The Normal now in session at
Penn college under the supervision
of Supt. Dodds is one of the most
interesting ever held in the county.
Everything has been done to make it
equal to the best. A corps of excel
lent instructors have been secured
and several new features introduced.
Those attending are responding we'll
to the efforts that have been made
and the work is progressing very sue
cessfully.
Some of the departments have be-
come very popular and numbers
have come to take special work. So
many are desiring to take physical
culture that Mrs. Tucker, under
whose supervision the work is done,
is having all she can do and is about
the busiest person connected with
| the Normal
| The enrolment was pushed up a
notch this morning by the addition
| of many new names and is now up
| to that Of former years.
| The chapel exercises are a great
| attraction and numbers of visitors
are always present. The music is a
| special feature of these gatherings
and is much appreciated. This
morning those present were treated
to a couple of violin and piano duets
by Mr.. Chas. Thomas, the leader OF
| the orchestra in the Grand theatre
Of Dubuque, and Miss Lillian Hughes
of this city. Mr.. Thomas playing is
marvellous and his rendering of Schu,
| bert's "Serenade" and "Adieu" were
enthusiastically encored. Two other
musical numbers that were especial
ly we'll received were the solos
Happy Days" and Cradle Song,
by Miss Harriet Hibbs, accompanied
BY Mr. Thomas on the violin. Her
rich contralto voice was heard to
good advantage in these songs.
Among the visitors at chapel this
morning were G. w. Shockley, A. l.
Shangle and sister, Mrs. Jackson
Mrs. Elizabeth McCready and daugh
ter, Miss Floy, Moan Dow, Harry
Douglas, Misses Martha Clayton
