NORMAL NOTES
, W pupils this morning

No new pupils this morning,
 Prof. l.. E. Quinn. who will con- duct the Drew county normal this year, was a welcome visitor this morning.
 The rural teachers. for whose ben eft the normal was instituted. are not taking the interest they should. Every one has ample means of knowing the law regarding the at- tendance of teachers, and we hope the teachers from the rural districts will come out and correct the erro- neous opinion that they are lacking in proficiency and afraid to face the light.
 Prof. Dovne is q reasonable man. but the law says the license of teach CTS, not attending, are revoked, and Prof. Doyne will be doing nothing but his duty to recommend that the license of every teacher be cancelled who has aot attended or been ex- cused. Come out teachers. Let us make Jefferson county's normal one of the best in the state. We have the tinber, and we have in Prof. Doyne one of the best instructors in the state, and let us do our part.
