1t is not the peculiar characteristics

but his individual worth or the
amount of his brass.
Remember Prof. Swain's little talk
at the close Of the G physiology Fri
day. 1t was exceedingly good
and contained some sound advice.
Rev. DR.. Hall and Rev. West visited
general exercises Friday morning. DR..
Hall conducted general exercises,
reading in concert with the students
the 23d Psalm.
The geography classes today dis
cuSsed original questions by members

During the coming year perform for

Prof. Massey made an address last

teachers taking part in the S. G. ].

parade scheme and ais suggested
that the teachers should decorate the
county superintendent's Office and
appoint a committee TO meet strang-

manner proving to their friends that
the teachers appreciate their support.
Good plan.
For one month we have tried TO the
best of our ability, TO report the small
incidents that 90 to make up normal
life and have tried to make them in
telesting, 1t has been a pleasure to
us to perform this little task, and it
is with regret that we leave it. We
wish to thank those who have in any
way assisted US in collecting our notes.
May the n0rmals OF the future be as
interesting as that of the past, and
may all normal reporters be assisted
as cheerfully as we have been, and
now we bid you each and everyone
farewell,
The committee on resolutions re-
ported Friday morning, extending the
thanks and congratulations to Profs.
Massey, Butcher, Kelley, Wakefield

those who have entertained the nor.

vocal and instrumental; to the minis
ters Of the city who have kindly as
sisted in general exercises, and last
but not least, to Janitor Cockrell and
the city school board for their many
kindnesses and aids.
The Sumner County normal of 1900
is a thing OF the past. The teachers
have collected here from all parts Of
the county and from outside counties
and have spent month in refreshing
their brains, 10 gaining pew ideas
and in strengthening the position
they occupy. A month Of association
with these teachers has taught us
that there are many among US that are
worthy, exemplary young men and
women, and with proper effort may
stand in the foremost rank Of educa-
tors. Every teacher in Sumner coun-
ty should be proud OF their vocation,
as they are training the young minds
that in the future are destined TO
make Sumner county institutions
proud Of the people to whom their
life is devoted, and, last Of all. proud
Of old Sumner herself, the famous
wheat county Of Kansas, aye OF the
world.
