with 60 steel lockers TOT the students use. In this building will also be To- cated two comfortable rooms in which the janitor will be allowed to make his home The conduits which carry the steam heat will also enclose the electric wires and water mains, as we'll as a private telephone system connecting the various buildings.
 Not the least important of the inn provements at the Normal is the erec- tion of a model rural school building for practice teaching. The building is designed, as it's name indicates, to be model for the rural schools of the state to pattern after From the ex- terior it presents a most attractive appearance, with walls of dark green and asbestos shingles in dark brown. The interior is indeed a model of con- venience, lighting, ventilation and sanitation. Besides two large recita- tion rooms, there is manual train ing room and the building is provided with lavatories, toilets, etc. In this building 70 pupils of the Conway dis trict, 10 from each of the first seven grades, will be given instruction un- der the direction of an expert prac- tice teacher. seniors in the Normal be- ing assigned to do the teaching. Be sides giving the Normal students val uable training in actual schoolroom work. the model school will be of great benefit to Conway district in relieving the already overcrowded school of 70 of it's pupils. As there will be only 10 to each grade, the pupils assigned to the school will also have the advan- tage of much more efficient instruc- tion than they could in grade where there were from 75 to 100 others un- der the same teacher, as is the case in the lower grades of the Conway pub lie school.
 President Doyne is enthusiastic over the prospects of the Normal for the next session, which will open on September 15 All of the new build ings are expected to be completed in ample time for the opening, and many of the new dormitory rooms have all ready been reserved. If all are not taken by the opening date there is ex- pected to be a grand rush for those remaining, as the beautiful new rooms, so elegantly furnished, are sure to prove very attractive to the young ladies. President Doyne is now receiving applications for admission to the Normal at the rate of four or five a day and is kept busy answering correspondence from prospective stu dents.
 Referring to the cost of living, subject of much discussion in educa- tional circles at present, President Doyne believes the Normal offers un- usual advantages to SluueilCS III Iiou- crate circumstances, who are forced to practice strict economy in order to attend the institution. "The neces- say expenses of student at the Normal" he said yesterday, "need not exceed $160 for the session of nine months This is computing board and lodging at the rate of $15 per month, a matriculation fee of $5 and $20 for laundry and incidentals, Of course, many of the students will spend some what more than this amount, but, on the other hand, others will obtain work outside of school hours which will enable them to reduce their net expenses to considerably less than S160. As a matter of fact, large number of students have in past ses- sions secured enough outside work to reduce their cash outlay to less than half ttat sum
