A very pleasant affair was the in
 formal dance given by the Normal
 school last Saturday evening on the tennis courts for the entertainment of the students in order that they might become better acquainted. Gaily col ored electric lights were strung over the courts, adding a festive spirit to the scene. The Perry orchestra rem dered good program; punch was served and every one reported an en- joyable time. Miss Boyer, Mrs. Ben tel and Mir. Carpenter comprise the committee on entertainment, and they have certainly made very successful beginning.

 A building for the training school of the normal is to be erected this summer at cost of S100,000.
