NORMAL SPRING
TERN IS OPENED
Special to the journal.


Tallahassee, Feb. 25.-The normal
spring term opened Tuesday morning
at the College for Women, with about
dozen new students present. Unlike
the students of the regular academic
department, the normal students are
not always prompt in arriving, conse-
quently every day this week has
brought an added number to increase
the roll.
There were no special exercises to
mark the occasion, only as it happened
also to be Washlngton's birthday, pa
triotic songs were sung in chapel, and
the kindergarten children celebrated
with appropriate songs and games.
The domestic art department pre-
scented the appearance of busy hive
of workers, and the many finished gar
ments, together with the many more
in process of making, showed that no
idle moments were INDUCED in by the
girls who are taking this course. Miss
Halle Lewis, director of this depart
ment, was indeed a happy choice, and
wonderful progress has been made in
this department since she took charge
at the beginning of the present term.
The work of Miss Harris, director of
the classes of the domestic science de-
partment, is being recognized all over
the state, and she leaves today for
Tampa in answer to one of the many
calls made upon her by womens clubs
and high school boards for demonstra-
lions in the art Of cooking.
The laying of the cornerstone of the
new administration building of the col
lege has been postponed from March
the Bird to March the 7th. The cere-
monial program will remain as at first
arranged.
