DR.. Taylor, president of the State
Normal at Emporia delivered his
lecture, ''The Graces, to a large audi
ence at the court house last Tuesday
evening. This was one of the best
lectures ever delivered in this county
and his hearers were all delighted.
| The speakers delivery was simple yet
very effective, his thoughts largely
original and clothed in beautiful lam
guage. Our Judgment is that the
State Normal at EmpOria is in good
hands and the faculty would probably
search a long time before they would
find an ADLER or better president than
DR.. Taylor.
The Normal institute which has
been in session for the past four weeks
has closed so far as institute work is
concerned. This has been one of the
most profitable sessions ever held in
the county and the interest has never
abated since the first day of the Ses-
sion. The enrolment was about sew
enty which we consider remarkable
under all the circumstances and GER
tainly shows that our teachers are not
behind in educational matters In
fact it only required visit to the
classes while they were at work to
convince us that the teachers of Trego
county are wide awake, intelligent,
alert, and as competent as they are
anywhere. TregO county has a right
to be proud of its teachers. Of the
faculty, PrOfs. Rose and NoWlin we
have heretofore spoken and we know
we voice the sentiment of every
teacher when we express the hope
| that we will have them with Us again
during the 1896 Normal. Supt. Pea
cock has attended nearly all the time
and has been untiring in his zeal to
make the Normal a success, and much
of the credit is due him. The citi-
ZenS of Wa-Keeney are approaching
these Normal Institutes more and
more every year. The obligations are
principally on our part and we have
especially appreciated the lectures
and entertainments provided for us
during this term. We would like to
have the professors and teachers with
us always, but this cannot be, and we
can only assure them a hearty well
come when they come again and we
will look forward to their next annual
meeting with pleasant anticipations.
