GENERAL.
The Normal hM begnn. ami is now rnnnin~; at fnll
blMt with a total enrollment o f 3 18. which l.s a gain of
25 per cent. o\·cr las t year·~ numbe r {lll:l)' this be d ue
to $ 1.00 wheat!). We have no SJmCe to s pare. ami
there is a s pecial need for more recitntion room. The
adv:lnccd Latin cl:lss is for<:ctl to hold it9 ret·itat.ions on
o ne of the st:t.ir-c:~.se 1!\ntlings. Howe \·cr. ntfain~ are
ninning ns smoothly n.s can 00 (';t;pt."<'lt.'{l; the new s tudent9 nrc well plea$1-. J. and the olrl ones certainly do
no t regret that they :~rc b:1ck ngain.
Tho fnculty this year I'Onsists of twe nty wcll-flncrl
~eachers. se\·er:al u f whom are ne w to the .sd1ool. Prof.
J . W. Livin~ston nf the ~partn high sC11oul. where ho
has taught for eight years. has bccu cnp:ngL'tl to till
P rof. Syh·cster's position as institute cnndur.tor. He
also has charge of thn professional rcdcws and school
economy classes. Mr. Lh·ings ton hns :t.lways been
prominent throughout the s tate in educational lines.
We are pleased to have hi~)! with ns.
Mr. GL'Orgo L . Teeple. who was thi~ spring grnntcJ
the degree of BaL·hclor of Arts at Han·ard Unh·cl'jjity,
cumcs well preJJRrctl to teach lite rature and rhetoric.
Mr. Teeple is alw a graduate from the Mechanical En·
gineering course at Cornell. As a teacher. he hM had
six yean~ of e:oc:perie ncc in the New Ham ps hi re College
of Agriculture and Med1anic Arts.
Mrs. Mnry V. Mus tard. s tude nt from Chit·ngo Uni\'ersity. teaches prep:t.r:ttory branches. M n~. Mus tard
grmlnated from the Tcrr:1 Haute. lnd., ·Normal, and in
18Dl rece h·ed tho degree of A. U. at the In,diana State
Uni\·orsit.y. She has bad e:oc:pcrie nce in Normal work.
ha\·ing taught fur some time in tho Normal at May\"ille, N . D.
Miss J e nnie M. Whitman. who taught here tho last
yen.r. has charge olf Englis h grammn.r and composition.

i n the Spart:~ high S<·hw l under P rof. J.h•ing:tton.
Miss Elizabeth Simpson. as chief libr:u·ir1n, is the
successor of :\!iss Irene Warren who fills a similar po·

Miti Louise Montgome ry who resigned will attend

to learn this fllct when they returnc.J. but it Is hoped
that some time s he will be with us again.
W he re :\lr. Spaulding is at Jlrcscnt located. we hn\·e

The work of e nlarging the suience dcpart111Cnt which
hM alway.!! been crowded is about complcte..l. T he geology and and :l(l\'anecd physic;~ classes now ha1·e a

tho tOII' CI'!I :1.1 t ho m:tin entrance. but tho appearance o f
the building has no~ s nfTen!il the refrom.
Sen:r.tl othe r marked imprO\"emcuts can 00 noticed
abou t tho Normal. A shelf h:u Ucen putupiu tho !mil. to
relic\·e the 1\at-lumdcd pos ts- good idea. Tho lockers
ha\·\: Ucen made non-get-in-able wiihout a key. nml are
now worth twico their pl'icc- another good idea. lmpro\·cmenLS in tho \'Cntilating system are Ucing mado.
The paiutcrs nre treati ng the tower (the one withou t
the 8 o·d oek 0011) to a fresh coat of paint.
Some of tho cl3sses arc unusually large this year.
The rheto ric clasl! consists of two largo sections; one of
the dmw111g classes has o\·er eighty membe rs; Miss
Linton's lirst (JUarter tuU!iic ··lass s ums up to one hun( h "t.>il nnd lifty .
The number of 3 o·clouk clMscs is tunnll this year to
accommod:ue a gymnM inm class which titcets at that
time. The 8 o·docks, howc\·er. s till keep up their
st~~~~~r;~~ i\\ethodist
a nd Pres byte rian churches gave
receptions in their church Jmrlors to Normnl students
Sept. 3rd. An e njoyable time was hnd at ench. At
the latter Mr. Collins spoko of his trip to Colorado.
Mrs. £11iott also ga\'e 11.11 interes ting talk, s peaking of
Yellow Stone Park and it-i wonde rs; she showed nu·
merous Ucautiful photogmphs taken in those regions.
By the way. sociability seems to be growing among
the s tudent9; we hear that some of the Norm11lites e \·cn
1ttent so far ns to atte nd both of the rcception9.
Tho reception tende red Saturday, Sept. 11th. by the
o ld s tude nts to~ the new ones wns well attended. and a
9uecess in o..·~r)' respect. Tho hand shaking i.ook plncO
in the gym nasium which wns bcautilied by the usual
decorations.
When en:ryono felt that he wa11 no
more a stranger in 11 strange land. Prof. McCaskill B8
master of thnt part of the e ntertainment, nnnou ncL'<i a
Rpeech by Pres. Pray who gave all a hearty welcome.
Professors Collins. Livingston a nd Swift were then in·
troduced. Tbs_.sa.ri!Hrs_ gLJ.h_csc ge ntlemen were so
full of wit nnd humor thllt the reporter, on nccount of
incontrollable laughter . wns unable to reeon1 thoro;
and ;;o It happens. we are sorry to say, tl1at they do
not appear in tho columns of the Po inte r. A grand
march followed, after which all fell to tho sherbet and
cake served in the musi<' room. Then with heart and
stom:1ch filled, all dispersed to their respective abodes.
A s a climax, let us say thnt much Cn!ilit is due to the
different committees. although the one for collecting
did not get quite all thr~t it wanted.
T he usual organization and reorganization of socie ties has taken plzice. The Forum hM begun with an
increased meml-.en~hip. There is no lack of enthus iasm. nml good work is being done. The following ofticcrs we re elected : Aug. Grimm. president ; G. W .
Gates. vice president: l{oy Ueaeh, secretary; Wm. Har·

J. l..ntto n and P. Koller cons titute the C;t;ccuth ·e com·

The Arena has nl110 been N·orgnnized, and it is hoped
will do ove n better work than last year. The following office r~~ ha\'e been elected: J ennie !Joregon. pn.:sidc nt; Nellie Nelson. \'ice preside nt; Howard C11tc, secretary: K. Pray, treasurer ; J e nnie Boreson. G. MclJill
