SOMETHING NEW
A LAGOON AND FOUNTAIN FOR
THE NORMAL COLLEGE
A Beautiful. Useful, HeaIthfuI and
Much Needed InnovatiOn

Under the administration of Pres
ident Lewis the Fore Hays Normal
College stands on an equality with the
best schools of the state and nation,
in all the wide range of Normal
School activities.
1t is a progressive. school, with a
strong teaching staff, and the equip
ment is being enlarged and strength
ened annually.
1t has been proved to the satisfac-
ton of all, that ambitious students of
limited means can here secure the
coveted prizes of liberal education
at less expense than at the majority
of our Colleges and Universities.
President Lewis stands high among
the educators of the great Central
West; his plans embrace not only
thorough scholarship, but it is his pur-
pose that the buildings and grounds
shall present an attractive appearance
to the visitor as well as a pleasure to
the student body; with this end in
view, the ground has been broken for
a Lagoon and Fountain at the center
approach of the Campus.
The Lagoon will afford, in season,
a beautiful display of water lilies
and a current of water will pass
through it from the Fountain where a
refuge for gold fish can be main
tanned.
The Free Press offers the sugges-
ton, that if anything is wanting in
the Fountain itself-anything in the
way of a neat price of fountain statu-
ary, that a popular subscription be
taken to further and secure this piece
of adornment, which will be a credit
to the city as well as to the school.
Mr.. Fred w. Albertson, Assistant
Professor of Agriculture, will aid in
determining the details of this orna-
mental work

Ed Rea's Residence Burned

A disastrous and destructive fire
occurred last Moday ngiht, when At
tOrney Ed Rea's residence in north
east Hays-the old Geo. Griffith resi-
dence-was burned. The walls are
still standing but are useless as they
are charred so badly that they viii be
useless in a new building. 1t is
thought that the fire which is sup
posed to have started in the basement
had been burning for about twenty
four hours before it broke out. The
furniture, rugs and all inside fixtures
were entirely destroyed. While there
was several thousand dollars insur-
ance, it will not nearly cover the total
loss, as there was a large amount of
valuable and costly furniture, rugs,
etc.
1t is somewhat of mystery how
the fire started, and Mr.. and Mrs. Rea
were out of town-were visiting
their daughter, Hazel, in Wisconsin,
where they had been for about ten
days. Some suggest spontaneous
combustion-caused by overheating
of coal in the cellar; others think it
was incendary. The cause will prob
ably never be,known.
The building might have been
saved if the company could have had
the proper amount of water pressure
at first. The pressure came too late
to save the contents of the house. 1t
was proven beyond doubt that the
mechanical fire apparatus which was
purchased at several thousand dollars
cost to the city, is failure when it
comes to contending with a sure
enough fire. 1t takes water and
plenty of it-and that is not always a
success

FALL SEMESTER AT THE HAYS
NORMAL OPENS SEPTEMBER 6

The Fall semester at the Fort Hays
Kansas Normal School will open Sep
tember 6. According to the Registrar
the inquiries for information and
catalogs are greater than ever before.
The prospects are good for a sub
stantial increase in enrolment over
last year.
There are many students in West
ern Kansas who believe that the Nor
NAL school is purely a teacher train
ing institution and consequently when
they think of college education, turn
in some other direction. However,
the Fort Hays Kansas Normal School
maintains in addition to its normal
course full college course, a music
course, a commercial course, and a
telegraphy course. 1t also offers
thorough preparation for the tech
nical schools of medicine, law, engin-
eering, pharmacy and journalism.
The expenses for the college stu
dent at the Fort Hays Kansas Normal
School are probably the lowest of al
most any other institution in the
country. This, connected with the
high scholarship maintained by the
institution, is attractive to the stu
dents within the western half of Kan
sas.
The Registrar reports that there
are still a large number of High
School teaching positions untitled and
there are still a good many rural
schools in the western counties with
out teachers. There are still some
poorly prepared teachers with little
experience without positions, but in
almost every case these teachers are
holding out for grade school posi-
tions; the grade school positions are
about all filled. but in many cases the
teachers have little or no professional
training.

We appreciate the fine cooperation
of patrons last year. Our attendance
was good. Let US make it excellent
this year. The School is a business
and the best work can only be done
when every student is present. If a
boy or girl is employed by some bust
ness concern down town, he does not
ask to be allowed to attend some cele-
bration or drive the car for some
member of the family or to visit
some friend. He should exercise the
same judgment when asking to be alb
sent from our business.
Visitors are welcome. Grade Books
are open for inspection at all times.
We are always ready to have a con-
ference with you in regard to any
school matter or pupils work. We
want to understand you and you to
understand US.
