THE NEWBERRY NORMAL

THE NEWBERRY NORMAL
! Lutheran Church Visitor.
The Newberry Sunday School No.
NAL closed it's sixth annual session On
August 18th with the highest enroll
ment in it's history. A strong pro-
gram had been most thoughtfully ar
ranged and it was most excellentay
carried out.
The earnestness and zeal with
which the delegates worked was re-
markable. Those Who came to speni
the week enrolled for the entire
course. There we're no "slackers.
The program was a working one. The
lectures were not merely idallst!c
and visionary, but the plans and
, methods fitted the actual needs OF the
average Sunday school. Everything
practical, usable yet not without IN
! spiration Did you ever listen to MIS-.
Cronk and not become inspired! II
You have ever heard her how could
yeu stay away!
DR.. Smith and Dr. Lsagacre were
there too It was their afst iItrs-
dactiou to the Normal. Beth eame
highly recommended and We were not
disappointed. Dr.. Smith has made
Sunday school problems a special
stxay, and the Normal was fortunate

Bid you ever study Bible uader
Dr. Harms? If ysa havea't, another
splendid opportunity has passed yea
by.
Miss Gesgans, Miss Summer aud
| Prof. Derrick conducted the classes
How to Teach using Gregery's
Seven Laws Of Teaching" as text.
Much interest Was shown in these
classes. This work was a fouRda-
F., ton for the lectures on plans ana
methods which followed.
The instruction by DR.. Cronk In
church music-chants and hymns
was exceedingly helpful.
The day work was not only well
planned but the same thought was
given to the evening.
There was the reception on the
campus, out under the stars. HOW
nice that was!
On Monday night We had the won
derful lecture by DR.. Voigt on "rne
Gap Between the Old and the New
Testament"
Tuesday was musical evening, and
on Wednesday we travelled with DR..
Cronk, as guide, through South
America, Thursday with Mrs. Cronk
by Canoe and Caravan Through
Africa"
On this evening Dr. Cromer very
pleasantly entertained the audienc-
by the reading of several selections
from Uncle Remus. All of the even
inc sessions were held on the cam
pus.
We cannot emphasize too strongly
the arrangement of the program or
the manner in which the Normal gen.
erally was conducted Everything
move smoothly and naturally. DR..
Harms walked about with his gen:atI
smile and pleasant greeting as
though a Sunday school normal WAS
an every day occurrence. The exec
utive ability of Dr.. Cronk in conduct
ing a normal is unquestioned.
Did we work all the time? No.
Afternoons were for recreation, ram
bles and games. You must have heard
the "rooting" Of that exceptional bal
came il which the umpire made =
hit" Through the kindness Of Prof.
Cannon we greatly enjoyed the wafer
melon cuts on the campus. There was
tie visit to the cotton mill through the
courtesy of The president, Mr. z. Fl
Wrist, aad the auto ride aDout aae
city-kindness of friends of the co.
lege. These are but few of the gooI
times of recreation periods.
A more congenial crowd would be
lard to find. No one felt lonely q:
left out even though they came
alone. The plan Of changing places
ar the table at each meal was a gee:
one. Without any exception tie
ladies' enjoyed the camp life in the
dormitories Here was found every
thing necessary for their comror..
Did we have good meals? Mrs.
Haltiwanger, who had charge Of the
