serving as Parish Superintendents. The loans have all been repaid, and in most instances without delay. The interest rate is nominal, 4 per cent, per annum. This help to worthy students is greatly appre- ciated, and enables the student to complete his course of study and know that he is paying his own way. At the regular meeting in 1907 a proposition was considered to arrange for a general educational rally at the Normal School in 1910 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the establishment of the Normal School. A committee from the Association presented the matter to the Board of Administrators and that body cordially approved the suggestion. As nothing definite has been done towards this meeting, it might be well to leave the date open for 1911, which will witness the close of 25 years work of the Normal. Including the class of January, 1909, 982 persons have been grad- uated from the Louisiana State Normal School. All but about half a dozen have taught in the public schools of the State; some having taught more than 20 years. It is safe to say that the average number of years taught by the Normal graduates is at least three, making the total of three thousand years of teaching for one person. In addition to the work of the Normal graduate as a teacher, she stands always for improved school conditions. In the great advance in school work in general in Louisiana, no influence has contributed more than has the Normal School and its graduates. The science of good schools being the real mission of the Normal, this influence will be felt always. Officers of the Alumni Association. President. Secretary. Treasurer. 1894 Miss Bessie Russell..
