THE NORMAL ADVANCE As we go to press we are impressed with the factthat the academic year, 1910-11, is in full progress. The feeling of strangeness has worn off. The student organizations and enterprises are organized for the year. I. S. N. has often been praised for the in- dustry and serious purpose of her students. We are glad that this is true and we say, with all emphasis, let our work be our first considera- tion. Nevertheless, we are quite certain that the student who does not take time to get into the school life makes a great mistake. If you are asked to do something that seems worth while, do not miss the opportunity because you think you are too busy. I. S. N. has a spirit, and if you get into it you will be surprised how much more you will enjoy your year in school. This month there appears a selection from Charles Dudley Warneris giMy Summer in a Garden? Selections from the same book will appear throughout the year. They are the best parts of a good book, and we hope you will enjoy and appreciate them. SELMA VOGNILD THE FACULTY. This fall, Miss Charlotte Bertha Schweitzer became Dean of Women. She succeeded Miss Martina C. Erickson, who resigned during the 15 summer to accept the presidency of Monticello Academy, Godfrey, Ill. Miss Schweitzer is well known to the school. She is a graduate of I. CHARLOTTE BERTHA SCHWEITZER S. N., and she was for several years assistant in the department of grammar and composition. For the past two years she has been at the University of Chicago. No doubt Miss Schweitzer will be entirely successful as Dean of Women. Assistant Professor C. H. Beaniof the de- partment of phychology is again' iilling his position after spending a year in the depart- ments of psychology and education at Colum- bia University. Dr. Cephas Guillet, who, it will be remembered, came last fall to fill Mr. Beanis position, left at the close of his years work. . ' Prof. Chas. M. Curry, head of the de- partment of literature, who is on leave of ab- sence this year, is doing work at Oxford, Eng- land. In his absence Miss Moran is acting as head of the department. Miss Selma M. Vognild, who is serving as as- sistant professor in the department, comes highly qualified for her work. She holds a Ph. B. degree from the University of Wisconsin, certificates in oratory and public speaking from Northwestern University, Harvard University, and Columbia College of Expression, Chicago. Miss Vognild was spring assistant in reading

IMPORTANT. Students, we wish to call your attention to the fact that the NORMAL ADVANCE is a publica- tion devoted wholly t0 the interests of the stu- dent body. The paper needs your support. ' You need the paper. Hand in your subscrip- tion now and get the benefit of the entire volume. The paper cannot maintain itself wholly from subscriptions. Neither can the business men who advertise in the ADVANCE bear the re- sponsibility. We need both. Give to our down town friends the preference in your trade whenever it is possible. In so doing we feel that you will be well treated, and in turn they will be benefitted, and they will continue to ad- vertise with us. ' The students of the State Normal School can well be proud of the grade of work done in science. No department of the school has made greater advancement than the science depart- ments, in the opportunities offered. New ap- paratus is being added constantly. All this re- quires adequate quarters and we are informed that the various science departments are very much crowded. Better facilities in the form of offices, class-rooms, lighting, etc., are needed. Indeed, a science building will be necessary for the departments to do work as it should be done. The State Normal School of Indiana needs and deserves this improvement, and the greatest eEort should be put forth to secure it. The ADVANCE is a little late this month, and we doubt that the quality makes up for the delay. But remember that this is our g4maiden eff01 t,, and then think how you appreciated generous consideration at some time or other under circumstances similar to ours. Every student who can possibly do so should subscribe for the ADVANCE. The fact that one gets full value for his money is a minor con- sideration, but it is worthy of mention. In- teresting and valuable contributions by alumni, members of the Faculty, and students appear from time to time. The paper does its best to publish all news of the school. One who is interested in oratory and debating, athletics, local and society items, as well as the alumni of the school, will find that the ADVANCE sup- plies a real need. But the greatest consideration is that the ADVANCE is a student enterprise. It is a recog- nized institution at I. S. N. Everyone should feel that the paper is as much his as anyone 'else,s. If you Inever took. the ADVANCE before, sub- scribe for it this year. It is not too late. Though the first number is out, there will be eight others, and you can get a copy of the first number if you want it.

The AD- VANCE joins their many friends in extending congratulations. The total enrollment for the fall term of 1910 is 478. The enrollment at the beginning of last year was 543. Last year there were 129 Normal Course graduates and 15 College Course graduates, making a total of 144. This fall term there are 110 enrolled in the Normal Senior class. The graduating class bids fair to be the largest in the history of the school, for certainly the number of Seniors will be materially increased during the winter and spring terms. There are 77 enrolled in the College Course at the beginning of this year, as compared to 72 for the whole of last year. THE DREAMEB AND THE DEAD.
