American people for their greeting.

deeply moved by the reception given to
me. No man could receive such greet

very proud and very humble.
Il have been away year and a

strange and interesting things alike in
the heart of a frowning wilderness and
in the capitals of the mightiest and most
highly developed planes of civilized
nations. l have thoroughly enjoyed
myself, and now am more glad than |

NORMAL INSTITUTE
CLOSED ON TUESDAY
Number Enrolled Not so Large But
The Professional Spirit And
Enthusiasm Excellent.

The Normal Institute of 1910 closed
on Tuesday. While it was not so large
in numbers as in some other years, it
was one of the best from q professional
standpoint. The day has passed for
academic work alone in an institute or
in other words just a examining place
in order to obtain certificate. But it
is looked upon now as place for teach
ing teachers how to teach. The chief
object of such meeting should be to
give to the whole corps of teachers pro
fessional inspiration and uplift. Anoth-
er object is to give to the inexperienced
specific help and direction in the organ
iZation and management of a school and
in the fundamental principles of the
| best methods.
| While superintendent Griffin and
Lancelot and Miss Dora Larsen's work
was largely along academic lines they
kept the professional side ever in view
Miss Theo Vedder gave instruction in
music. Her work was highly appreci
ated by the Normal people. Mr.. Tav
enner Miss Bertha Caldwell, and Miss
Cora Steele gave instruction largely in
/ the professional lines of work Mr.
| Tavenner had charge of the classes in
! Nature Study and Agriculture, who is
an enthusiast in his line. 1t is wise
that this subject be placed in our Nor
NAL Institute. 1t gives teachers an OPP
portunity to prepare for subject that
is bound to force itself into the curricu
lum of our schools.

The Music Makers
MUSIC IN INTENSE ACTION

Action is the characteristic of the Music
Makers. They get busy with their programs
as beavers building dam. Their program
moves. a..
THERE ARE NO TIRESOME WAITS
At their appearance on the platform a
treat opens. They are full bill to the last
encore. They make classics popular. Their
rollicking effusions are also rendered with
musicianship They please widely and fully.
Comedy encores with action--real musical
hits--classy vocal solos, stories in verse and
song" were invented by The Music Makers.
They are universally popular.
But that Marimbaphone Band, in such
selections as Poet and Peasant" or THE
Light Cavalry" is a genuine sensation. The
harmony is bewitching.
Everything is set agog by the rhythmic
swing of the Music Makers in action. They
capture the people at once and make multi
tudes of friends everywhere. They will fill
a big place on our Chautauqua programs.
