From Mar OFF.

Last week the advertising COM
mittee of Trinity university summer
normal mailed out 5000 attractive
12-page pamphlets to high school
seniors and to teachers in Ellis and
adjoining counties.
At present everything points to-
ward the most successmul normal in
the history of Trinity university.
Prospects could not possibly he more
| fiattering, for letters inquiring about
Trinity summer normal are coming
in each day. These letters are from
rural grammar. and high school
teachers, also superintendent Many
of these teachers have attended
summer normals at various points
and they state that in their orin-
ion there is no normal in Texas SUI
perior to that of Trinity, for Trini-
ty has buildings, equipment. and
faculty second to none.
One of the Invest. widest awake
school men in this part of the state,
who Is now principal of the best
rural school in Ellis county, writes
that he had been spending his sum-
mers In the largest normals In Tex
as. but that he has decided to at
tend Trinity normal this summer for
the inducements offered are superior
to those of the biggest normals. He
calls attention to the fact that Trim
| ity normal has larger faculty in
proportion to the number of stu
dents than any other normal In
Texas, thereby enabling the individ-
ual students to receive whatever at
tention is needed. This same prin-
cipal states that his three assist
ants will come to Trinity normal,
although two of them live where
the largest state normal In Texas
| is located.
Several primary teachers. living
as far away as Sweetwater and
Quanah, have written the conduc-
| tor during the last week that they
will return again for work In pri-
mary methods, bringing several of
ltheir fellow teachers with Them One
lady who has been specializing in
primary work for fully ten years,
and during that time having attend
I- ~,
Texas, Tennessee and Illinois, writes
that the work she received In pri-
mary methods In Trinity normal
last summer was superior by far to
any that she had ever had before.
She further adds that she cannot
afford to miss the work this sum-
mer, since the instructor In primary
methods is the same as last year.
Trinity university during It's reg
ular session has a large faculty in
proportion to its number of stu
dents, In fact, the graduates of
Trinity university receive the same
recognition at Columbia, Harvard
and Yale as do the graduates of any
university in the south. With such
reputation as this Trinity univer-
sity could Ill afford to have sum-
mer normal that is not of the high
est rank.
In addition to the summer normal
there will be nine weeks session of
the summer school in which college
work will be done. The classes will
be taught to large extent by the
regular members of the faculty.
This is indeed a rare opportunity for
the teacher who canot afford to at
tend college in the winter because
IL offers him the chance to improve
his scholarship and at the same time
to work that will count towards his
degree.
Remember the date of the open
ing of the summer normal and sum-
mre school, June 18th.
