ranks since the fire-more than the
mum Der who have withdrawn on ac-
count of it.
notwithstanding the incOn-
veniences incident TO the recent mis-
fortune, the school is moving along
quite smoothly.
By the way. if environment has any
thing TO do with conduct there ought
certainly TO be good behaviour upon
the part OF the students and faculty.
Think of spending five days plus Sun
day in church.
The University plan Of study is
becoming quite popular among the
students. Permission is given the
students to seek comfortable quarters
for study and they need report only
at the openings and for recitations.
There has been considerable,
curiosity aroused upon the part of
some observers as TO the function of
what they term the two little
houses" in either end of the L. o. o.
p. hall Others have gazed wonder
ingly at the three links in large
form in the west end of the hail.
Several other things OF interest have
attracted attention all OF which will
be elucidated when;they become rood
Odd Fellows.
Yes, as usual there are numerous
volunteers now ready TO explain how
the fire might have been controlled.
1t is quite as strange why these sayers
did not volunteer a little help in
rescuing the property during the fire.
But then they had other things of
more importance In formulating
plans that shall preclude a repetition
OF such fire.
Only think OF it! One Normal stu |
dent has become fully convinced that |
if enough water had been poured |
upon the fire it would have been |
put out. Such prophetic vision is de-
serving of reward.
The noises of the hammers and saws
together with the first year music
class Rave not been conducive TO
study IN their immediate neighbor-
hood.
A wagon load OF text books was I'M
loaded Monday and they now are
Hastily arranged with their backs to
the audience and their faces pressed
against the air in dry goods boxes.
After waiting week TO see what
the developments would be, two stu
dents returned Monday only TO find
they had lost profitable weeks
WORK.
We note some new faces among the
students and they are not book agents
either.
The bulletin board announced the
recitations something IS follows not
long since:
Prof. - above
Prof. -- below.
Ditto marks were used in both
cases. Thus the fulfillment of the
prophecy, And the wheat shall be
separated from the chat" with the
further assignment OF eacn to his
place.
Pres Parker read several communi-
cations "Wednesday morning from
various quarters OF the state all
speaking words of sympathy and en-
Among the best was
one from Pres. Adams OF the State
University. DR.. Adams paid high
tribute to the Normal Schools and
said that although he had never visit
ed River Falls yet he had IL from good
authC 'Ity that the little city is an
ideal place for such an institution and
the citizens have demonstrated their
of the school by their CO.
operation with the faculty in the
maintenance OF the school under
adverse conditions. He referred TO
the loss OF Colleges, Universities and
Normal schools in other states and
said that without exception all these
have been rebuilt upon
the old sites. DR.. Adams sympathy
is with River Falls demand for the
rebuilding here.
Justin Hemenway has come TO the
rescue o. the Chemistry class and
loaned considerable apparatus. Judd"
is lust as free hearted as he is in
genious.
The new seats have been ordered
and Will be ready for use in another
week. President Parker says that
they are to grace the new building
next year.
Some OF the boys have taken "shots"
OF the Normal with their kodaks.
Raymond Ensign has some nice
pictures which be has been selling for
