THE SUMNER NORMAL
The Attendance Is Large and Good
Results are Being Attained.

A reporter for this paper yester-
day afternoon visited the Elisha
varro summer normal which is
being conducted at Trinity Uni
versity and found an even one hun
dred young men and women deeply
engaged in the arduous task of solv-
ing intricate problems in mathemat-
les and delving into scientific propo-
sitions.
The second week Of the normal
which closed today was marked by
a considerable increase in attend
ance over the first week, the names
OF one hundred teachers having been
registered with bright indications
for a larger attendance next week.
forty-two are from Navarro county.
1t is noticeable that the male teach
ers are very much in the minority
ia this normal The young ladies
are much in evidence, many Of them
being IN their teens and just cut Of
some high school where they gradu-
ated last spring. OF this latter
class only few will make applica.
tioa for certificates to teach school.
They are merely taking the normal
course for the benefits and advan-
tages 10 be derived from associating
with teachers Of experience and
studying under men of high intel
lectual Attachments The attend
ance is far in excess Of that Of any
previous normal taught In Ellis
county and good results are being
accomplished. Those taking the
normal course are not here for the
purpose Of spending their time on
frivolous things but are working
like Trojans. Every minute of their
time is being profitably improved.
The normal is being conducted by
Prof. G.. b. Winn, the efficient prin-
cipal of the eWaxahachie high school.
Prof. 5, l.. Hornbeak Ia instructiug
large class in science. Prof. Cogh-
Ian of Midlothian has charge Of the
department Of mathematics, Prof.
NJ orris of Rice teaches EnRlish and
Prof, Howard is instructor in his
tory. These men were selected for
their peculiar fitness for impartng
thorough instruction in these differ
ent branches. The teachers have
free access to the apparatus in the
laboratory IN Trinity University,
which has been very helpful to them
in the study of science, physics and
anatomy.
The normal will close July 3 with
an examination lasting through
three days.
