equivalent to self-consciousuess or In
diyidualized being. Character, on the
other hand. strictly defined, means the
attributes Of the Individuals the

Superfluous Hair Killed

succeeded in entirely eradicatjng all
traces of her own very distressing
growth of hair on chin, lip. and arms,

Eere, Commissioner siddons, is
your answer.
A normal school is called BY that
name because 1t establishes ncrms
Of teaching. 1t is a school whose
methods are to serve as models Tor
imitation. And normal comes
originally from the Latin norma"
meaning rule. or pattern.
This with the compliments of the
Bureau Of Education. Ask 1t a hard

pursued diligently. Miss Anne God
ing. principal of the James Ormond
Wilson Normal School, admitted that
the question was most interesting,
but she ''fiunked" on the answer.
Other educational authorities passed
it up. Then the United States Bu-
reau Of Education came to the res
cue.
The term normal school" crept
into English directly from the
French ''ecole normaIe." In 1894
the convention decided to create in
Paris an ecole normale, where citi-
zens of the republic. already in
structed in the useful sciences,
should be taught to teach
The term was transferred to Eng
land in the thirties. and when the
first schools for teacher training
were founded in this country, at
Lexington, Barre, and Bridgewater,
Mass. in 1899 and 40, they, too,
were called normal schools.
