Helen had to 5 of retire, for the Oregon Normal School rules were made to safe- f guard the health of the students. yearn It had been a strenuous day. Helen checked up her accom- plished tasks for the next day and turned out the light. Her head soon touched the pillow but her mind was wakeful and in vain she commanded her rebellious thoughts to cease as she said, Sleep! Rest! Tomorrow you must be within the door of your class room at eight o'clock by railroad time, with a refreshing countenance, a pleasing manner, power to concentrate and with all demands fulfilled for your classesf' But sleep did not come.

She thought of the attainments of the faculty members and she realized that hard work and unfailing responsibility were their common ladders to success. Then she analyzed them in her honest way thus: President Ackerman, a man who never shirks duty for pleasure, who is always on time, reigns over the Normal students with fatherly love, and firm.ness. He has not only executive ability but is one of the best teachers that ever was known. He has brought the Oregon 'Normal to the front until its capacity is insufficient for the great throng of teachersfi Mr, Butler, the instructor of History and Civics, is a man who gives us a welcome when we come to Monmouth. His genial smile gives one a pleasing initiation into Monmouth and Oregon's Normal School. From the very first we are glad that he is here and in the class room his lectures are so clear, instructive, forcible at all times that-we are prone to believe that large bodies are conducive to success.'7 . A vision of Mr. Evenden7s powerful physique next filled her thoughts. How strange, she thought, that he teaches pedagogy, for he seems built for athletics. She then recalled that all the students look up 'LO him HS 3 model of excellence in the teaching profession. 17 9465? EQ
