The Normal. Mr. Editor: As there has not been very much said about the Decatnr Normal a few statements of its prosperity may interest some of the many readers of your paper. There are now over ninety students in attendance and the number is still increasing, so it is expected there will be over one hundred, making it the largest county normal in the State. The reason for this large attendance is, the school is instructed by energetic workers, instructors who wish to see an advancement made in the great work of education. Their methods of teaching are such that any one who has a desire to learn can readily do so. All the subjects are exhausted before another is commenced. The teachers’ training class especially is one which should interest every parent in the county. This is conducted by the superintendent, and by his method of presenting the work it is plainly seen that his object is to get the teachers of Adams county out of the old rut of folly and place them on the rock of life and energy. He is urging them on through the path of a good teacher, so that when they enter their school next winter they may not be afraid that their work will dissatisfy their pupils and patrons of the schools in which they may teach. I hope that every student will follow the examples and teachings of the instructors of the normal and by so doing they will find themselves useful in this world and obtain a crown in the end. A Student. x Yow Look Remarkably Well. “You look remarkably well, Mrs. Brown. Have you recovered from that bad cough which troubled you so long ?” “0, yes, entirely.” “What did you take for it ?” “Dr. Thomas’ Eclectric Oil. It’s perfectly splendid. Two bottles and a half set me all right. I notice that you are a little hoarse, why not try the same remedy?” He did and was cured.
