THE NORIVI ATQLETICSO Up to the present time the students seem to have been too much occupied with their regular class work to do anything in an organiz- ed way along the line of athletics. It is the purpose of the students, howevei, t0 ttget busy. They believe in physical development as well as mental development, and the various athletic games and contests are an important factor in this physical development. The motto 'is HMeus sana in same corpore? 4 The girls in the Normal have been busy for the past month prac- ticing several games of the nature of and leading up to basket ball un- der the able direction of Miss Wilcox, our physical directer. There is material for an exceptional baSket ball team. There will be four good class teams and we ex pect many exciting games. The outlook for the boys is not so promising as their number is limited and most of them are too heavily loaded with theirxregular wcirk to give much time to the subject of basket ball, but the equestioniwill be decided in the new future. We think that we have material for a. good team and if the boys go in for basket ball they will certainly make a creditable showing. The Physical Training Course not only consists of Sweedish drills, .but iucludes a careful study of the theory of gymnastics With practice . teaching both in the training school and gymnasium. .. A one hour course is given in physiology, the first semester being fidevoted t0 kinesiology and such talks on moral questions as may be given high school students, the secand eemester t0 physiology. . When the student completes the c01rse she will be preiicient in , the art of teaching gymnastics, physiology and games suited to the i schoolroom, gym nasium land playground. -

9! a; 1f: r4... ' e! , thlnrtl T HE NORM The Nbrmals. y ttThe Normals? the menis literery society of the Normal, have or- ganized for the yeafs work by the election of the following ofiicers for the first semester: Jos. F. Bogynska, president; Frank Sturgill, vice president; Tom L. Ostein, secretary; John Bogynska, treasurer. The work of the society is under the supervision of Prof. Ostein, 0f the department of mathematics, and is planned with a view to of- fer training to its members in parliamentary practice and debate. For each meeting certain members are named to offer and defend some resolution before the society, notice of such resolution being given be- forehand so that all members who so desire may prepare themselves to speak on the resolution. The mover 0f the resolution offers argument in its support, after which any member may speak pro or con, or move to amend or may handle the resolution in any way consistent with parliamentary practice, all subsidary motions, and the resolution it- self, either as originally introduced 01' as amended, to7 be disposed of by vote of the society. This plan gives all the advantage of, the ordi- nary formal debate and in addition to this offers every opportunity for parliamentary practice. . The membeis are taking held of the work with an interest that bespeaks success. At the last meeting Mr. Kraus introduced a resolu- tion to abolish the spelling book from the public schools; and Mr. Pe- tersen a resolution favoring the consolidation of rural schools. These resolutions were warmly debated by different members of the society, and bath passed as originally in troduced. The boys are not neglecting the social side. They gave a very en- joyable party at the gym. to the students, the faculty, and a few invi- tei guests. i Let me but do my work from day to day, In field or forest, at desk or 100m, In roaring market place or tranquil room; Let me but find it in my heart to say When vagrant wishes beckon me astray, iiThis is my work: my blessing, not my doom; Of all who live, I am the one by whom This work can best be done in the right way. Then shall I see it not too great, nor small, To suit my Spirit and LO prove my powers; Then shall I cheerful greet the laboring hours, And cheerful turn, when the long shadows fall At eventide, to play and love and rest, V I know for me no work is best.
