time This has been a matter of general remark Tho work which will be done will cover a large scope but vis itors are surprised at the thoroughness with which details are treated by the instructors Prof A O Thomas proposes to introduce his Botany class to one hundred varieties of plant life and when one talks with him tho feeling is that this introduction will mean a thorough acquaintance Prof G II Thomas will take tho History class through e complete review of TJ S History This means a great deal more than the handling of the text book There is a distinct historical feeling manifest in the work of this class and interesting histori cal side lights are thrown upon the subject and the causal forces underlying tho period are brought out in a way to make it lived before tho imagination of the student The writer feels thau the work of this class will make the capa ble teacher a philosophical student of history The visitors from abroad during the first week of the school were Hon W E Andrews of Wash ington D C Auditor for tho Treasury Deputy State Supt J L McBrien and Rev L P Luddon of Lincoln The lecture of Mr An drews on Wednesday afternoon on Our Common School and his lecture

practical benefit to tho teacher It exhibited the actual maguitutj of tho public school prob lem in this country Mr McBrien spent Thurs day in the school making a thorough examina tion of all the departments of its work of which he spoke in detail in tho afternoon Mr Mc Brien expressed the greatest pleasure in the complete systematization of the work so early in the term He is a pleasing and forceful speaker and keyed up a notch higher the en thusiasm already aroused by the teachers of the school Rev Luddon preached Sunday even ing and on Monday he addressed tho teachers on Ideas and Ideals and in tho evening lectured before the teachers and citizens on the subject Individuality This was a strong lecture The second week opened with six ad ditional students and four more came in
