heavily. The telephone rang and the

The operator apologized. II was an

WHAT IS A NORMAL SCHOOL,

Not every man can teach what he
knows.
Not every school master can
make the children interested and
shape their growth.
The training of teachers is rather
new in this country. 1t used to be
supposed that anybody who was
lame and could not work might be
set to teach the children!
The Berea Normal School has as
its one aim the benefit Of the chill
dren OF the mountain region. II
aims to give them teachers who
will know their business and can
cause the children to love their
studies and make rapid progress
toward manhood and womanhood.
IL is one of the very few normal
schools in the world in which the
majority of the students are youne
men, and in which the chief at
IGNITION is given in fitting teachers
for work in the country districts.
The equipments of the Berea Nor
NAL School are great. Chief among
them stands the wonderful Car
negie Library. and the Knapp Hall
for practice teaching.
The School has longer and shorter
courses of study. Those who com
plete the longest course receive q
certificate from the State without
examination. Those who go for
only a single term get ideas which
they can work out by themselves
The School has great advantages
also by being connected with the

LACING FROM BOOTS TO HATS
New Boiero Jacket 10 Laced TO FIT

the idea of lacing any two pieces OF
material that seem In any way to be-
long to each other being introduced
and adopted. A costume that has at
tracted much attention is one OF navy

With the new inside lacing OF the
boot comes the hat. whose several por-
tions are joined with lacing. Gloves
too, are laced on either the inside or
the outside OF the arm; in fact, to be
quite up-to-the minute one must have
two parts of the costume laced to-
gether.

smothering regret did not aid in good

to ignore her trembling hands and

letter. On one page Of perfectly cor

MAKES 'EM YOUNG AGAIN.

Professor of Zoology In Chicago Uni
versity Rejuvenates Animals.
Chicago.-The result of fifteen years
study of the evolutions OF life are con-
tanned In "Senescence and Rejuvenes-
cence," 800 page volume from the pen
of Charles Manning Child, associate
professor of zoology in the University
OF Chicago.
Certain experimental methods have
made it possible not only to follow the
physiological changes In some of the
lower animals, but to learn something
of their nature" Professor Child writes.
"These animals grow old. as do men,
but they are also capable Of growing
young. The process of aging can be re-
tarded or inhibited experimentally and
old animals brought back to condition
of youth and made to pass through the
life cycle again and again"

It has been said that the board

IL so they were disappointed, for Cham

MATES, Latin, history. science, physics,
English composition and rhetoric. So
there was nothing for 1t but to admit
her.
II all goes well she will receive her
A. B. at eighteen, and, If she pursues
her studies. her M. A. at nineteen.
Until the age Of six Chaminade did
not know a letter. She was not
strong child, and her parents hesitated
to send her to school. She began her
studies at home with her mother as
teacher. She never was forced to
study, and at times when she was not
feeling well she would go for several
weeks without opening book. Never
theless. at the age of eleven she took
eighth grade examinations and entered
the high school. In her second year
there she was so far ahead of her class
that at her professors suggestion she
left her class behind and finished the
three years in two. graduating last
spring.

girl, full Of life and fun, and unafflict-

make 1t specially DESTROYS that there

National association should make ex-
traordinary efforts next year to have
