THE NORMAL SCHOOL.
1t Opens With Over Five Hundred

1t Opens With Over Five Hundred
Pupils.
The Normal School opened for another
term this morning, and Principal Childs and
his assistants were busy people until this
f ternOOn. when the entire school machin-
cry was in successful operation.
In talk with Principal Chids it was
learned that 67 pupils were admitted upon
diplomas, without examination. This is an
unusually large number and sho VS. that the
county board has been more than usual y
active in preparing pupils for admission to
the Normal.
Out of the 100 pupils examined 46 only
were admitted. This is smaller percent
age than that of past years, and is due to
the fact that the standard for admisSi on has
been raised considerably.
From the training department thirty pupils
were admitted by promotion.
The old pupils have nearly all returned,
and it is estimated that the attendance to-day
is over 800
Besides that number there are 221 pupils
in the training department, and every seat
is taken.
No students will be received after to-day
This afternoon everything was running
having been made and the pupils pursuing
their studies with customary regularity.
The building is crowded and many will
have to be refused admission
At the next meeting of the legislature a
bill will be presented asking for an appro-
pration of S60,00 to build an addition to
the rear OF the present structure, one suit
able TO accommodate the entire training
department. Ii this building is erected the
training department will be entirely to itself
and not be scattered over the building as il
is at present.-San Jose Herald, Sept. I'd.

REGULATING PARTY PRINCIPLES.

The Emporia Republican 'has it in
for" the sugar industry in the United
States, and Kansas in particular, so
strong that it disregards precedent,
party principles and everything else in
trying to establish its illogical position.
In reply to a paragraph on the sugar
question that appeared in the EAGLE
day or two ago, in attempting a defense
OF its position the Republican says:
"Nine-tenths of the millions OF pounds of
sugar consumed in this state every year
is imported and duty of so per cent
paid on it. This duty is added to the
price and is paid by the Kansas man who
buys 1t at retail"
If that is true, then away goes the
theory that ''the import duty is not a
tax on the article imported, but is paid
by the foreign producer or importer and
does not affect the price to the consumer
here" We simply call the Republicans
attention to this slight discrepancy in
order that it may correct it Or explain it
away if it can: we cannot. The stock
argument that the Republican Will most
likely use in reply-if it replies-applies
just as strongly, in principle, to the
sugar industry as it does to any other,
anu our e. C. can't hedge on that plea.
