ART EXHIBIT AT THE NORMAL

During the week beginning Nov.
% an art exhibit will be held in the
Society Room in South hall of the
Normal school. This exhibit comes
here directly from Chicago and will
be entirely different from anything
of the kind ever held here before.
One hundred pictures in colors
will be exhibited. These pictures
would be suitable for school or
home and would make fine Christ
mas presents. A fine opportunity
is given for any school in this vi
clnity that contemplates purchas-
ing picture for the school room to
send committee to inspect these
pictures. Much more satisfactory
results will be obtained in this
manner than would be obtained by
merely ordering from catalogue.
The pictures at the exhibit will
all be for sale at prices ranging
from ST. rs to $40 90. People from
outside the school are most cord
tally invited to come and inspect
these pictures and purchase if SO
inclined.
An admission fee of ten cents
will be charged. This one charge
admits to the exhibit at any time
during the week as many times as
you care to attend. The proceeds
of the exhibit will be used to pur-
chase pictures for the Normal build
ings. Miss Pardee will have charge
of the exhibit.

HOWARD CO. PLEASES

From the Oconto Falls Press.
If ever company delighted an
audience and gave such general
satisfaction, this may be said of
the Howard Quntette which appear
ed here on Friday eve.
Their music never will be for
gotten, and this is something that
has never been felt before by local
audiences.
1t is hard to say which artist
pleased most; but of course any
one can see that Mr.. Howard is
brim full of energy and ability and
unlike most of his class, he is gen
ial and most pleasant to meet.
His party gave him excellent
support throughout, especially the
pianist.
Come again, Howard Quintette. "

reading the bulletins you sent me
concerning our dear old school that
has progressed in numbers until it
has reached 500 in it's enrolment.
How my old teachers longed for a
rapid increase. 1t was "our" school
though then, as it is yours" now.
How we worried lest our Board

w. D. Parker should be convinced
that it was our fault, that il grew
so slowly. But our dear old Presi-

the good Pedagogical College he
gave US in our Teacher Meetings.

interesting and inspiring work, but
the Normal trancends all other
work to me. First in the helps and
inspirations furnished US by our
faithful Mr.. Parker, second, in the
wonderfully earnest hard working
students from the country constit-
uence furnished us by farmer boys
and girls of that period. Many of
them from the peasant ranks of
Europe, but few years in north
ern Wisconsin where opportunities
were few.
What inspirations their eagerness
to know afforded Pres. Parker, Miss
Foote, Mrs. Jennes, Prof. F. H.
King and others of those early days.
But l must guard against great
length, for this is to have the honor
of lying under the new corner stone
Of new building added to the big

Long may it prove beacon light
for mariners on the Seas of
