Although all of this advice had not at the beginning of -e i T ' th-e year been offered, the members of Class D., as it were by some - mysterious warning of the vials of red ink that would be poured out upon them in the future should they neglect to do this, took heed and read directions. Aimeeting was called, and Class D. was considered as a whole. The class was hrst initiated into the depths of Psychology when one of our number, in a Gay manner, gave such a comprehensive definition of that article called -a chair, that no other dared attempt to even attain unto it. Astonished at this unusual display of knowledge, we were overwhelmed at hearing ,Miss H-rs-y state in our presence that once she had actually seen a stuffed elephant, and the general inference which she had gained from the ob- servation was, that elephants might be very disagreeable animals. English was very interesting, being in some ways unlike anything we had ever had before. We learned to contract our minds-a little-so that we could make up sentences about an orange without. any help from the teacher. After being in this state for a while, Mr. T-ll-ey attempted to give a short definition of evolution, The reaction which followed this sudden expansion was so marked that many silently suffered from sore throat the rest of the day. Truly, sympathy is costly. In art, Miss L-nch easily leads. She is at present applying herself dili- gently that in the future she may recognize the fact that' a representation of a goose on canvas does not necessarily produce the idea of a chicken. The true scientific spirit follows only from an inquiring mind. There- fore, in Physics, Miss TK-rm-y-r searches long and earnestly in the tank of

26 THE NORMAL OFFERING water to catch a glimpse of the air which has just entered the water from a flask. Miss Sh-w, after vainly trying to develop enough horse-power to lift the fifty-six pound weight with two hands, is astonished that, after repeated efforts, she cannot lift that same body with one finger. As to the lightest person in the class, it has long been known that Miss E-t-s has the greatest spirit of levity, though much against her will. In the midst of all this brilliancy there 'Sis an honorable man. After two of his class had asserted' that they had studied their French Reproduction, Mr. Ah-rn- had enough courage to rise and declare in solemn French, I should tell a lie if I said that. VVe have at least learned a few practical facts in Chemistry. l Miss S- -s has clearly brought out the idea that if a good deposit of carbon is desired on the chimney of a lamp, all the one desiring this has to do is to shake a table. The equation for this has not beenwritten, for it is feared the action involved might not be chemical. Mr. M-h-n--y also has shown his knowledge of oils 'not necessary, and yet on some occasions quite necessary. But our attention has not been centered wholly on things of the present. Many have been the hours when we have discussed the thoughts and acts of the great Romans. A peculiar people, indeed, and of great powerg for one of our class-and a Freeman, too--once read these words from an author whose words concerning the qualities of real friendship can allow us to have no doubt of his truthfulness, and he rushed into his ears. None but a Roman could have done that. t As this has been our first year as Normalites, there is little to record. We hope that what we have gained this year may help us to make ourselves in our future school life, whether as students or as teachers, a history which may do honor to the instruction and training which we have received.
