NORMAL S0H00L NOTES-
A visit to the Normal School now
presents to the visitor a most busy
scene. On the part of the Faculty
and students it means term examina
tions, and these at the end of the
Winter term, are considered of much
importance. With this term the
Seniors have completed the History of
Education, Latin, and Natural Philo
sophy. In place of these they take
up General History, Botany and gen
eral reading. On the part of the
Juniors it means that they have com
pleted United States History ; some
have completed English Grammar
and Algebra. They will take up as
new subjects Geography, Boo'.; Keep
ing and Physiology.
On the part of the management of
household affairs it means a small
army of helpers going into every part
of the building, cleaning and putting
into order every available room in the
large dormitory. Indeed, we are in
formed that the entire capacity of the
building will be . taxed to its utmost.
The school will probably open the
new term next week with one hundred
and fifty new students including
boarders and day students.
Prof. O. D. Frederith of the Fa
culty of the West Chester Normal
School spent Tuesday in the class
rooms of our Normal. He expressed
himself as very much pleased with the
work he saw, and delighted with the
location of the buildings and plans of
the grounds.
On Monday forenoon another archi
tect visited the Normal with plans for
the proposed new building.
It takes about a half day each week
for Trm. Welsh to meet and discuss
with these men, the plans and de
signs they bring.
On the evening of the 28th the
Committee of the Trustees having
supervision ot buildings, will meet to
discuss various plans and in all proba
bility adopt some one of those.
Prof. Noctling and Prof. Cope took
advantage of the Monday holiday to
visu me scnoois ot wimesbarre, which
are under the able supervision of
Supt. James Coughlin. They express
iiicmseives as naving had a pleasant
