News From Peru Normal

PERU, Neb., Oct. 6.-(Special. )-J. d.
Calhoun, formerly Of Lincoln, visited Peru
yesterday. He spoke at the con~vocation
hour on the subject, Our Educational
Growth" In closing he said: "I was in
Peru forty years ago. Since then the
school has grown twentyfold. 1 predict 1t
will grow tenfold more In the next forty
years. This means tina we are pioneers in
educational work and have a wonderful
opportunity to perform a valuable service
to society by making our work here of the
very highest Standards"
This years senior class, of which Prof.
C. +. Beck is the adviser, has bought and
is having placed in the normal chapel a
large statue Of Horace Mann, the founder
OF normal schools in America.
Miss L. Nemaha Clark OF Auburn. one
OF the most prominent members of last
years graduating class and one of the
strongest graduates of the Normal, was
visiting in Peru yesterday. Miss Clark is
a candidate for county superintendent.
Prof. Brownelrs text pooh on expert
mental chemistry is now In print and is
being used by the classes in chemistry in
the Normal. Many OF the high schools
throughout the state are also using this
text. Other members of the Normal fac
ulty who ave recently written books are
as follows: President ]. w. Crabtree,
school Management Prof. J. NJ. Howe,
plane Geometry Prof. F. NJ. Gregg,
Manual Of Parliamentary Law"
On inquiry it has been found that 100 OF
the students Of the present body in the
university are Peru graduates, showing
that there is a strong tendency for the
Normal graduates to continue their edu-
cation. This is largely due to the move
ment started by President Crabtree sew
eral years g to harmonize the require
ments OF the normal schools with those OF
the universities. The movement is now
becoming quite general, having permeated
the educational systems OF several states.
