The plans for the Tube Works have
been received and adopted, and there
is no doubt about the location of the
works here. The plans were made by
an architect in Waterbury, Conn. The
building will be SO by $50 feet, with a
brick stack IS to SO feet in height. 1t
will present a fine appearance, being
located in a new part of the town
with view unobstructed. 1t will be
diagonally across the canal from the
Electric Light Works. This enter
prise will employ men, most of whom
will be skilled workmen, and this will
bring many new families to town.
There will soon be a demand for
houses, as there is scarcely a vacant
house in town.

NORMAL SCHOOL NOTES.

The new term has opened very
auspiciously, with about three hundred
in attendance. The number of board.
ers is greater than last term by about
fifteen. On the ladies' side of the
dormitory, there are only five rooms
unoccupied, while four rooms hereto.
fore not in use have been filled with
students. So that if the additional
rooms had not been used there would
now be about one room vacant. On
the gentlemen's side there is only one
vacant room.
The trustees have decided to cut up
into students rooms the space hereto
fore used for other purposes and thus
provide for the large number of STU
dents that have signifed their inten-
ton to come in March. According to
indications the numbers in the Spring
will be overwhelming.
The fact is that the strong additions
just made to an already strong faculty,
coupled with what the trustees have
done in more thoroughly equipping the
school, has placed the institution on
such firm footing that people who
want to educate their children can't
find a school where greater advantages
are offered at such low rates. While
new teachers, new appliances, new de
partments and additional comforts
have been added to the school, the
rates have actually been lowered.
Vice Principal Coughlin has taken
his place in the faculty and seems to
enjoy his work as much as his work is
enjoyed by the pupils If he can find
a suitable house, it is his desire to
move his family to Bloomsbury soon.
Miss Perley, the new model school
teacher, has already shown herself to
be a master teacher. She seems to
understand child nature, and mind de-
velopment.
The Principal is busy from morning
till night with his constantly increas-
ing correspondence. Rooms are rapid
ly being engaged by mail for the Spring
term, and there are quite number
engaged for next September. He
writes as many as thirty letters day
sometimes. He is at work also upon
his new book on Primary Grammar
He is to deliver a lecture at Millville
on Saturday evening of this week.
Mrs. Welsh will go to Jenkintown,
near Philadelphia, in few weeks to
give an evenings reading. She was
there about one year ago, and was
liked SO we'll that she is called back
this year.
The seniors will take their final
examination in Psychology under Prof.
Welsh next Monday and Tuesday.
Skating was good last week and
every student that could muster pair
of skates, and many that couldn't,
flocked TO the race near the furnace to
enjoy that exhilarating sport.
