MANY STUDENTS AT NORMAL
Some Inconvenience Felt From Einans
cial Standpoint, But Attend
ance Is Heavy.

The Monmouth Normal School, ac-
cording to the reports of Professor
A. F. Campbell, Of the department of
history aud mathematics of that lnsti-
tuition, is in good condition and there
is promise Of most successful year
from an educational standpoint.
There is a vast increase in the regis
tration and the school opened OF Sep
tember 26 with the largest list Of pupils
in its history. Although somewhat
handicapped for operating expenses
on account OF the referendum move
ment against the general appropria-
ton bill, Professor Campbell says
the institution is securing sufficient
money on which to operate and with
out the slightest trouble, although
inconvenient.
'In some respects" said Professor
Campbell, "the referendum has been
a benefit to the Monmouth normal
When l say this, I have particular
reference to the attendance, the great
increase in which for this year is for
the most part due to the filing Of those
petitions. The referendum had the
effect of bringing about the abandon
ment Of the Weston Normal and has
created feeling OF uncertainty as to
the ability Of one or both Of the other
two to keep up, with the result that
many of their former pupils are regis
tering at the Monmouth school. All
Of the pupils OF the Weston school
were sent to Monmouth and there will
be no less than 335 pupils in the latter
institution this year, as compared to
225 last year.
"In one respect in particular the
referendum has worked a hardship
on the school. We contemplated and
advertised in our last annual report
and pamphlet that we would put on
another course of study and, while we
intend to fulfill our promises in this
respect, we will be compelled to do it
at the time and expense Of the teachers
and faculty. This new course, which
will consist Of a higher course in
Latin, English and solid geometry,
and other studies, will place us on an
equal plane with the California insti-
tutions and will qualify our graduates
to enter any university without having
to pass an examination. We will
keep our word, but by doing so each
Of the instructors will be called upon
to take an additional class and thus
carry the course through.
"As to financing the institution, the
faculty or officers secure our money
from the banks by giving them a |
voucher to the effect that we have 80
much due US from the state for our
services. These are subject to 20 per
cent discount, but we trust the legis-
lature to recognize the obligation and |
make good the discount when the
deficiency is supplied. AS to the in
structors, they are the only ones that
are making the real sacrifice and |
taking the greater risk, as they are
giving their personal notes, which
must be redeemed some time-if not
by the Legislature, then they have to
get out and work to make it up. There
Is no telling where it may end, but
there is strong probability that it
will result in the concentrating of all
Of the normals into one institution,
but where that institution will be
located is a matter Of conjecture. -

SURPRISE THEIR TEACHER.

The pupils of the advanced grades of
the Beaver schools very pleasantly
surprised their teacher on Tuesday
evening of this week All arrange
ments for the surprise were made at
school but so quiet was the matter
kept that their teacher, Mrs. Hauser,
had no idea of their intentions until
the merry crowd of young people met
and went in body to her pleasant
rooms at the residence of L. l.. Floyd
Everybody was as quiet as mice until
the knock was made at the door and
responded to by Mrs Hauser, who sup
posed that some of her girls had come
to pay her a call and she invited them
kindly to Come in girls" The girls
did go in-and boys too-big, little and
middle sized until the room was filed
to overhowing with about forty happy
youngsters. 1t is needless to say that
Mrs. Hauser was speechless with sur
prise. The night being bright moon
light one, the time was delightfully."-
spent in outdoor games in which all
heartily participated. At the proper
hour refreshments which had been
previously prepared by the girls, were
served. The boys being less proficient
in the culinary art but not to be out
done by the girls, presented their
teacher with handsome purse as a
token of their love and respect. After
luncheon short time was spent in
listening to recitation end songs by
the school and others afterwhich all
went home happy in the thought that
they had surprised their teacher so
successfully.
The children were ably assisted in
their arrangements for the evening 10y
