utye (Jputorr SCIENCE J 1,0- THE RELATION of the scientific to the practical has been sufficiently realized to Rive the science course a prominent place in our curriculum. Not only is its aim to create an appreciation for our complex and wonderful life, but to introduce the scientific method as a stepping-stone for a successful vocation.

(Jpuiurr Fine THE time has come at last when the educational world realizes that complete courses in music and drawing have added a great charm as well as value to educational work. No school is complete without a thorough course in music or drawing. Our Normal School is exceptionally well-equipped for training in these two lines. The music department is under the skillful direction of Miss Hannah M. CundifT. a very energetic and enthusiastic person who spares no efforts to create a love for good music. Mias Ropes, genial in her persistent efforts, has been assistant in the Training Department for the past three years. A false note is her abomination but a good lesson is her delight. The one great aim of the drawing teachers, the Misses Moulton and Smith, is to develop not only a skill in drawing but a feeling in some degree for art itself. The Drawing Department is under the wise direction of Miss Moulton. Her ways are ways of pleasantness and all her paths are peace. The consensus of opinion of the students in Miss Nellie Adams Smith’s classes is. knowledge is pleasant under a happy-hearted teacher when wisdom, justice, and judgment prevail. HANNAH M.
