NORMAL SCHOOL OF NEW MEXICO,
LOCATED AT SILVER CITY.

sub, organizations, such as base ball,
basket ball and tennis clubs, are sub
ject to the general rules of the associa-
ton. Two tennis courts and basket
ball grounds are located near the
school. For match games of ball and
for field days they have the use of the
city Athletic park grounds, which Is
fenced and has a good grand stand.
From this 1t may be rightfully inferred
that the management of lne school en-
courages outdoor sports and games.
The basket ball girls played six
games with other girls during the sea-
son. From the games that were held
in Silver City $66 was cleared; $50 of
this sum was expended in fitting the
room above the office as a parlor and q
dressing room for the girls. On Feb
ruary 10 the football team gave an en-
northumberland and literary-at
which they cleared $50. This money
will be used in the purchase of foot
ball uniforms.
MANUAL TRAINING DEPARTMENT.

the school is quite thoroughly equip
ped and is doing good work. It was

On our trip to Silver City recently
we made a very pleasant visit to the
Normal school. Afte breakfastfng we
climbed the Normal hill and found the
president, Prof. G. M. Light. in his of
fee and were pleasantly entertained
by him, shown about the building, and
beheld the various classes at their
work. The time for the general exc
cises for the school having arrived we
we were invited into the assembly hall
where we listened to a Washington
birthday exercise of very unique char
ter. It seemed that the freshman class
had planned a surprise for the faculty
and the rest of the students. Someone
vas selected to i~mpersonate each mem
Der of the faculty. These assembled
early, and when the faculty appeared
on the scene they found their chairs
already occupied. Miss Minerva Taft
occupied the presidents chair and adj
mirably represented Prof. Light, es-
pecially in her lecture and announce

RELAY STATION.
Important Mid-Continent Quadruplex
Station at La Jupta.
THE TELEeRAPHIc DEPARTMENT.

Instead of having two relay stations
for its Chicago-Los Angeles telegraph
system, as at present, the Santa Fe VIII
take away the stations now located at
Topeka and Las Vegas. and establish
an important mid-continent quadruplex
relay station at La Junta, says the TO
peka State Journal. Quadruplex mes
sages will then be sent from Chicago
to the Pacific coast with only one re-
lay.
Another relay station will be select
ed to handle the Gulf line telegraph
business.
It is probable that an assistant sup
~erintendent of telegraph will be locat-
ed at La Junta and another on the Gulf
lines. There is eve a rumor that the
office Of the newly appointed super
intendent of telegraph, c. Fl. Gaut,
will be removed from Topeka to La
Junta.
This is part of the important plans
for the installation of quadruplex tele-
graphy on the whole Santa Fe system
from Chicago to the Pacific and from
Kansas City to the Gulf of Mexico.
1t is another big gain for La Junta,

when under the present Santa Fe man.
agement is being developed into the
most important Santa Fe town west of
Topeka.
The consolidation of the Topeka and
Las Vegas relay offices at La Junta
means the addition of a number of ex-
pert t~eiegraphers to the force at La
Junta. 1t means that La Junta will be
the most important telegraph station
on the Santa Fe. There are some San
ia Fe men who believe that it means
that the Santa Fe expects to remove
the headquarters of the new %superin-
tendent of telegraphs, c. III. Gaunt,
from Topeka to La Junta, but this ru-
NOR lacks confirmation. G. III. Gaunt
will be a system official, the same as
superintendent Sholes is, and it may
be deemed best by the chief officials
to have him located at the heart of his
territory. La Junta.
There is small probability that such
a move will be made for some time,
however. for If anything of the sort is
contemplated it is not likely to be done
until the proposed new Santa Fe Office
building at La Junta Is ready for occu-
pancy. Plans for this building are now
in process of compIoiLon, having been
subject to frequent revisions and
changes. The La Junta Office building
will be a large structure, capable OF
giving accommodation to an official
head for all of the various departments
of the Santa Fe.
If the Office of superintendent of tele-
graphs Is not removed to IA Junta, it
is believed very probable that an as
sistant superintendent of telegraphs
will be similar to that given to G. A.
Morse, the principal assistant engineer
of tie western grand division.
All these prospective changes are of
course to be decided Upon by the newly
appointed superintendent, c. II. Gaunt,
and the definite announcement of what
is to be done is not to be made public
except through him.
One other important relay office is to
be selected on the Gulf lines. The name
Of the town has not been given out. n
is said that the plan is to have another
assistant superintendent of telegraph
in charge of the Gulf Office.
A relay Office is an Office where
through kilograms are taken off the
wires by one set of operators, and re
sent by another set of telegraphers
They supplement the automatic repeat
ers located at intervals on the line
Through kilograms to Los Angeles. un
der the present system, are sent from
Chicago to Topeka, then resent to Las
Vegas. and Their again resent to Lo:
Angeles. When La Junta is made the
single relay station between Chicago
and the coast, one relay" will be saved
in the transmission.
1t will be- complete quadruplex sys
tenn from Chicago to the coast and t.
the gulf. 1t will necessitate a large in
crease in battery power and the string
ing of considerable new wire at certain
/. parts of the line which are now unable
to make room for handling the quadru
pick system.

