OBITUARY
ADA ewRNpoLA KNAPp

ALA Wv ENDOLA ANAF1
Miss Ada Gwendola Knapp, died
at the home of her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. w. Knapp, in this city last
Monday, January s, 1912, of int1am-
atory rheumatism. Miss Knapp
was born in this city February 8,
1898. She attended the local public
schools and was in the Junior class
in high school last year. Her i'll
ness, which was first apparent about
four years ago, was so serious dur
ing last summer that she was un-
able to resume her school work and
during the fall and winter she was
almost constantly confined to the
house. Miss Ada was possessed of
a bright and cheerful disposition
and was much beloved by all who
knew her. She is survived by her
parents and five brothers, John,
Roy, Harry, Winnifred and Regin-
ald-and three sisters-Misses May,
Luella and Maurine.
The funeral services were held at
the home yesterday afternoon, Rev.
VIM. ]. Gray officiating. The re-
mains were laid to rest in Green
wood cemetery.

AT THE NORMAL

The extreme cold weather has
kept the janitors assiduously SHOW
cling coal and attentive to every
part of the heating plant. Though
many schools throughout the coun-
ty were rendered too cold for work
none of the classes in the Normal
were dismissed because of the cold.
Miss Myrtle Francis, who was de-
tanned at home on account of illness
in the family, returned Tuesday eve-
ming.
Professor Castle received word
Sunday of the illness of his father
at Ann Arbor, Michigan, and on
Monday morning, while on his way
home Professor Castle received
word that his father was dead, A
night message of sympathy from
the members of the faculty and stu
dents was sent to Mr.. Castle Mon
day evening. He will return in a
few days to finish the work of the
present term which ends Jan. &c,
before returning to his work at
Princeton.
The proposed program for next
terms work differs in some respects
from the present one. The recita-
ton periods will be fifty minutes in
length instead of fortyfve. In
view of the fact that some of the
work corresponds to that given in
college and that large part may
be counted for credit towards col
lege degree, it is necessary to make
the recitation periods conform in
length to those in colleges. The
new program proposes to have six
periods, five in the morning and one
in the afternoon, beginning at seven
fifty-five a. M, and ending at two
thirty-fve p. m, thus placing a
large part of the work in the morn
ing. The manual training and the
domestic science for students in the
Normal department, and the labor
atory periods will be in the after
noon, there being a seventh period
arranged for these subjects.
Dorothy Taggart, Jennie Strang
and Carl Miller arranged for
spread" and impromptu program
for entertainment of the members
of the orchestra after the regular
practice Tuesday evening.
The basket ball team played the
initial game of the season at the
Normal school this afternoon, their
opponents being the team from the
Ellsworth high school.
