TOWN AND VICINITY.


Henry Weslow, of Allegany, believes
1.-The people living in the Jennings Run
valley between Frostburg and Mt. Say
age should be given what is called rural
delivery postal service. Both the popu-

When one looks at the boxes on the
National Pike below Allegany Grove in
less populated section 1t looks like
Weslow is right.
The New Course at the State Normal.
At the opening OF the school year the
Frostburg Normal will offer to its st u
dents an up to date course in ElocutiOn.
The great need of such a course can be
readily understood when one considers
the disagreeable effect produced by a
harsh voice, even upon grown people.
How important it must be, then, for
a teacher, who is to train children, to
possess an agreeable voice. A well
modulated, pleasing voice, is, indeed the
very foundation of good discipline and
successful teaching, and for this reason
young teachers who are graduated from
the Normal are to have the benefit of
special training in ElocutioQ.
Many teachers are unable to speak in
public, and yet, in these days of com
petlrion, to do so is almost Indispensable
to success.
1t is said that by modern methods any
one may acquire Il voice that Is both
pleasing to the ear and adapted for
public speaking.
