JUNIOR NORMAL SCHOOL NOTESg
Misfortune seems to be pursuing the
Junior Normal entertainment course
First Kern failed to come at all sec
ond the opera house where the enter
tainments were to be held burned then
the university people failed to measure
up to expectations and lastly at a crit
ical time at the beginning of the Sun
day night concert the lights went out
all of which could not be helped and
may be only the promise of a happy end
ing
Word was received from the Lincoln
headquarters that an additional attrac
tion will be added to the McCook course
to make up for Kerns failure to come
and the disappointment occasioned by
the University Glee Club
Supt J L McBrien who is in Cali
fornia attending the N E A meeting at
Los Angeles has sent greetings on his
journey to the Junior Normal School
The new enrollments this week bring
tho total registration up to 140 Among
the teachers who enrolled Monday are
Edna Campbell of Parks Lela Manley
of Holdrege Earl Glandon of McCook
Una Richards of Benkelman Ethel
Cooke of Oxford and Inez Walker of
Stratton
The regular state examinations for
county certificates will be held at the
Junior Normal School next Friday and
Saturday July 19 and 20
Mis3 Nellie E Dick superintendent
of Chase county came down from Wau
neta Tuesday and stayed a few days of
ficially at the School
W M Rowley a teacher from Chase
county was called to Wauneta Tues
day by the death of an old time friend
It is possible he may not be able to re
turn
Miss Julia Nolan of Cambridge a
Frontier county teacher and a former
Junior Normal student was a visitor
Monday
The usual Friday morning music pro
gram was of an interesting character
Miss Kathryn Sawyer sang Miss Vir
ginia Heckman played and Mrs Thomas
and Mrs Mills rendered a piano duet
In addition there were a number of
school songs Mr E E Magee lately
superintendent of the Ashland schools
and in other years a Junior Normal
School instructor at Valentine North
Platte and Holdrege was present and
extended cordial greetings and en
couragement to the teachers that work
work here His address was thoroughly
appreciated
The concert by the Nebraska Concert
Company last Saturday night had to be
given in the Methodist church on ac
count of the burning of tho Bixler
opera house It was a disappointment
to the teachers and people generally be
cause much had been expected in the
way of enthusing music from this group
of eight young college men represen
tatives of the University of Nebraska
Glee Club It is true that their program
could Dot be rendered as planned since
the settings of a stage could not be used
A church rostrum is ill adapted for
minstrelsy and light opera Neverthe
less tho company lacked coherence and
unity of purpoao and definitones3 of aim
as well as good voices In furthar ex
tenuation of thoir poor work it may bo
said that they loft North Platte early
Saturday morning travoling all day and
reaching hero on belated Number 5 Tho
program of sacred music which was
renderod at the Methodist church at
tho union meeting Sunday night was an
improvement ovor thoir work of the eve
ning before Local talent assisted tho
young men Tho solos by Mr B B

joyed A largo audience was in atten
dance
