Norm Al Notes.

Oioslhs OF che Normal Institute
l"S' inu .sday Witnessed one Of the
''O impressive closing exercises of a
county nofnal that it has been our
pleasure to attend The regular
normal programme was carried out
until the last hour when the institute
assembled in the auditorium. The
students and instructors had pur-
chased in the way of surprise a fine
chair for our beloved conductor. DR..
Williams.
Prof. Tomlin presented the chair in
his pleasing and characteristic way.
and in DR. Williams reply he ex-
pressed his feeling for the teachers of
Sumner and his belief in their future.
Our County Superintendent was
called upon, and he responded with
short speech just to the point,
showing his sympathy and interest in
each teacher Our Supt. has mani
tested his genial disposition and had
a kind word for each and all that
were fortunate enough to attend, and
we can safely say no superintendent
has had more respect shown him than
our present one. In the course of
his remarks he advocated a Christian
spirit for the coming campaign. and
we feel sure that he will lift the Office
above the crafty politicians Of the
times. Each of the instructors were
called upon and responded with many
kind words and suggestions for our
future, and last of all came the hand
shaking and bidding good bye till the
next normal, all prOnOuncing this
the best normal they ever attended.
Quite number enrolled from other
counties each Ofwhich spoke in glowing
terms of the normal and of the class
of teachers in Sumner Co. Let us
hope that each year we may have as
good an institute as this and if
possible a better one.
