plans are being considered when
will furnish more entertainment Ter
normal students at Trinity this sum
r,er than can be had in anw other
school i'm Texas. IL is through the
entertainment provided by the peo-
PIE of Waxahachie that Trinity
hopes to attract a very large body OF
students this year. The course OF
study will not be lessened in order
to permit of the pleasures, but the
PEOPLE of Waxahachie propose to
throw IN the entertainment for full
measure.
At a meeting of the committee
from the Chamber of Commerce with
managers of the normal late FRI
day it was decided to specialize TINS
wear in entertainment of the visitors
as a means of bringing the Trinity
normal to the attention of Texas
teachers. 1t is essential that teach-
ers of the rural and city schools take
normal worr during the summer
months if they would maintain
high standing in the ranks OF the
profession, but there is no reason
why this work could not be had In
connection with summer OUTING
At least that is the view the Waxa-
hachie business men take of 1t, and
they are going to supplement the
normal offer of a most excellent
study course with program OF en-
tertainment that will insure each
and every visitor a pleasant stay in
the city.
While q program of the enter
tainment has not been fully outlined
it was definitely decided at this
meeting that formal reception be
held during the first week or the
normal in order that the citizens may
come to know the visitors by name.
After this get-acquainted meeting
it is planned to provide some sort OF
entertainment each week for the
visitors, such as theatre parties,
moonlight picnics with watermelon
feasts and various forms of amuse-
ments which will bring the visitors
into closer touch with the citizens.
There is to be unity of purpose Ill
| this entertainment feature and
teachers will be made to feel well
come by the business men, the So
ciety and club women, the churches
and various classes. Not one snail
be sighted. This is the promise
| the committee is going to make in
| its claim for patronage of the nor
| NAL and fulfill when the teachers
come to Waxahachie.
The idea that teacher to do the
best work must hide himself or
herself away from the pleasures of
society is wholly wrong. WaXaha-
chic people believe strongly that ali
work and no play makes Jack duh
hey, so they have decided to pro-
vide the play while the normal fac

peal will be made to the young man
or young woman who desires TO I'M
prove his or her certificate and bet
ter qualify to instruct the children
of the land.
1t is understood that special ef-
fort will be made this year to bring
-,
al lectures on educational work
This is to be an added benefit to
tie course, for any young teacher
can we'll afford to listen to an ex-
perienced educator tell of the best
methods of teaching.
With all thse things grouped To-
gother there is no good reason Why
the Trinity normal should not be
TIE best normal in Texas. and Wax
ahachie citizens need not hesitate
tc invite their friends to come here
| to take normal work. And while
that thought is present let us sug-
gest that the citizens begin noS and
