of this county. From Topeka he went

Normal Notes.
Since our last report we have listen
ed to Miss Clark's lecture on Persia.
Those normaiites who failed to attend
that lecture lost an excellent Opportu-
nity to secure valuable information
concerning the manners, customs and
laws of the people of that country.
We observed the familiar face OF
Miss Anna Vezie i'm the Institute. She
was accompanied by Miss Stella Davis
The old teachers who have graced
the Institute by their presence were
Mrs. Divilbiss, Mrs. A. A. Jones (nee
MarshalD, VIM. Robinson, Prof. III. e.
Ford (now of Parsons), and Miss Vezie
There may have been others present
If so we failed to see them.
Quite number of visitors have en-
couraged us by attending the classes
Would that more might do likewise
You are all welcome.
II is currently reported that in hi:
"talk on ice," Sup't. Barber actually
talked one of the nOrmalites to sleep.
/ A double quartet of singers has beel
selected to head the Normal music.
If you want to learn our mother
tongue, come and join our grammar
classes, conducted by Prof. Estey.
/. Mr.. Wishard is keeping up his ole
time enthusiasm in history, constitu
ton and physiology, while Mr.. Mylel
Is filling us full of the history of edu
cation, didactlcs and photography
Not being in any other classes we ar
not able to speak personally concern
ing the work accomplished, but be
lieve the interest is not allowed to la:
in the least. We understand that tn
botany class has grown from six t
twenty-five, which speaks well for Mr.
Adams.
The kindergarten and the classes II
reading are working assiduously, an'
no doubt are doing good work.
We learn that Mr.. Adams induces
Mr.. Wishard to leave his "beatel
path" on last Tuesday evening, and a
result he was not himself in his wOrl
on Wednesday. Mr.. Adams, yo1
ought not to lead Bro. w. out of hi
accustomed walks, rs too much de
pends upon his being at himself during
the recitations. We know If your at
tention is called to the matter you vii
, not do so again.
