This year the class num bers forty and we have a very tine class in the Scientific Course. Three of those who completed the Teachers Course last year are in the Scientific class this year. - It has been our aim ever since being connected with the Normal. School to build a school de voted to the interest of the people. We have tried to make the work practical and thorough, knowing that it is only that knowledge which 3Tou can use that is worthy of obtaining and laboring for. It is the aim of this school to adapt itself to the wants of a progressive peo ple. We believe in positive knowledge and hence our organization and efforts are directed to this end. Thousands of young men and women would take advantage of school had they the means and proper encourage mentsome would enter school but they. feel delicate about doing so from the fact that their knowledge of text books is limited and their opportunities have not been of such character " as would permit them to take' advantage to Ill'suchTVoiu education tions are met here. Our doorsftlPtfei1 to all who desire a better education ABRAHAM LINCOLN. Delivered at Normal Oratorical Contest, 1890, oy jonn v. rearsou. I have selected as the subject of my address, to-night, the patient life and pathetic death of Abraham Lincoln; a man who, from the humblest walks of life, rose to be the central figure in one of the most stupendous' struggles of Christendom; a man whol though at first vested with no more power than any one among us here to-night, finally wielded a scepter so potent as to enable him to free, with one stroke of his pen, four millions of slaves; finally guides a force so irresistable and far-reaching as to crush the power of half a continent and shape the future destin v of the grandest nation on earth. I wish to say to you, ladies and gen tlemen, tnat, although 1 am a democrat house in a few davs. oi democrats, mere is not a iepublican among you who has more respect for the first republican president than I, there is not a republican among you who honors the memorv of Abraham incoln more than 1. Among the great est men of our history I place him, not next to Washington, but beside him. Abraham Lincoln was the grandest, the truest, the most unselfish man that ever occupied our presidential chair. While the subject in hand the grandeur of mind, consumate state- survive even when the final history of the mighty nation he served so well is a story of the past; when the Athens of modern times shall be a memory and its Home shall be no more. On the tablet of glory beside the name of ashington is written in letters of fire, Abraham Lincoln, in our hearts, where we cherish the remembrance of the grand Washington, we have en shrined the memory of the patient Lincoln. He was "Of the people and for the people," and the people will see that honor is given to whom honor is due. A BUSINESS EDUCATION. BOARD OF DIKECTOHS. What is meant by this?

Practical writing is, therefore, a style which is suited to the purposes of busi ness. The requirements of business writing are: (1) It must be rapidly writ ten without shade or flourish. (2) It must be easily read. (3) It must look well. Most persons find, when they begin business life, that the style which they acquired in school will not meet the re quirements of the office. The" copy book hand, slow, heavy and cramped, which did service so long when rapidity was not essential, must now be dis carded and : a more easy, rapid and graceful style acquired. This should not be so. The fault lies with the teacher. Let teachers prepare them selves, for their duty in this is as they do in other subjects which they are to teach. Let the young man or young woman who-is looking forward to a suc cessful business life, make this first pre paratory step and acquire a rapid, legible, easy hand-writing.
