the first homo which she and Mr. Beechor
had years ago in the west. The bed

make the bed nn one side first, then go
out on tho veranda, raino a window,
reach in and make the bed on the other
sldo. Not such very troublesome work

It. The little kitchen, partitioned off
from the veranda, was jiiHt' large enough
to allow a passage between the cooking

For nearly seven years thia was our

Yet, one thing is wantlug, aud that Is
more room for student., and more room
eiscla)ly for the accouuuodaUon of
visitors aud friends on such occasion

attention to this our state iusUtuUou,
let them visit us aud take a view of tbe
surroundings, and we venture the asser
tion that they will then declare that
this is the moet healthful and beautiful
situation for the state normal school
that cnu be found in our rich aud fer

the welI-leaatHl audience have now
returned to their homea, and in those
