Ar THE NORMAL SCHOOL

Today those who are ambitious to
shorten their course AT the state normal

larger than last year
Formerly all those who desired TO enter
were forced TO appear at the school and
take the examination; but now they en-
ter upon certificate unless they wish TO
take the shorter course.
Twenty five showed this desire this
morning by reporting TO Principal Chaplin

who are TO enter will take the longer
course that Principal Chaplin could not
state definitely just the number to be
enrolled on Monday.
