This excursion, the first ever i
made by Portland teachers to
Monmouth, served to establish a
close connection between them
and the Normal. .
Mrs. Dawson and Miss Dawson
entertained the faculty members
in honor of Miss Davis Saturday
night. Many novel and inter
esting games and contests filled
the evening with pleasure for the j
guests. The principal feature of
the contests was the hemming of
napkins by the gentlemen of the
faculty. The house was pro
fusely decorated with roses as
were the serving tables at which
the guests were seated. Miss
Ruby Shearer, a former faculty
member, was an out of town
guest.
Last Thursday evening at
seven Mr. M. S. Pittman was
host at dinner in the Dormitory
in honor of Miss Davis. The
table was centered by a beautiful
bank of roses and the rose
scheme was carried out in the
place cards. At the close of the
dinner groups of girls from the
Dormitory enacted a pretty cere
mony as a glimpse of the future.
Following this were toasts re
sponded to by President Acker
man, Mr. Gentle, Miss Parrott,
Miss Kennon and Miss Taylor,
all expressing some phase of life
past and future for the honor
guest. A charming serenade
was the fitting conclusion to the
dinner. Later in the evening
Mr. Pittman and Miss Arbuthnot
gave some clever impromptu
readings. Resides the faculty,
Mr. I'ittman'a guests were, Mrs.
Lund, of Corvallis, Mr. and Mrs.
Seymour, of Dallas, Miss Mc
('oskey, Miss Doughty and Mr.
Keezle.
Tuesday morning the Honor
able J. D. Lee, who first intro
duced into the legislature the
resolution for Normal schools in
Oregon, was a speaker during
the chHel period. He recalled
pioneer days when Monmouth
was yet scarcely on the map, and
traced through the history of the
Normal school movement in Ore
gon. He further gave the stu
dents of his life experience and
congratulated them upon their
opportunity in being here. He
was enthusiastically applauded
by tu, whoU, 8tU(pnt 1)()dy
Monday night the student body
enjoyed an informal dance from
eight until ten. There was no
special music but the girls very
kindly shared the responsibility
for t he music. A number of the
vis'ting Grange people dropped
in during the evening to watch '
the good time.. President and
Mrs. Ackerman and Mr. and
Mrs. Butler, were patrons and
patronesses.

Honorable C. E. Spence, State
Master of the Grange, responded
to those addresses. Me was fol-
lowed by Mr. II. A. Darnell,
State Lecturer for the Grange,
and by Mrs. Waldo. A general,
spirit of geneality and good
fellowship pervaded the whole
gathering.
For the past week, the stu
dents of the Domestic Science
Department of the Normal, have
been making a practical applica
tion of their training. Each class
is divided into groups of three or
four students and each group is
responsible for the planning and
serving of a luncheon or dinner
for ten people. Not only must
the meals ba well-cooked and
served in an attractive manner,
but they must be well balanced
in regard to food values and food
requirements. The entire cost
of each dinner for the ten people
must not exceed one dollar and
a half. For one who has not
planned a dinner for this limited
cost, such an undertaking would
seem to be an impossibility, -yet
it has peen proved that a nourish
ing and very attractive meal can
be served for this amount. In
the planning of these menus, the
students receive invaluable les
sons in economy and manage
ment. The following menu was
served at one dinner: First
course, asparagus salad and
cheese straws. Second course,
beef croquettes, green peas,
potatoes au gratin, orange mar
malade, and Parker house rolls.
Third course, strawberry whip,
lady-fingers, coffee, mints.
"Trial by Jury" a one-act
comic opera by Gilbert and Sulli
van was presented Tuesday night
in the Normal chape before near
ly five hundred people, a large
number of whom were members! Weals. President Kerr was en
of the State Grange in whose thusiastically cheered by , the
honor the concert was given.
The program was in two parts,
the first of which was an Orches
tral Prelude. In this, two num
bers were given by the Training
School Orchestra, two by the 0.
IN. S. Orchestra and two by the!countt'd also some interesting ex-
combined orchestras. The effects

were worthy of the applause
which they received so generous
ly. Mr. Bell, the Foreman of the
Jury and his brother Jurymen
were effective in their chorus
work and acting. One of the
most charming features of the
performance was the dance of
the Bridesmaids who were gowned
very becomingly in various blend
ing shades of pink" and the Maid
of Honor in blue. Their graceful
dancing with garlands of . roses
and their figure forming was in
deed pretty and shared with the
singing in the hearty applause.
Miss Mabel Johnson's work as
accompanist deserves mention
also.
Miss Mary Hoham, director of
the music and sponsor for the
concert showed clearly her organ
izing and directing ability in pre
senting such a finished perform
ance. To Miss Laura Taylor of
the Physical Education Depart
ment belongs the credit for the
graceful dancing and perform
ance of the Bridesmaids.
' Wednesday morning the session
of the State Grange adjourned to
attend the chapel exercises of the
Normal. After the customary
opening exercises, Mr. Spence,
who is not only Master of the
State Grange but also a regent of
the school, spoke very interest
ingly. He compared the present
flourishing student body with its
enthusiastic spirit to the one he
visited just before the school was
disorganized. Following Mr.
Spence came President Kerr of
the Oregon Agricultural College
who spoke with intense earnest
ness on the absolute necessity of
having trained teachers in our
schools. He said that the teach
ers were the mainstay of democ
racy and the means of assimilat
ing the enormous foreign popula
tion of the United States. He
expressed himself, furthermore,
as being in intense sympathy
with the Normal School and its
students. Mrs. Waldo spoke with
unusuai charm of the Brother
Lord of Main and emphasized
again in her gracious way the use
of the teacher in molding the
lives of boys and girls. She re-
