Normal School Letter
To the Home Makers of Madison and Lake county

To the Home Makers of Madison and Lake County:
The Normal School located in your midst was
organized and is maintained primarily to prepare
young people for teaching, but in connection with
this function, rather as a feature in this activity, the
institution maintains departments of instruction
having laboratory facilities and scientific apparatus.
The teacher sin charge of these departments can
often help the public in scientific service without
in the least impairing their other work, that OF
class instruction, to resident students. Our Agri-
cultural department has for several years given
proof of this fact and is doing considerable to help
those engaged in agriculture to improve farm meth
DDS and processes.
Our Department of Chemistry now comes for
ward with an offer to give courses of lectures dur
ing the current summer term on Chemistry OF
Foods and Conservation of the same with special
reference to the needs of the hosekeeper. These
lectures will be an elementary presentation of APP
piled Chemistry to household arts. They should
prove invaluable at this critical time to every house
keeper in the county. Our plan is to offer two OF
these lectures per week, on Tuesdays and on Thurs
day, at either 10 a. m. or 3 p. m, as may he most
convenient for those interested We shall be
obliged to charge a small fee to those who enroll,
but not more than $Ioo for the term. No other
charge will be made. Those interested may apply
at the Executive Office for enrolment cards and
work will begin next Tuesday if there is is any
demand for this service which justifies carrying out
the program herein outlined.

TOURISTS POUR INTO
CAMP AT HATTIESBURG

Camp Shelby, Hattiesburg, Miss
Many inquiries come to soldiers re
garding the best automobile highwa,
route from Indiana and Kentucky t,
Camp Shelby. Some facts in con.
nection with this matter might be Of
general interest.
Hattiesburg is on the Jackson
Highway, extending from Chicago
via Louisville, to New Orleans. Re-
ports along the route state that 70,
the most part the route is in good
shape. Many sections are in very
excellent condition; at other points
improvements are in progress.
The route extends from Chicago to
Lafayette, Frankfort, Lebanon, In
dianapolis, Columbus and Seymour,
Ind; Louisville, Hodgenville, Buffalo,
Glasgow and Scottsville, KY; Gala
tin, Nashville, Franklin, Columbia
and Lawrenceville, Tenn; Florence,
Ala; Columbus, Mason, Meridian,
Laurel and Hattiesburg, Miss. At
Hattiesburg the Centennial Highway,
from Memphis to Gulport, via Jack
son, crosses the Jackson Highway
From here autoists can proceed to
New Orleans with ease over the
Jackson Highway. or go to coast
points, 70 miles distant, on the Cen
tennial Highway. AT. Gulfport boat
ing, bathing and fishing is enjoyed at
all times of the year.
Many automobile parties are now
being formed among friends and rel
atives of the soldiers, and a verita-
BILE stream of ears is expected along
the Jackson Highway at an early
date. Already number of ears have
come over the route and all report
en- ioyable trips.

The Hartford Republican ia its

the language used in eur issue o.
Sept. 26th. in it's effort to "show u.
up" We suppose. But it made a mess

with this language: "The President
had no more to do with breaking OF

than this newspaper" Here is what
we really said: Mr.. Wilson hal
about as much TO do with the United
States seyering diplomatic relations
with Germany and ultimately deeiar-
ing war with her as the editor Of The

doesn't IL? The Republican then
quotes Mr.. Gerard's book in which he
said: "The President, Saturday, Feb
3. announced to Congress the break

people more egncrll'v or acute.y
than does the public school, 1t is
the pendulum OF society. the foun-

A jealous attachment to the prinei-
rles of our public school system is
the most promising feature of our
economical. social ard tivic life. Ut
is with pride we observe the increas-

In our own county. under the guild

Those who missed the speech of
DR.. Fred Mutehler at the court house
last Wednesday, certainly missed a
treat. DR.. Mutshler brought more
forsibly to the minds Of his audience
the facts as to why we are in this
war and what we are fighting for
than any man who has spoken here
since we became embroiled in the
world conflict. He says we are fight
ing for liberty just the same as our
forefathers did in the Revolutionary
war, and that it will take men, mon
ey and food to win it-snd we must
win! He, therefore, calls on every
one to save food, buy liberty bonds
and thus help sustain and equip our
boys who will go TO the front for US.
