SUMMER NORMAL
At A. & NJ. COLLEGE
PROF. r. I. DAVIS, OF NACOG-
DocHEs, CONDUCTOR.
The Very Best Advantages win Be
Afforded Teachers Wishing to
Take Summer Course.

Prof. II. 7. Davis. superintendent OF
the city schools of Nacogdoches, has
been selected conductor for the sum-
mer normal schools to be held at A. &
VI. college, which will open June 10.
The object of the summer school at
the college is to afford teachers in the
public schools the opportunity of add
ing to their professional attachments,
of raising the grade OF their certih-
Gates and of qualifying themselves to
teach agriculture in the public schools.
Teachers who desire to fit themselves
for agriculture will have the oppor-
tunity to devote themselves entirely
to the study of that subject, including
agriculture in the public schools, farm
crops, horticulture, types and breeds
of farm animals and agricultural chem
istry. Instruction will be offered in
arithmetic, algebra. bookkeeping,
chemistry. civil government. geometry.
geography. grammar and composition,
history, history of education, litera-
ture, methods and management, phys
iology, primary methods, psychology.
school law, trigonometry, etc. The
courses will be arranged in groups to
suit different needs as follows: The
second grade group, the first grade
group the permanent primary group,
the agricultural group, and the miscel-
laneous group.
Examinations Tor state certificates
will be held in conformity with the
regulations OF the state department,
on July 81, August /, and 3.
The entire expenses of the six weeks
will be about 500 The railroads will
grant reduced round trip rates.
1t is believed the favorable location,
the excellent equipment, the comfort
able buildings, and the capacious
grounds at the college afford unusual
advantages to teachers desiring to do
summer work. Secretary A. b. Wilcox,
of the college, is now preparing a spe-
cial pamphlet on the subject Of the
summer school, which will be sent to
all who make inquiry.

CLEANLINESS is NEXT TO GoDLl.
NESS.

John Wesley was not only a pro.
found theologian and inspirational re-
iigious reformer but also a far-seeing
philosopher who saw relations between
things that are not apparent to the
casual observer. An expression of
such a relation is contained in his
famous apothegm which has become
proverDial and is often quoted as
Scripture; Cleanliness is next to god
llness. He recognized the fact that
the superiority Of the ancient Israel
ties was largely due to the fact that
the Mosaic law required not only spir-
ltual but also physical cleanliness. and
he who ministered in the sanctuary
must have not only a pure heart but
also, clean hands.
In all history the degree of esteem
in which cleanliness has been held
has been a measure of civilization.
Savages are proverbially squalid and
nlthy, while the most enlightened peo-
pies are, without exception, the most
clearly.
That uncleanliness Is violation of
the divine law is plainly proven both
by Scripture and history. The whole
Bible bristles with denunciations or
those who violate the eternal laws of
sanitation, and the defamation by pes
thence of peoples who regarded not
these laws is visitation of divine
wrath on evil doors. We need not go
far for examples. Only a few years
ago. Havana, Vera Cruz and Panama
were reeking with filth and nurseries
of pestilence; now they are clean and
are becoming famous as health re-
sorts. On the other hand, all the eff
forts of the Christian missionaries
have failed to induce the teeming mill
ions of China to wash and be clean,
and because they have closed their
eyes and stopped their ears to the
truth one-fourth of the population of
some districts have fallen victims to
bubonic plague within the last two
months. Who will deny that this is
Judgment of heaven sent as punish
ment for violated law?
In proof of the proposition that clean.
illness is corollary of godliness,
which it follows as a natural conse-
quence, we can find strong proof in the
iNSNht AlSlOly VI ID. an. OHlA eleven
months ago both the spiritual and the
physical conditions of Bryan had been
practically unchanged for years. In
order to promote a religious awaken
ing the Protestant churches all co.
operated in planning and working for
great revival, for which elaborate
preparations were made and an emf.
nent evangelist was called to conduct
1t. The story OF the spiritual results
need not be recounted. But those who
planned and executed that great work
builded even better than they knew.
A little later the Commercial Club was
organized followed by the taking up
Of civic work by the Woman's Club
and the organization of the Civic :
League. Who dare say that there is
no relation between these great events.
all OF which have transpired within
eleven months and which have been
fraught with such tremendous conse.
quences? Blind NEEDED is he who can
not see the hand of God in It.
1t is a truth not so generally appre-
ciated as it should be that the most
acceptable worship to God is service
TO man. And how can we serve our
fellow men better than by making con.
ditions such that they will be health.
Ter and happier?

adopted the "trash-can" system insti-

4 year ago Bryan was practically
without sidewalks, but since the work
of building them was started it has
been pushed vigorously and is still in.
creasing in a geometrical ratio. At
first the contractor had to beg for
work and was idle half his time; but
now, although he has largely increased
his force and working facilities, he
has contracts far in advance of his
ability to fill them. For this, the city
council, the Commercial Club and, last
but not least, the Civic League are
entitled to the credit. Organization
and cooperation work miracles.

According to President Mezes and
other members Of the faculty of the
state university in their testimony be-
fore the senate investigating commit
tee, the chief difficulty in suppressing
hazing is the lack Of police authority
by the faculty. They have no power
to arrest students or to compel them
to testify. This difficulty could be met
by vesting such authority in the ex-
ecutive head of the Institution or
