This directly affects us 1 1 through tl1e loss, from the faculty of our Normal, of 1 E one of our most faithful and devoted teachers. E 1 Mr. Guss,one of the three first teachers in our school, 1 1 has, for sixteen years given himself, heart and mind, to 1 55 the studies for which he was responsible and with what faithful and E 'I' untiring efforts he has tried to bring the students of N. A. N. S. into 1 -I- -l- E closer touch with the wonders of mother nature, only those who have i i worked with him and under his direction can testify. From the 1 1,11 study of the rocks a.nd soil which form our earth, through the develop- 1 E ment and growth of plants and animals, Mr. Guss has sought to make -I- :llj us realize to some extent, at least, the wonder and sacredness of all E 1 forms of life and those who have been under his instruction before + E us and have taken their places in the busy world realize, as we cannot, + :llj the importa.nce and significance of the principles which he has en- jj 1 deavored to make tl1e1n understand. 1 E Not only in our school has Blr.
