Supt E B Sherman of Schuyler
has served this week as special lecturer
and instructor in the subject of reading
continuing the work begun last week by
Mr McMurray Mr Sherman has de
voted one period each forenoon to an ex
position of the principles upon which
good reading depends while each after
noon he has conducted classes in the
subject much as any teacher would be
called upon to do The work through
out has proved helpful and inspiring all
feeling that they have derived great
good from his instruction
The lecture by Professor A McMurray
of Chicago last Friday night at the M
E church drew but a small audience
but its excellence deserved a much larg
er hearing Mr McMurrays subject
was The Better Personality or as it
proved Charles Dickens the novelist
as an educator The speakers delivery
was faultless and his thoughts as to
what should constitute sound public
school teaching were enriched by many
illustrations and much humor The
readings from Nicholas Nickleby were
well rendered and greatly enjoyed Mr
McMurrys presence at the normal
meant much to the profit and enjoyment
of the weeks work
An excellent music program was
rendered this morning at the chapel
