Editor Democrat Star
Much has been said, much written and
much thought about what we are doing here,
but the "half has not yet been told" and it is
not within my power to better portray the
proceedings of Lake Normal. Our faculty is
composed of six members, and ranks with the
best that as ever assembled in Mississippi
halls of learning.
Prof. Rose, our director, is one of the wisest
and best conductors that ever held an lnsti-
tute. Under his management it could not fail
to be a complete success. All puzzled by
clearly elucidated by Profs. Hardy and Du-
pree. Prof. Lipscomb is equally well qualif-
ed to explain everything pertaining to gram
matical usage and when and how to teach
grammar. Miss Galatians special work
was appreciated and all were completely cap
tivated by the Word Method and everything
taught by the gifted Miss Holman, of Birm-
ingham.
Everyone who has been here will leave hav-
ing gathered some "pearls of wisdom and
having also spent a very pleasant time while
learning the newest and best methods OF
teaching.
No teacher could well afford to lose the
rare opportunities here enjoyed by all who
come, to benefit the youth Of our land b,
learning how to instruct those to whom the,
may hereafter act as teachers.
Hon. j. r. Preston was with us a week ant
won for himself golden opinions of all thu
teachers in whom he manifested so great Al
interest. When we again assemble our mum
Der will doubtless be ten-fold greater, fol
those who are now among the absentees will
r%eslize what they now lose, and will be anon,

swell herself to becoming proportions by
