There are one hundred and ninety
nine that are safely enrolled at the
normal, "but one is out on the hills
away" far off from the gates Of prog
ress, enthusiasm and culture. We
must have two hundred and more be-
fore the close.
DR.. CarrS lecture was listened to by
very appreciative audience.
A great many of the students wit
messed the cornerstone laying of the
new NJ. e. church.
The reception given by the city
teachers and the Chanute high school
to the students was well attended and
hugely enjoyed by all. Mr.. Owens and
his helpers are adopts at making lem
| Onade.
Mr.. Sailors going to take list of
the tardy ones some morning when we
least expect it. If you expect your
pupils to be prompt you should set
the example. Watch these items for
the list.
Mr. Newell and Miss Emma Light
have mutually agreed to dissolve
partnership in book keeping. Mr..
Newell will continue and Miss Light
retire.
The cigarette habit and its twin
evil, intemperance, received hard
blow from Mrs. Grubb at-the opening
exercises. Mrs. Grubb is one of the
officers of the w. G. II. U. She i'm
pressed on the minds of the teachers
the necessity Of personal interest in
the morals and habits Of the children.
Her talk was endorsed and supple
mented by the Supt, and Mr.. Bowen.
Mr.. Sailors called the attention of the
students to the fact that some of them
had been seen smoking on the street
to and from the normal.
Orlin Balch enrolled this week. We
now expect to hear some real elo-
quence and oratory.
The Emporia students are inclined
to be clannish-but "birds Of a feath-
er," etc. They represent good col
lege and we wish there were more of
them.
Miss Edith Maclary, who is one CT
our best students, taught school in
the state of New York last year.
Mr.. Sailors says there are between
ninety and one-hundred who will take
| the county examination.
The songs sung at general exercise
are not familiar to near all of the stu
dents. We would suggest "America," "
Marching Through Georgia" and
Star Spangled Banner" as songs
hard to supplant in the teachers
| favor.
Mr.. Eaton is good student in all
his studies. He missed it little on
the "ham problem;" but he has a
graceful way of accepting criticism
that is admirable.
The bookkeeping class is the place
to demonstrate your ideas of business
and, business methods. Mr.. Elliott
holds his class we'll in hand-Stops
discussion when it amounts to moth
ing.
Why will some of our instructors
say "Where are we at?" and kindred
mistakes that they would crlticise in
their pupils?
| jim Reed says he knows something
about pi(e) but that he is not entirely
satisfied 1t would be hard to satisfy
him in that respect.
If you see a. carewOrn or hunted
look in the eyes of student you may
know that he is thinking of the eX-
animation. Some day they will be
relegated to the past for first grade
teacher, and he will stand on his
ability to teach, not to answer queS-
| tions.
That the normal is a success in
every respect all will have to admit
Those who have failed to attend are
losers. Their schools will suffer in
comparison with those who have at
tended. Next week we expect to see
members of school boards looking for
| live teachers. They will come to the
normal for that purpose.
