The Normal Exponent, the official maya
zine of the normal school, will not be issued
this month. The new management of the
little booklet tried the experiment this term
of levying assessments on the members oi
the student body for the defraying of the
publishers bill, instead of depending on the
old-fashioned and me-honored method
of looking to the subscription list for sup
port, and at the publication of the second
volume found themselves in debt. They
have decided to swallow their little dose of
discipline in business training with cheer
full smile this month, and, waving publica.
tion for once, come out with an extra bright
and breezy number with the first of the new
year.

The lecture course which has been in con-
temptation for some time by the student
organization of the normal school is now an
assured fact, and it is anticipated by both
faculty and pupils that much benefit will
result from the various opportunities which
the arranging of this course of helpful and
enjoyable entertainments will afford. Not
only will much beneficial inspiration be
gained from the excellent lectures which the
students will have an opportunity of hear
ing, but they will also gain practical expert
ence along lines of a business education.
President Pierce has given the enterprise
into the entire charge of the students, and
they will manage and be responsible for it's
conduct. A year ago such an
was made for the engaging of
the best speakers at minimum cost to the
pupils, but the faculty had charge of the
business end This year an advisory board,
of which President Pierce is chairman, has
been chosen from the faculty, to whom appl-
cation may be made for advice when neces-
sary.

disbursing of the funds. 1t is planned to
