After n meeting OF the faculty or
rrinitv Summer Normal at the uni
,ersitv auditorium Saturday after
noon. when plans for the normal
vera discussed at length, joint
.assion of the teachers and business
men was held at the Chamber of
Irommerce room where the matter
oe Advertising the normal was dis
opssed at length. Those in atten-
dance upon the faculty meeting
we're II. E. Gable of Kaufman coun-
~ G. f. Jackson of Navarro County,
NJ p. Rogers of Hill county. Mr..
Mills of Waxahachie and Dean Cor
don of Trinity. These gentlemen
| are interested in making the Trinity
normal the largest and best yet
held. The main feature that at
| ire cts teachers to normal is the
prospect of getting certificate, and
n aid in this point all the subjects
reouired for any state certificate
viii be offered in the Trinity normal.
The primary methods will also be
taught. and in addition to these
nlans are being formed to bring
noted educators here 10 talk with
the normal students and tell them
the best methods for use in teach
ing. The normal begins on June
II and continues until July 27.
The examination begins July "a.
The total cost of attendance upon the
summer normal in Waxahachte VIII
be $4,000. tbs amount is divided
as follows: Tuition $500 and board
for the six weeks $28.00.
II is the desire of the manage
ment of the normal to inaugurate
a cooperative movement among the
former students of the Trinity Nor
NAL and the university, which will
bring the summer normal to the
attention of the friends of Trinity
throughout Texas. 1t is planned to
secure the names of each and every
teacher in the four counties that
are cooperating in the noiIcal and
send them literature setting forth
the advantages of the Trinity nor
nal over other normale in Texas
There are approximately 1000
teachers in Ellis, Kaufman, Navar-
70 and Hill counties, and Trinity
should have a majority OF them in
attendance upon the normal. The
attendance last year was estimated
at 200, but during the presen. year
i. is hoped that the normal will have
an attendance of 800. An atten-
dance this large may be secured if
the school and business interests CO.
operate in promoting the normal
IL is estimated that while the nee
essary cost of attending normal
amounts to only a little more than
$1,000 per student, they usually
spend from $50 to $40. Figur-
ing the average expense at $65 per
student the bringing of 800 students
here for the normal would mean that
$4,000 would be spent here during
the six weeks, and 1t comes at a
time when business Is dull, hence
the need of the business interests
aiding in the promotion of the nor
NAL.
There are various ways in which
to advertise normal but the best

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
LONDON, May, 11.-With the war not
far from completion of its second year,
the American newspaper correspond
ents in London have become So accus-
toned to working under the handicaps
of a censorship that there is now COM
paratively little friction between the
men who would send the news and
those who would stop it. Although
there are occasional stoppages that are
past understanding. correspondents
generally have learned the limitations
under which they can disseminate news
from a belligerent country and the CEN

become more reasonable.

How the Censorship Works.

Sir Edward pointed to the British
governments notification upon the out
break of the war that the telegraphc
and radio services throughout the en-
pire would be suspended. and he en-
phasized the phrase contained in this
notification that the government would
under certain conditions permit the
transmission. of some messages 'as an
act of grace"

an American message; come. let US

actually say to ourselves is: Let us

stands And if it cannot: Let US see
now little need be taken out.
Sir Edward explained that the CEN
sorship is governed by the defense of
the realm act. by the regulations ma de
under it by order in council and by
which are issued from time to time by
the press bureau and by various de-
partments of state.
Object of the Government.
The object of the censorship which
the British government imposes, said
Sir Edward. is tWofold: First, to pre-
vent the British press. and the cables
over which Great Britain has control,
from being used to disseminate mill
tary and naval information likely to
damage the cause of the entente allies,
or to be of use to the central powers;
and. second to prevent the British
press and cables from giving other
assistance to the enemy.
I'VE have had to turn down good
many stories for naval and military
reasons" he said, "and there has been
much criticism of the government (and
of the bureau. which is its agen) for
the restrictions imposed in the matter
of raids.
"But surely it is not desirable to
present the enemy with informa tion IS
to his route. as to the exact place g
where he hit and where he missed and
so forth"
Sir Edward recalled one America n
story, which censor had refused
