---------- Normal Messenger - 1900 September
---------- 4 The Normal Messenger The office of the principal
will be open at 9 o'clock, Wednesday morning', for the registration
of students. Old students are urged to register early, and it is hoped
that each one will consider himself or herself a special committee to see
that every new student is given a warm welcome, introduced to other
students and rapidly made familiar with the appointments of the building
and the general workings of the institution. It is hoped that every new
student will come with some well formed idea of the work which he wishes
to pursue. This will enable him to receive prompt and intelligent
classification and enter upon his regular work at once. It is
further hoped that every new student will come with a fixed purpose to
complete some definite course of study. This will not only insure thorough
training to the student but it will add strength and character to the
already high standard of work done by the school. New students who have
not yet arranged for boarding places can do so by consulting the
principal of the school. Good board can be secured in private homes at
prices ranging from $3 to $4 per week. FACULTY The faculty for the
coming school year will be composed of twelve members, of these, six
remain from the old faculty while six come in as new members. Those
remaining from last year are: Edward T. Mathes, Principal; John T.
Forrest, mathematics; Francis W. Eply, sciences; Robert B. Vaile,
mathematics and sciences; Ida A. Baker, English and vocal music;
Catherine Montgomery, critic teacher, primary grades. The new members
come to our institution with high and valuable experience. Prof.

---------- 10 The Normal Messenger GENERAL ITEMS The members of
the Young Womens' Christian Association are manifesting a
commendable interest in the welfare and comfort of the new
students. They are arranging to meet them as they arrive in the city and
to assist them in getting settled in pleasant quarters. There are
evidences at hand already that society spirit has not waned during
vacation, and excellent programs are assured for the first meetings of
the societies. Prof. F. W. Eply has spent much time during vacation
revising the course of work in physics for the coming year. A larger
number of pupils will be admitted to the Model School this coming year
than was accepted last year, and the work of the school will be based
upon the new course of study as it has been outlined by the State Board
of Education. Miss Hattie Dellinger, the newly elected editor of the
MESSENGER, will assume her duties with the next issue of the magazine.
The new library will be a delightful room for study. It is thoroughly
lighted with north light and has ample accommodations for 80 students.
The large white house across the street from the Normal School will be in
charge of Mrs. Mary Anderson during the coming year. This home provides a
pleasant boarding place for young ladies who attend the Normal School.
Several applications have already been received, and those wishing a place
near the Normal School should make prompt inquiry. ( The Summer School
was a success. The attendance was good for the opening session, and the
interest manifested was excellent. The 60 magazines and journals selected
for the reading tables represent the best literature of the day, and it
is a rare treat to have free access to these tables. A consignment of
nearly two hundred volumes has been received for the library, and a
second shipment is expected in a few days. It is expected that 1,000
volumes will be added to the library during the year.
