Normal and the associations, instruc-

selection OF instructors.
Resolved, That we extend TO the in
structors in our Normal our most
hearty thanks for their honest pains
taking efforts and excellent instruc-
ton.
In Mr.. John +. Swain we have
found a friend as well as instructor
His two years as county superinten-
dent gave him a wide acquaintance
with the teachers of the county and
the work he did in that capacity has
continued undated in the class room.
We find in Prof. Sceva Laughlin a
man of UNUSUAL intellect and one who
understands his subjects thoroughly
He is both graduate and postgraduate
from some Of the leading eastern col
leges of the United States. His knowl-
edge is 0 confined merely to that Of
his own country but includes expert
ences and study in the old world. He
has proved himself a competent teach
err and has always found ready re-
Spouse from the students Of his classes.
Mr.. Laughlin will please accept our
sincere appropriations.
Although Miss Lena Wright has before
had opportunities of showing her abil-
ity TO handle any subject which she
undertakes we VIII have been SO for
tunate as to secure her for N compo-
s%ition, algebra, gramar, etc, think she
is reaching a higher plane Of excellence
each year, and assure her that we will
not soon forget the patience, good hu-
NOR and sparkling wit which have
served to keep up our interest as well
as to firmly fix the different topics IN
our minds
