Large Attendance at Normal.
The Oregon State Normal school
opened on its second term this week
with a large attendance, says the
Journal correspondent. The school
has been steadily growing in scholar
ship for the last four years. Imme
diately following the placing of the
school upon a purely normal basis
the attendance dropped off consider
ably, those forming the commercial
course and advanced course being
compelled to enter other schools. It
was thought that better returns would
be made by having a school strictly
for teachers, and such is the course at
the present time, and has been for
several years. It has taken con
siderable work and time to place the
school on an increasing basis in
attendance, bat it is stated that much
better results are noticeable in the
efficiency of the instruction for
teachers' work under the new system.
The school this year numbers some CO
more students than last year, and
much satisfaction is expressed with
Stallion For Service.
