Normal school Notes.


that of Miss Krarer-is now thing Of the
past, and the financial success of the un-
dertaking is fully assured.
Many expressions of entire satisfaction
have come to us, and all are loud in
their praises of the little lady from Green
land.
But good things go and come; one has
gone, and on the evening Of Saturday,
Nov. 90 there will come to US and the
people of our community, one of the finest
lectures they will be permitted to hear this
season.
Hon. r. G. Horr is one of the few men
who discuss the great Labor Question from
all its standponts, giving to both employer
and employee, all issues tina: justly belong
to them.
This lecture on Strikes. Strikers, and
People who get Struck should be heard
by every laboring man in Bloom sburg
1t is not discussion upon political
basis all, but plain, practical, common
sense talk with capitalist and labor 1t
abounds in the most caustic humor, and
yet wlthal, contains valuable lessons for
every one.
Season tickets for the remainder Of the
course, can be had at Denter g shoe store
for 81. 25.
Last week we enrolled Eve new students
and have now just about reached the three

Training on Saturday.
They visited the work shop and at once
said they wanted some.ot that work. In
deed the more one sees Of the nature of the
work. and the zeal with which the great
body of students enter into it, the more we
long holden to the direct benefits of this
now new branch of education.
One of ihe latest aud most popular NOV es
'on the hiD," is the centering of all the
libraries in one room. The Reading Room
has been handsomely shelved, and the
School library placed therein.
The Philo Society, acting in the same
line on last Saturday, brought their entire
library, consisting OF several hundred vol
umes of choice books into the library, aud
the Callepian society, it is expected, will
soon do like wise,
The bringing in of these books by the so
cieties, does in no way deprive them OF
| ownership. The books are theirs, but are
now placed where all students may bt
benefited. II is also the intention of th'
Principal, Professor Welsh, that all none
arising from the lecture course, OF eacl
equally divided between the societies to b
, expended in books.
The great number of callers who desire
to see the Principal, some members of the
Faculty, or some student friends, ha
necessitsted the putting IN of a system
of door-bells, from the main front doors.
This is a great convenience for both tn

Imagine the gratifaction OF the youn
ladies when they were most cordially n
ceived, and in every case, rewarded mo
handsomely. There has indeed, been n
"stint OF praise" for our large hearte
III Board, and the ladies say: every memb

s. We had no idea we would get so muc
money" The truth is, these generous r
