THE NORMAL RECORD. through the dusky inroads of ignorance, to better customs and civilization. Who doubts that this may have been God's plan of civilizing and Christianizing the world; that the original actors in this perpetual drama were the Puritans, who left their peaceless homes in England; who doubts that July 4, 1776, marked the close of the first act, and the different epochs in our country's history, with the attendant strides in progress, are changes in the scenes of this drama of the reality of an ideal life on earth, in which the Maker of the Universe is the patient stage director. The gallant boys in blue were selected and have acted well their part. The next act may begin with the mustering into service of the teachers of the land. The lecture course has come upon us this year like the advent of a new comet; it attracts attention by the mere mention of the lecturer or his subject; it leaves the mind illumined by a light which will be a refreshing contrast to the darkness which did prevail in regard to these particular subjects. The students should show their appreciation by cheerful attendance. We should do our part to convince the Board of Trustees that this will not be an experiment but a permanent factor in the Normal. It required no little effort on the part of our President to get the required authority to make these educational Klondykes entirely free to the student. He who chooses to remain away robs himself and indirectly the schools he may teach, of the magnificent influence of a few of the greatest intellectual and moral giants of the century. To hear a description of the Nile, the Colis- seum, the Alhambra, or the ruins of Pompeii, from one who has spent weeks in the study and inspection of each, and from so pleasing a talker as Prof. Ardley, seems more like a dream than a reality, for the stories of these distant historical objects of admiration have always appeared mythical.
