The recognition of Kansas poetry by the teachers of the state reflects equal honor upon themselves and the poets. The success of the Salute is now assured, for not only has she called forth plaudits from the faculty and students, but she has awakened the poetic muse.

The divine afflatus has entered into one of our number and the eloquent tribute decorating our first page is the result. Long live the writer of such noble verse, and long live the object of his adoration. STUDENTS SALUTE. JTIII.IS1IKD WKKKl.Y KY THE Studentta Subtle rubllHhlni Kansas Statu Xohmai. School, Wai.tkk A.

0. GRAHAM, Dealer in UlBiFi 1) IIUUU) The many commendations of the Salute received from the Alumni and former students are very encouraging. It is with a certain sense of satisfaction that we realize that our friends feel that we are filling a useful and important sphere, and we desire to thank them heartily for their words of approval. At a meeting of the Normal oratorical association last Thursday the delegates to the inter-collegiate association were instructed to vote against the proposition to divide tht association into sections. This is in accordance with the sentiment as expressed in the Salute last week.

We commend the action. ART. Ill, -MEMBERSHIP. Sec. 1.

FIRS! Ilil BANK. If a Normal student were, asked upon liis return home what he most liked in connection with his life here, he would probably say that it was the spirit of the school. If asked to define what he meant by the spirit of the Normal he might find it difficult. The spirit of the Kansas State Normal School, like the subtle essence of some sweet flower, is easy to feel but hard to define. A compound of various qualities, its elements are elusive, its analysis difficult.

Yet so potent is its iufiuencc that not an individual spends the brief space of a term of school here, but is affected by it. The effects it produces are many and various, but unmistakable. A study of these effects may reveal its distinctive qualities. It is an admitted fact that the only introduction needed of one Normal student to another, meet wherever they may, is the statement that he is a Normalite or has been one. A sense of social caste is foreign to Normal life.

Though some may be of finer mould than their less fortunate brothers, yet all are common clay from the hand of the same Potter. Genuine democracy is then a distinctive characteristic of this pervading spirit. But something more potent, perhaps more characteristic, in Normal life than this clement of pure democracy is a certain striving for the realization of high ideals, a desire for a state yet unattained in all that is good and pure, a longing for a higher culture, using culture in its generic and better sense genuine, complete development of all the faculties, mental, moral and physical. These then are the chief characteristics of this Normal spirit, an element of earnest endeavor combined with the charity and justice of a true democratic feeling. It is this that permeates and becomes the life of the school, influencing for better all who come within its scope, making absent students desire to return and causing those who have been here long to be sorry when they leave.

"A PKOPiiKT is not without honor save in his own country." If this be true, the critic who has made poet synonymous with prophet must be greatly in error. Witness the fact that Kansas poets and poetry had no small part in the Kansas Emporia, Kansas. W. II. BROOKS, Tho Leading Grocer.
