LITERARY SOCIETIES
This is an important feature in educational work and will
have the personal attention of the faculty.
NORMALISM
Normalism is much abused. We shall not give an extended
treatise on it here. True Normalism does not consist of short
terms and superficial work as many suppose. There is much socalled
Normal work that isn't Normal. In dealing with every subject
Normalism emphasizes the three phases of mind-growth: Acquisition,
Reflection and Expression. The Neches Normal Institute will
advocate and practice this system.
LECTURES
We are pleased to announce that Mr. Lawrence B. Elrod, a
practical chemist, has agreed to visit us once a month during the
session and deliver illustrated lectures in chemistry. The object
of these lectures will not be so much to teach chemistry as to
impress great moral truths in a philosophical way. Mr. Elrod is a
master in this line. He will use ample apparatus and will delight
the children as well as the other ones. His experiments will
unfold some of the hidden secrets of nature and thereby create on
the part of the pupils and others a thirst for more knowledge and
a desire for independent personal investigation. It will have a
tendency to draw the minds of young people away from the frivolities
of life and lead them to something more substantial.
IF YOU
want an education, come here. We shall do our best for you in
price and training.
