in the prime Of manhood.

know that thore is now anything for the

Tho WincnoGtGY HCTgnal.

From The Tullalioma Guardian, 10Th in.t,l
The editor spent last Friday with the
teachers and students Of the Winchester
Normal, and spent it pleasantly and
proli'abIy. From 1870 II. M, when the
recitation Of tie teachers class began,
to the closing, AT 1870 p. m, it was Il
continual 90 all the time, and one is re-
minded Of II swarm Of bees or rather
several swarms at work in different
cells, all in sight, more tLan Of anything
else There are no droncs inside, and
We didn't have time TO look outside 70
see hos many dead ones were lying
around We had to be on tie alert
continually to keep from being shoYcd
outside oursclf mctapboricaiIy, Of
course-for the ever active principal
and live assistants, although never de-
waiting II minute Of time from their
programme, still kept a courteous look
out for our personal safety, and wc were
thus kept in line.
At Z Il. N. the regular exercises Of
the day are opened with singing and
prayer, and then the reciiations begin.
(Ihcrc is no studying Of lessons in
school hours-thcsc are all mastered
outsidc) We witnessed rccllations in
all the departments, but Of course
missed the others going on at the same
time in other rooms. With the space
at cur command We can give nothing
like II detail Of the work performed
Everything is systcmatizod, and at the
tap Of the bell every student is in his
place without the least confusion or
noise, and the Rotations 90 On Ike
clocE-work, And 1t is 30 dull, lircsome
work. Every student is on the qui
vlve, and it is Il prompt and corroctans-
wcr or down you go, excused" And
then it IS really charming to see the H.
tense interest manifested by each and
all. The mind is kept constantly on
the alert, and the fingers are shaking
vigorously in every direction, and woe
be to the unlucky wight, male or ic-
ialc-tor they are all togcthcr-who
is not prepared with a ready response.
We were delighted from beginning to
end, and the closing hour came before
we realized how long We had been pres,
ent.
The Normal now has a roll of $50
students, 300 Of whom were present on
Friday, and is added to daily. 1t is
the model school Of Tennessee. The
test is its unprecedented success so far
and its cycr-groNing popularity.
