MADISON NORMAL
CREDITS EARNED BY STUDENTS
ARE ACCEPTED BY UNI
NERSITIES.

The students are glad to welcome
DR.. Heston to his classes in psychol-
ogy again. In spite of his recent
great loss, occasioned by the death OF
Mrs. Heston, the president takes up
the work OF the executive office with
renewed diligence and unusual cour-
age.
The Normal school is rapidly grow
ing. The attendance has increased
very materially and all departments
are crowded. The institution ranks
as one of the most efficient in the
country. Credits earned by students
in the Normal are accepted without
reservation at all the leading uni
versities of the west. Several stu
dents who completed two years work
In the Normal have been admitted to
full junior standing in such univer-
stiles as those of Minnesota, Wiscon-
sin, South Dakota, Nebraska and
Iowa. The work of all departments
is fully accredited by these univer-
stiles. This is unusual. Some of the
state universities mentioned grant to
students of Madison Normal more adj

dents of the Normals of their own
state. This is certainly a fine testi-
monial to the grade of work done in
this school. 1t has taken several
years to build up the departments
and the general conditions of the
school to this high standard. All
credit for what has been accomplish
ed in these lines should be given to
President John w. Heston.
Mrs. Brady and Miss Daily of the
Normal faculty attended the state
convention of the Woman's clubs at
Flandreau last week. Miss DAILY en-
tertained the meeting with a reading
from Othello. Much very favorable
comment upon her effort has been
heard.
DR.. w. Franklin Jones of the state
university will visit the Normal soon.
His mission is to address the students
of the institution at the morning
chapel exercises and also to address
the Child Welfare club of the city.
He will demonstrate his well known
efficiency tests" while here. The
coming OF DR.. Jones will prove a
great benefit to the Normal school.
The music department is in a very
thriving condition. More applications
have been made for private lessons
than can be given. Miss Toohey, the
director of this work, is a very busy
person. The Normal orchestra has
been organized. 1t promises to be
the best in the history of the school.

ings and other occasions of like char
acter. Prof. Atherton will speak to
the teachers of Union county at AL

for information concerning the extern
sion courses are being received. The

ton, as well as greatly increase her
efficiency in the school room.
