TWENTY SECOND YEAR
Increased Attendance Solid Interest
This closes the first month of the Mo
Cook Junior Normal School and results
are reaching expectations in many re
spects and justifying the hopes of the
states educational department in the
establishment of these summer schools
Tho attendance has increased about fif
teen this week and tho interest of the
pupils in the normal Las settled down to
a solid basis which isgiving tho best re
suits and is very satisfactory- to those
instructing
Rev C R Betts of the Baptist church
addressed the normal at the chapel hour
Thursday
Tho first concert by tho music depart
ment of tho normal will be given some
time about the close of July The Tri
bune has assurances that it will be
worth while
James the Knocker has finally decided
not to be identified officially with the
McCook Junior Normal School How
ever ten teachers from Hitchcock county
re in attendance upon the normal
jLho next lecture will be given by Dr
W a Clark president of tho Peru
State ljormal School He will be with
us July 03th and 14th His addresses
will bo on the attitude of the junior
normal to tho parent institution at Peru
and on pedagogicul topics
Miss Edna D Bulbck secretary of the
State Library Commission will spend
one whole week at tho normal sometime
during the session and will speak each
day of some aspect of the library work
how to select books how to follow a
regular and systematic course of read
ing and kindred subjects
A patriotic program was given this
morning in tho chapel The children
from Mrs Brindleys model school gave
a salute to the flag together with a
song and there were two recitations be
sides The whole school under the
leadership of Mr Bradford sang four
patriotic selections Miss OConnell
road the Declaration of Independence
and A O Thomas and G H Thomas
spoke briefly
The address by Deputy State Supt
McBrien in the assemby room last Fri
day evening on the subject of Abraham
Lincoln was appreciated by all wno
heard it Mr MoBrien has made a spe
cial study of American history lately
and of the life of Abraham Lincoln in
particular and in a short address gives
some very interesting and entertaining
thoughts of that great and glorious
character in our history There was a
special music program under direction
of Prof Bradford of the music depart
ment of the school
The state educational department is
determined as far as possible to recog
nize the work of the junior normals and
the different county superintendents
have fallen in line with this expressed
purpose of the state superintendent
Credits secured in the McCook Junior
Normal School will be recognized by the
county superintendentsupon whom their
claims will be specially urged This is
proper and just Those who go to the
expense and labor of attending the ses
sions of the normal have special claims
for recognition by those employing
teachers
Dean Fordyce of the Wesleyan Uni
versity Lincoln was with the normal
two days of this week Monday in the
chapel hour and following period he
spoke to the normalites on the Physi
cal Nature of the Child In the even
ing he continued the subject in a set
address which- was enjoyed for its in
struction and interest generally The
Dean is an expert on the subject of child
nature and his words have great weight
Tuesday morning at the chapel period
he continued and finished the topic
In the afternoon he spoke before the
class in elemental agriculture His re
marks were in the line of a nature study
and he used a chloroformed chicken as
an object lesson All his appearances
before the normal were very helpful and
profitable

Paralyzed Havelock Club and Fans
Last Friday afternoon McCook fairly
paralyzed the Havelock baseball team
on the local diamond and the Havelock
fans aro still under the doctors care
Havelock had been playing winning
ball and a stiff game was expected
The result of the game however indi
cated that the visiting brethren were
fairly out classed McCook seemed to
have no difficulty in finding the ball
notwithstanding three pitchers were in
turn occupied The box for- the visit
ors Jones who was with McCook last
season was pounded unmercifully and
Scheffele and Morrison who went into
thebox in the sixth and eighth innings
respectively met a similar fate Schopp
and Bender were McCook s battery from
start to finish and the visitors only made
four hits off Schopp during the entire
game the locals making sixteen off the
trio who occupied the box for the visit
ors The balloon went up in the fifth
inning for Havelock and McCook scored
ten times O my countrymen it was
awful The locals were all arrayed in
their batting clothes and everybody
save Converse scored from one to four
times It was the completest and most
unpleasant surprise Havelock has had
this season and there was no malice
aforethought on the part of the locals
The particulars are painfully as follows
