tutnon.
The Wayne normal school Is the
work of its president, j. NJ. Pile.
Through personal effort, unceasing at
tention to detail and with a spirit that
was in harmony with the aim and
temperament of the north-state people
he built up college that belongs both
to him and to north Nebraska. Wayne
normal is part of north Nebraska
through the north Nebraska students
who attend it and through the Wayne
graduates who have spread over the
north section of the state in following
up their life work
In sixteen years the history of the
Wayne school has been written; it is
a story of growth from a small begin.

prosperous proportions that the capa-
city of two large recitation buildings
and five dormitories are taxed.
The attendance at the Wayne nor
NAL now numbers about $50 students.
There are over hundred members in
the graduating classes in the teachers
and the scientific departments.
About three-fourths of the students
are preparing to teach. OF the other
fourth a majority are in the business
department The music, elocution and
shorthand departments are popular.
At the normal you find classes vary

and lecture room. The eight buildings
are heated by hot water plant. The
buildings and grounds are lighted by
electricity A college dining hall seats
500 boarders.

bers. The courses will be opened for
the summer term.
Wayne normal graduates have
spread all over north Nebraska and
southern South Dakota, where they
are teaching in town and country
school. Last summer principals went
out of the graduating class to Piiger,
Stuart Hay Springs, Decatur, Bell
wood, Anselmo, Allen, Elba, Elsie.
Harrison, Creston and other north Ne
braska towns.
The Wayne normal however isn't
altogether teacher factory. Just
as the normal department sends its
graduates into the schools of the state
the business department sends its
graduates into the business world.
The Wayne Normal Is a school that
is in session forty.eight weeks in the
year and like most normal schools
permits pupils to enter at any time
Nearly 1900 students were said to
have enrolled last year.
A steady increase in attendance Is
expected. To this end improvements
are being made in the college, A new
recitation building, 7Ox9O feet and three
stories high, has been built at a cost
Of about $4,000.

LAFoLLETTE MEN WILL BOLT,

LAFOLLETTE MEN WILL BOLT.
The intimation comes from Lincoln,
where the Evening News and Frank
Harrison have been trying strenu-
ously to direct public sentiment to-
ward LaFollette for president, that in
case LaFollette does not secure the
Nebraska delegation his friends In the
state will bolt. The LaFolletteites
seem to be composed of the same
kind of people who have striven for
the past two years to turn republicans
into the democratic pasture, and really
it is not surprising that they should
now bolt the ticket if it is not made
according to plans and specifica-
lions furnished by them. The truth
is that the LaFollette men are forced

Omaha must feel proud Of its mayor.
When Dahlman went to New York to

OF them all.