We noticed many excellent features

space to a few of them.
THE NORMAL TRAINING SCHOOL
This is in a separate building, which
was erected last year. The rooms are
beautifully finished and furnished. A
pleasant change from the staring
whiteness usually found In schoolroom
is seen in the tinted walls and pressed
steel ceilings. The department con
sists of five classes, the kindergarten
connecting class. one, two and thre'
year primary grades. Each year a new
grade is added as the children are pro
NOTED to advanced grades, so that in {
short time the well equipped manua
training department, which now occu
pies one of the rooms, will be Obliged
to seek new quarters. These classes
serve a three-fold purpose. 1t is here
that the members of the training class
observe model lessons and study ma
terial. The latter tests the knowledge
gained in observation by actual!
teaching under the direction of thu
principal, and lastly, the department a.
a laboratory for the expression OF tn
newest thought along educationa
lines. Special attention is given L
the correlation of the hand work to tn
more formal studies. Many interesting
models are made by the pupils, provin

making of all articles have these two
motives which give the highest inter-
est to effort. Both boys and girls take
the same course.
LITERARY SOCIETIES.
The school has two literary societies,
the Literati and the Lyceum, which
serve good purposes. These are Great
ed for a triple purpose, a training in
parliamentary law, general and social
culture. The programs and meetings
are under the immediate supervision
of the principal and the teachers, and
are regarded as the legitimate work
of the school. Their meetings are held
every two weeks, the programs being
varied as much as possible. Grafton,
debates, declarations. readings, music
and entertainment of various charac-
ter are employed. Often a whole eve-
ming is given to Scott. Shakespeare.
the Indian, the Irish people, etc.
NUMBER OF PUPILS.
The number of pupils enrolled this
year, as shown by the secretary's re-
port to the governor, is 1876. and the
u ' ~ 10 ~
larger han any previous year. Five
counties of the territory are represent
ed and more than one-half of the pu-
pills are from other localities than Sill
yer City. The school has pee running
eight years and has graduated thirty
eight persons. The senior class of the
present year numbers thirteen, eleven
girls and two boys, the girls gradual.
ing from the professional and the boys
from the academic course. The names
of the graduates are as follows: Mary
Eckles. Edna Page. Kate Crawford,
Mary Gill. Mertie Williams. Pearl
Parks, Marie Tustin. Carrie Whitehill,
Elsie McGregor. Eta Schultz, Dean
Alexander and Eugene Cosgrove.
The corps of instructors of the Nor
NAL is exceptionally strong. No favor
itism has been shown in the selection
of any of the members of the faculty;
each was chosen solely upon his mer-
it's: each is not a specialist in his par.
ticular line but has had successful ex
perience in all classes of school work,
both in teaching and experimenting
schools. All are graduates of norma
schools and five have been trained IN
university work. With such teachers
as these the school is prepared to meei
it's particular wants and the needs o.
all who come fully under its influence
This is the important consideration il
every school. Magnificent buildings
costly apparatus and rich endowmen
are important elements in running
school, to be sure, but these are moth
ing when compared with good teachers
1t is a common thing to witness poo
teaching in our higher institutions, be
cause the professors are often NOR
valuable for their service to scienc,
than to teaching.
Upon the whole the Normal Is a yer,
c%reditable institution to the territor,
and we are certain it deserves tn.
strongest support and the most liberia
patronage of the people.
