Monmouth.

NipIllinniCdi''u.
The Normal school of Oregon is
situated at Monmouth, small town
twelve miles from Salem and seventy
from Portland. The Southern Pa
ellic narrow guage passes through
Monmouth. 1t is also connected
with independence, town two miles
distant, by motor line, by means of
which the trip can be made in five
minutes.
Monmouth is surrounded BY beau
tirul hills covered with forests of
pine and fir. On clear days charm
ing views may be obtained of Mt
Hood, Mt. Jefferson and the Three
Sisters in the distance.
Monmouth is essentially a town for
educational purposes, as the bust
ness portion is neither so large nor
80 energetic an Weiser. The town is
at present without hotel but ar
fragments are being made by which
it is hoped in the near future the
want will be supplied A good pub
he school, which employs three teach
ers, is maintained.
Although this is called the State
Normal school it has never received
aay pecuniary assistance from the
state There is bill pending in the
legislature at present making an APP
preparation for the school. II this
bill passes, the Normal school be-
comes n state institution. A com
nittee from the legislature has been
appointed to visit Monmouth next
week to inquire as to the location
and the financial condition of the
school, 1t is to be hoped that they
will make favorable report on their
return to the Legislative halls. This
Is the most prosperous year for the
college as there are two hundred and
ten students enrolled, four being
from Idaho, with representatives
from Washington and California.
The Normal building is of brick
containing ten rooms, with large
nall, besides the chapel which is ca
pable of seating eight hundred.
The faculty of the college consists of
five professors, one lady and four
gentleman, who are eminently well
fitted for the position they occupy.
Every morning the students meet
III their respective rooms at half past
eight; thence they march to the
chapel where there are short devo
tional exercises, after which one of
The faculty addresses the students on
subjects of general interest On
Friday morning the time usually al
iotted to the faculty is occupied by
the members of the Senior class.
Usually they have recitations or es-
says that are highly enjoyed by the
students if not by the seniors them
selves. During the past week the
seniors have been decorated with
knots of Grape. Upon inquiry it
was ascertained that all the members
had appeared once on the rostrum
and they were obliged to again UNI
