Huntsville, Tex, Feb. 16, 1914.
To The Bryan Eagle
The members of the Press Club. a
students organization of the Sam
Houston Normal, are planning to send
to their home papers an occasional
news letter telling of things of in
terest connected with our school. We
believe the people of our home COM
munities would like to know what is
going on here-what this institution
is doing to turn out good teachers for
the public schools of Texas.
The enrolment this year has reach
ed 700. The third term begins March
IL, when others will probably enter.
The thirty-third years work of this
institution will close on the 26th OF
May. On the I'd of June the four
teenth summer session will open. In
addition to the regular faculty o.
thirty-three members, Superintend-
ents B. B. Cobb of Marshall, A. E.

viii teach the summer school.
The chemistry and biology depart
ments have been removed from the
Austin College" building into two
temporary "shacks" to make room for
additions to the practice school, which
is being enlarged and fully equipped.
This department has been in success
full operation for two years There
are now two teachers, with about fifty
pupils. The teaching force will be
increased soon so that all grades up
TO the ninth will be provided to give
the students of the normal a chance
to practice teaching before they are
graduated
One pleasant and profitable feature
of the normal school is the lyceum
course. We will have eight numbers
this year. Four have already come,
and the fifth, on February q, will be
the famous author and lecturer, Jacob
Riis, in one of his lectures on social
conditions in American cities.
By the beginning of the third term
We will be using the new gymnasium.
This is a modern fireproof structure
three stories high. 1t is built OF brick
and reinforced concrete, decorated
with concrete stone and marble On
the ground floors are shower baths
and a swimmiRe pool, with two large
locker rooms. The gymnasium proper
is on the second floor. and the third
contains the gallery of the gymnasium
and a class room The cost of this
building is about S25, 600
Under the management of the ply.

was sent TO The Eagle Office yesterday
hv one OF the readers of the paper
What We mean by sure enough four

might have used one set in walking
forward and the other when going
backward Two of the legs We're in
exactly the same place and position
as the legs Of all well regulated chick
ems, while the other two grew little
further up on the breast, hut were the
