sponse to the call for more board
ling places for the teachers. We
have places for all who will come,
good, comfortable places in nice
homes.
Some Of our local physicians
have consented to give the teach-
ers the benefit of their experience
and research along certain lines.
Dir. j. FL. johnson will present a
paper on the White Plague" "
Tuberculosis. Drs. Butler and
Wilson will pay their respects to
| the house-fiy. the mosquito, and
other such subjects more practical
than poetical, but mono the less
important.
The normal management had
arranged with Mrs. q. E. Conant
for a series of lectures, covering
some interesting phases and pc
riods of literature, but it is now
learned that Mrs. Conant's con-
tinued i'll health will prevent her
giving these lectures. This will
be decided loss, both to the
teachers and to others who would
have taken advantage of the OPP
portunity to hear this talented
lady.
Prof. e. r. Lloyd, head of the
department of agriculture in our
A. e NJ. College, will be present
the first week and will not only
instruct the class in agriculture,
but will give lecture at eleven
O'Clock each day which will be
of interest to the general public,
Especially the farmers.
While the normal is intended
primarily for teachers, there are
several features of it that will be
of interest to the public.
At eleven o'clock each day there
will be q general assembly of the
entire normal in the college ball
for a short devotional exercise
consisting of Scripture reading,
prayer and singing. This exer-
else will be conducted by the min
listers Of the city, in turn, with
Miss Jennie Vardeman as organ
list.
| At the close of this exercise,
which will consume about fifteen
minutes, there will usually be
lgiVen a lecture which will proha-
IDLY be interesting to all who at
Itend. During the first week of
the normal Prof. Lloyd will occu-
1 py this hour, while later there
Twill be iectufes by DR.. Cooper,
Dr. I. P. Bailey, Of the State
University, DIR. Greenwood of
Kansas City, Prof. Elicit of Blue
Mountain, Prof. Jacobs, and
others of note. The public is
Especially invited to be present at
these eleven O'Clock lecture pc
riods.
The regular class work will also
be open to visitors and it is quite
probable that many Of these reci-
Itation. lecture periods will prove
interesting to those who are not
teachers. The attention Of the
ladies is especially directed to
the primary and modei-class work
By Miss Kerr Of jackson, and to
Miss Powell's manual training
work.
There will probably be a few
normal lectures (fTee) in the
Opera House at night. The pay
Entertainments are not under the
auspices of the normal, but will
doubtless be largely patronized
and highly appreciated by the
teachers.
Each Thursday evening from
1880 to 10:30 will be reception
might for the teachers who board
lin the college. On other evenings
they will be busy studying, but
those who can spare the time will
make speclai arrangements to en-
ltertain their friends ON the east
cam pus up to ten O'clock, when
1.-THE weather permits.

to the teachers of the State that
