About 'Live weeks ago a course of ten lessons in cooking was offered to the seniors. The number of applicants was large. The apparatus available was small and only eighteen of the young ladies could be admitted. As Mr. Pitman expressed it, the eighteen who would probably have need the did not give the circumstancesj of such knowledge were selected. We hope he has made no mistake in his choice. As the school grows older, we feel that there is less distinction between the Senior and Junior classes. We hope, however, that our successors will do even more than we have been able to accomplish in eliminating class distinction. Some of the best means are the friendly meetings in the gymnasium, and the receptions. The establishment of a dormi- tory would be helpful in bringing about close relationship between the classes. May Salem Normal School soon have one! The Salem Normal School has been selected by the Board of Education as one of the normal schools in which an advanced course for those specializing in upper grade Work shall be established. Four of the former graduates of the school have taken advantage of the course this year, and we hope that many of the class of 1914 will return to profit by the fine courses offered. There seems to be a growing demand for specialists in upper grade Work, particularly since the State Board favors having the two years' course 'fit students only for the 'first six grades. There is thus an opening left for those specially fitted for the seventh and eighth grades. Think it over-Seniors.
