very numerous manner. Excellont Paks were given by Supt. Simmons, Prof. Baker, Rev. Cooper of Almena, cad others.

One of the most affecting scenes it has yet been our lot to witness was enacted on Thursday afternoon, when, on behalf of the members of the institute just closed, Dr. J. II. Ely presented to Miss Kiner a beautiful casle and autograph album containing the autographs of nearly every member. Miss Kiner W88 very much affected and when she had concluded her reply there WaS scarcely a dry eye in the house.

The citizens of Norton again gave proof of their liberal patronage for the cause of education. The opera house Was filled to overflowing at the entertainment given by the normal last evening. Everyone expressed himself amply repaid for his money. and time. Our Normal "Time is fleeting" said the poet Longfellow in one of the grandest Poems in the English language; and how true it 19! The four weeks of our Normal Institute session already past! It scarcely seems possible that time could fly SO quickly.

"We take no note of time but by its loss," is but too true. Normal has come and passed like a seeming day. It lives in our memories as brigha oasis in the dreary desert of a teachers weary routine. It has passed -passed forever, and we are the better for having been here. Kansas Normals are always full; and Norton county Normals are especially so.

The Institute of last year was highly successfull; it was the best one ever held in the county, up to that time. But the normal just past was the best one ever held in western Kansas. We're proud of our county-prond our Normals--and proud of our teacners, who have so successfully labored to place themselves--and their county with them -where they now are: in the front rank. Why is our Normal a success? Because it is a success! The enrollment is greater than has ever before beon reached in this part ofthe state. Greater interest has been manifested; more teachers are attending, and better work has been done than ever before.
