6 THE NORMAL ADVANCE term7 how much easier it would be for every one at the last. PLEASE TAKE NOTIOE. A11 Normal students should realize that busi- ness relations are reciprocal. There are busi- ness men in Terre Haute Who will under no consideration, support any Normal publication or enterprise, consequently you have not the time to call upon them. Contrary to this class are many dealers who are always loyal to the school and to student enterprises; their ads Will be found in the AD- VANCE. It stands to reason, that if you are an honest, appreciative student, you Will observe it as a duty to trade With these men entirely. Also kindly mention Where you saw the ad. In this issue of THE ADVANCE Will be found an article, itThe Lost Day;7 by Arthur F. Turn man, Which was written While Mr. Turman was a senior in the Normal Training High School. He is now a Freshman in the College Course. Have you joined the Athletic Association? gErrors like straws upon the surface flow; He Who would search for pearls must dive belowyeDryden.

Entered at the Postofjice of Terre Haute as secondvclass Mail Matter. FORETVOIBD. 1TH this issue we begin the twentieth volume of THE NORMAL ADVANCE. It is our earnest hope, as we presume it has been the hope of all our predecessors, to make this the best year of all the years which have preceded it. This means a great deal, because there have been some very successful years in the history of the paper. , The students of I. S. N., however, should keep one thing in mind; namely, that this can- not be a successful year for the ADVANCE unless they make it so. THE NORMAL ADVANCE is the school paper, issued for the benefit of all worthy school interests and enterprises, and as the school paper, it must rely upon the student body for support. The paper can be only what they make it: First of all the ADVANCE needs material for each and every issue. We would like to have ADVANCE 5 every student in school feel that he is cordially invited, even urged, to submit to the editors any article he would like to have published. We do by no means guarantee that every article submitted will be published, but we do guar- antee that it will receive proper consideration, and if it is of standard quality it is certain to be seen in print. The other important avenue in which the ADVANCE needs support is in subscriptions. The paper, as a student organ, endeavors to support the best interests of the student body as a whole. Is it then asking too much of the stu- dents when we request that every one support the paper by subscribing for it? The sub- scription price of the entire eight issues from October to May inclusive is but seventy-iive cents, so there can be no complaint registered because of the high price. If the students of I. S. N. will but take these two things into consideration-the handing in of good material for publication, and the sub scription habit, there can be nothing that will be able to prevent the twentieth year of THE NORMAL ADVANCE from being the best ever. Is there not a large number of things which one can think of doing at the beginning of a term? The term stretches away so far ahead, and seems to be such a long time, that one is tempted to think that it will be possible to do everything that has been planned, and still have a very good margin of tinie left. The most natural course is to take this margin of time at the first of the term rather than at the last. It is owing to this fact that one sees so many students taking things easy at the first of the term, and then sees the same persons going the proverbial sixty-miles-an-hour gait during the last two or three weeks. If it were only possible to overcome this repugnanee for work toward the first of the
