We regret to learn that no little sick
ness prevails in our school, Mumps,
measles and other ills, ''too numerous to
mention" appear to beset US. Miss

E. Creighton, Miss Whistler and Miss
Simpson have been Through the MILL"
but are now at their old places.
| Mr.. W. G. Stevenson, who left the
Normal shortly after vacation to take
charge of school In Eureka, has been
with US for the past week. The cordial
reception rendered him >cas very mark
ed, and his return to Eureka is is the
occasion of something mere than mere
| regret to at least :ene heart Were it
not for the Divine command, Thou
shalt not covet," we would be sorely
tempted to envy our old friend his ability
to draw friends unto himself

A packed house at the LYceum on las
evening, attest the high estimation II
! which our literary work Is held by tn
r Normal students and the citizens of tn,
city IN general. Selections were read b,
? Misses Rosa JOSS and Alfrett
: Judd. The former appealed t
j our sense of the ridiculous and the latte
= to our sense OF the serious. Miss Mar,
Hill rendered "Over the Hills to tn
Poor House." which, though old an'
worn almost threadbare, held the atten
Y ton of the audience to a dead calm.
The remarkable improvement in bot
voice culture and stage appearance @
persons who have just left the A class
= leads US to investigate its underIyIn
cause. We believe that the charge mus
