JUNIOR NORMAL
WAS A SUCCESS.
SUPERINTENDENT I'ICKNEY PROUD 01
WORK ACCOMPLISHED.
BURKETT AND NORRIS LECTURE
*
Alucli Credit Is Due II. M. Plckney For
Ills Untiring Efforts in Making the
Normal What It Is. Teachers
Arc iMore Than Satisfied.
The second session of the State
Junior Normal at Broken Bow
closed last week , leaving all who
had any connection with it well
satisfied with the work of the six
weeks. At the beginning of the
term , a great deal of disappoint
ment was felt because of the ab
sence of Dean Fordycc , , who
was Superintendent last year.and
who has become so well and fav
orable known in educational cir
cles here by his repeated labors
in the County Institute. But
whatever dissatisfaction on this
account may have been prevalent
in the beginning of the term just
closed , it was speedily overcome
by the masterly elTorts of Dr. W.
A. Clark , who had been secured
to take his place this year.
Those present who have had ex
perience in schools of like size
and character express themselves
in terms of the strongest admira
tion at the speed with which the
Normal was placed on a working
basis. Only the first half day
was spent in the work of regis
tration and organization. The
afternoon of the opening day was
a half-day of full and genuine
school work.
The faculty of the Junior Nor
mal was largely the same as last
year , the changes being as fal
lows : Prof. Van Orsdel and Miss
Abbott were not here , and Prof.
Mills of Ravenna , and Prof. L.
loruett of this place were added.
Miss Burley's work was some
what different from that of last
yearand perhaps a little heavier ;
but her enthusiasm for her pu
pils was unchanged , unless possi
bly intensified. Her instruction
in drawing were most noticeably
advantageous , and it is safe to
say that never in the history of
the county have so many good
specimens of free-hand drawing
been submitted by the teachers
'
in any year. Her'work in school
methods and devices , while not
so immediately of benefit , will
certainly prove of inestimable
value to the schools of the coun
ty in the coming months and
years.
Prof. Howe also did a magnifi ?
cent work for the schools of the
county in his presentations of the
bourse of Study , with practical
nstructions and illustrations of
ts proper use. The teachers
who took advantage of this op
portunity have put themselves
nto line for the most progressive
work , in greater measure than
perhaps by any other class offer
ed in the school.
For the more advanced teach
ers , the instructions in psycholo
gy by Dr. Clark , in botany , phys-
cs and literature by Prof. Mcln-
dee , in algebra and geometry by
Prof. Mills , all were of immense
practical benefit. In book keep-
ng and penmanship , the profici
ency of Prof. Cornell made the
progress more rapid than could
) ossibly have been expected.
( Continued next week. )

ner in which she single handed
