The Summer Normal at the Univer-
sity will begin Wednesday, June 18th,
and continue four weeks, with every
facility for comfort, enjoyment and
instruction. The best talent will be
employed in the corps of instructors
and courses will cover all departments
of public school work, giving ample
and thorough review for teachers who
may take examinations for State
license at the close of the Normal.
Also, beginning at the same time, the
six-weeks Summer Term of the Uni
versity will be in session, affording
unusual opportunities in the higher
branches and meeting the wants of
teachers who aspire after professional
license. Let allteachers OF Lafayette
County attend the Normal and also
take such University work as may be
possible. Remember, the higher your
attainments the more your services
will be worth and sc far as the School
law will allow, l shall discriminate in
favor of scholarship and competency

TRUE SUCCESS.

The closing exercises of the
several educational institutions OF
our classic city, means the send
ing OF scores of young men and
young women iuto the business
and professional world, to make
practical application OF the theo.
r1es and ideas they have assiml-
lated. From those sent forth
from the same classes, armed,
seemingly, with the same advan-
lages, and surrounded by the same
environment, the world Will re
ceive both leaders in progress and
utter failures.
1t is true, that coy maiden, OPP.
portuni.y, will play an important
part in what similarly equipped
men and women achieve, but that
depends upon how she is met.
She must be captured face to face,
or she swiftly passes by; and as
some one has aptly said, "she has
no back hair"
But ever though opportunity
be grasped by the forelock, her
captor may prove a signal failure,
if he aspires to nothing more than
a mere living. This he will pr0D'
ably get, but nothing MORE.
The getting OF money, for the
Injuries it brings, regardless OF
how it is acquired, may be the
goal sought by others, and may
be won, but the best part OF life
is left out. Higher aspirations, no
bier Notwithstanding above
mere living and accommodating
money, is necessary for genuine
success. 1t is the value that a
we'll equipped, intelligent man is
to humanity, and his capacity fol
usefulness, that makes him truly
great. He who works and lives
for selfish interests only, stamps
his life with failure from start Il
finish. The graduate of 1902 has
the grandest opportunities before
him ever offered to the youth o.
any age, and happy is he who de
cides to give the world his best.
