improvements have been made. IN
the building, the labratory has
been fully completed and furnished
and several hundred volumes have
been added to the reference and
miscellaneous library. The gov

of education, county superintend-

visited the school unite in pronoun-

walton has qualified them to Judge,
to none in the state. The com.
mercial department will be more
thoroughly organized than ever.
Typewriting, shorthand and book
keeping can be learned here as
thoroughly as anywhere else and
with less expense. Every de-

tinguished teachers of Delsarte in
the U. S., to give instruction in
reading, voice culture and physical
culture for four weeks in the early
part of next term. She will teach
each class in school 40 minutes a
day. The instruction will be alb
solutely free, the only expense be-
ing soc to each student for the
printed outline of the course. Mrs.
Preece has taught in SanFranC Cisco,
St. Paul, Cincinnati, Sioux City,
St. Louis, and other large cities Of

from the Voice Magazine:
Mrs. Preece is an enthusiastic
educator and holds a prominent
place as teacher and exponent of
d elsartian principles and move
ments; a culture she has acquired
under the leading Boston and New
York teachers of this new system
of elocution and gestures. She has
had widespread notice from the
press of the Northwest and all the
large Northern cities for good work
in the schools. Although possessed
of sufficient means to place her be-
yond any necessity for work in any
field, her love for her art is too
great to allow her to rest while
there is work to be done in inn
proving the voice, carriage, ease
and grace of her people.
"The voice of the people is the
voice of God" cannot be taken lit
orally when we recall the harsh,
nasal, snarling voices that so many
persons have. Love, sympathy,
majesty, godlike qualities, are not
expressed through the human voice
as a rule. That these qualities are
capable of cultivation in nearly
every voice is now accepted as an
axiom, and it is the province Of
elocution to restore these lost
chords, to re-tune the harp whose
strings are rusted and broken. As
an earnest worker in this broad
field Mrs. Preece is recognized as
a power by every one with whom
she comes in contact. Her work
in St. Louis before her marriage is
still felt"
