Normal Notes.

Wednesday morning the exercises
were conducted by Prof. Branard and
as the President was absent Vice Presi-
dent Mason had tull charge of the
school during the last of the week.
The CalisthenIc period was occupied in
reseatIng the students in the Chapel. |
Each division was seated in certain
part of the Chapel and were arranged
in the order Of their height, beginning |
with the shortest and ranging up to
the tallest The range between these
two individuals is wide one, but
we have failed to learn who they
are.
Revs. Mitchell and Russell were
present on Thursday and the devotion
al exercises We're conducted by Rev.
Russell.
On Friday morning at about II
clock Prof. Haynes of Boonville, who
had been delayed by the lateness of the
train. was introduced by Prof. Mason
and proceeded to deliver lecture from
manuscript. The lecture was most ex-
cellent IN that the matter was most en-
tertaining and important and lnstruc-
tive to all who expect to teach. The
subject of the lecture was the "Rela-
ton of Parents to Teacher" If the
parents of every community could
hear more such lectures we are sure
many-a burden would be removed from
the teacher. II is impossible to give
an outline but the lecture was full of
good points and highly appreciated.
Only one objection can be made against
it and that is that it was almost too
long. Misses Jayne, and White of the
Model came up with several pupils and
listened to the lecture. Also several
lady visitors were in attendance.
The new students are becoming ac-
customed to their surroundings. Mr.
4 Dinsmore Is giving them course IN
D calisthenics IN No. 20. The divisions
!. are nearly full now.

deau, who was Sect, met the commit

priations. The committee was quit,
J. favorable to their interests. He pro
ID nounces the present legislature a mos

perhaps, the state has ever had. H
alse mentions that Representative

S useful members of the House. Th

IN doubt a larger appropriation thai
as usual will be made.
X Monday evening was so cold and tn
Il. snow was 50 deep that the Presiden
:, dismissed the young men first and re
quested them to march in double fl
and scrape all the snow possible fror
nc the paths in order that the youn
OF ladies might have good walking. l
an ancient times big feet were regarded a
en- sign of:nobility, but those young me
re who could make the widest path wer
o. regarded as far abovs any noblemen.
no Monday evening and Tuesday morn
us ing must be regarded as being sxtren
or ly cold. The unusual coldness ef til
rooms caused the school 20 be dismisse,
but as some of the teachers were hear
to say "take the mex: six pages" an
la new lessons were assigned to all tt
e classes. it will not be much of a gain
