President Murdaugh has returned
from Oklahoma City, where he pre-
sided over a two-days' session OF
the Council of Normal School Pres
idents.
DR.. Murdaugh reports that much
was accomplished which will be Civ
en- later report. One thing OF spe-
cial Importance however, is that the
state was districted into six trib-
utary sections adjacent to the re-
spective normals on the basis of rail-
road connections and population.
Were the territory undistricted
each normal would be advertising
among nine thousand teachers by
far the largest per cent of which
would be lost This means an enor-
nous saving of useless expenditures
of the states money used in com
petitiye advertising and intensfies
efficiency in the respective normals,
To be specific, there are one thou
sand, five hundred teachers in the
territory allotted to the Southeastern
Normal.
Upon the present basis the state
is assured not only a vast saving
in useless expense but the same
money can be employed in itensi-
flying and better equipping of the
institution and the territory contig-
uous to the institution will be better
worked and more thoroughly affilia-
ted with the respective normals.
Many new students continue to
enroll and prospects for the July
attendance grow more promising ev-

mains another week with daily lee

lures before the normal. The sub
ject of the lectures respectively are

Plants That Go to sIeen

Plants have a mind Of their own
on the subject OF winter sleep, and
gardeners have tried various meth
DDS of waking them up prematurely,
to furnish blossoms at a time when
they are scarce and costly. Mere
greenhouse heat and moisture failing
to yield the desired results, they have
successfully tried warm baths and
ether vapors to shorten the hibernat-
ing period Of bulbs. From Germany
comes description of the latest plan
devised by man named Weber. BY
sticking a needle into the base of the
bud he has caused it to unfold two
or three weeks ahead of its fellows.
Still more time was gained by inject
ing water into the buds. Not content
with water. physician has tried in
1ections of water with ten per cent.
of alcohol. BY this means he sue
ceeded in gaining ten days in the
budding Of oak twigs.
