with yalenciennes lace and insertion
are worn with wash dresses.
The pure white shirt waist is the
most universal feature of summer
dress. 1t is worn by women of every
social rank.
Very small empire fans are all the
vogue again, and they must be either
white incrusted with gold or of some
very bright color.

His preparation for the work of a teacher,

MONIES College. He has had experience in
both public and normal school work and is
consequently we'll qualified for the work he
has in hand. His department. is mathematics
and history. 1t is a pleasure to hear com
mendation of teachers work such as was
given by one member of Prof Bagge's class
in geometry. The pupil said that if it had
not been for Prof Bagge's kind assistance
in geometry the work would have been a
failure That the way in which almost every
other teacher deals with a class would have
brought absolute encouragement That has
just the right kind OF pedagogical principle.
Ihe great test of a teachers work is the sue
cess in helping those who have trouble with
the work and helping in the right way In
this, Denison Normal and Business COLLEGE
has been especially happy in the selection of
its faculty. Prof. Bagge has placed at the
service of the college valuable collection of
curios, which he secured in the East. This
adds much interest to his historical work. as
it brings out the reality Of the persons and
places mentioned in history which are apt to
seem unreal unless something tangible is
presented.
