STATE NORMAL.

More or less of a change is being
made in the plans for school liter
airy societies this year. AS last
year, the freshman and sophomore
classes will each have its own So
ciety, meeting during the last hour
of some school day once a month.
This year, however, the juniors as
we'll as the senior and college class
es will belong to the geneEal school
'lit" and the twice-a- month meet
ings this year will be held in the
assembly hall with programs open
to all, and to which all are cordi-
ally invited to come.
One of the new features this year
in all of the societies, will be the
emphasis laid on parliamentary
procedure, through practice in
which it is hoped normal students
may be spared the necessity of
staging any such performance as
was put on at the last assembly Of
the summer SESSION, during the con-
sideration Of the report of the COM
mittee on resolutions. The object,
however, will not be to make stu
dents unduly technical in regard to
procedure in public assemblages,
but to make them acquainted with
the general rules and practices by
which public meetings are usually
carried on.
A second greater innovation this
year will be the giving of extra
points in English for satisfactory
appearances on the literary pro-
grams the number of points vary
ing according to the quality of the
work done by the student in each
of his appearances on the pro-
gram. The various class sponsors
will cooperate with their class
committees in the making. carry
ing out, and crediting of the pro-
grams.
