THE NORMAL OFFERING II Zihe fyear: JY ,.7Peu1bw. I-IE SCHOOL has had a vigorous life during the past year, steadily - pursuing its work, making improvements in the working of the . ,, , t outlines of the different lines of studies to make them more effec- tive in the training of the students. . ' A large number of new books have been added to the differ- ent departments ofthe library. The card catalog and system of cross references is being rapidly completed. Many additions have been made to the picture and pamphlet collections. Many modern charts and maps have been added to the historical department, a.nd the system of historical pictures more thoroughly arranged. In Geology, a new set of test specimens of fossils has been arranged for individual examination, and the sets of trays of rocks and fossils for class exami- nation have been completed. Several new modern physical and political maps, and a fine globe showing the relief of the ocean beds and the continents have been added in the department of Geography. More than five hundred dollars' worth of new apparatus has been purchased for the Physical Laboratory. This department has an excellent equipment. A course in Spherical Trigonometry and Analytical Geometry have been added to the electives in the four years' course. The entire course in English with the four years' students and that of the elementary course, with the exception of the English Literature has been as- signed to Miss Emerson, and Miss Comstock has taken a part of the Geometry instead of the Rhetoric. Individual singing by each member of the class is a new feature in the musical training. New outlines for Nature Study for the grades have been prepared in three sections for fall, winter and spring terms. The Drawing and color work has been closely adapted to this new course. Marked improvements in the details of the practice work in the Model School have been made, also in the work of the different grades of the Model School. The Legislature of IQO2 has madeian appropriation for the purchase of the church green opposite the front of the main school building. It is hoped that in the near future the school will have a new Gymnasium building, well equipped, having baths and dressing rooms, and large enough for daily practice by the whole school during the cold season. ' Through the kindness of the present Legislature one of Steinway's' best parlor concert grand pianos has been purchased for 'the Assembly Hall. The gr-and piano formally in use in this hall has been placed in the Reception Room in Normal Hall, and the square piano in this hall has been removed to the Gym- nasium, where it is used in therpractice of the Esthetic Gymnastics recently in- troduced as a part of the course in Physical Training. Bridgewater is looking out, up, and forward. Let every one of the Alumni lend a hand. '
