Supt. Arnold of this city, visited the
Norton institute last Friday They
found Supt. Cutter and his corps of as
SiStantS very busy and doing excellent
work. While the attendance is not as
large as it should be, yet those present
are busily engaged in their studies
and will be well repaid for their efforts
to make themselves more efficient In |
their school work A very enjoyable |
time was had and these young men |
came away with pleasant memories of |
the Norton institute. One great adj
vantage the teachers of Norton coun-
ty have is the new high school build
Ing which has just been completed |
and is occupied by the institute for
the first time. The building is very
conveniently arranged and is one of
The best equipped high school build,

county needs county high school and
such building very badly.
