The Normal Record. May 1903

              THE NORMAL  RECORD.
there was tbe smelter where two were working
and one young boy was bending over some
moulds. The rector's heart stood still; but
after looking in steadily for a moment he
quietly but very cautiously let down the door
and then tiptoed to the window sud jumped
out.     Soon the officers and a  number   of men
were aroused; they broke in upon the counterfeiters, who were so surprised they gave in
without much violence.
So the ghosts which had worried the good
people of L -for so long were lauded in State
Prison, aud never returned to trouble the
villagers' rest.
ANSWERS TO  CORRESPONDENTS
Bobbie.—That tired feeliug can be overcome by going to bed eaily and by going home
on Friday nights and remaining there till Sunday morniug.
Dora S. — Your story is indeed heart-rending. I really do not know how to answer
your question. I can only suggest that you
bear patiently the "hits" that you get in your
school paper.     I think you can outlive   them.
A. Kermode. — I suppose it is all right to
correspond with your English teacher. When
you said "Why, I wrote that to you Miss Elliot", tbe class was evidently ignorant of the
fact that you wrote to her. Hence the laughter.
Burney—Your method of escape is quite
original and novel. I cannot answer your question as to why people laugh when told of your
hasty exit from a certain place.
A. Reynolds — 1 cannot possibly think of
another Portuguese phrase. Consult Mr.
Knight.
E. haxon—Yes, keep on with your original
work in child study. I would not advise you
to refer to many books when you have such
first class m-iterial to deal with. You are
doing nobly.
Miss Carden—Yes, emphatically; if a student is more than fifty seconds late, send him
for an excuse.
Miss Reed—Yes, I agree with you. Kansas
is a great State. Every thing that is done
there  is   done   properly.     Every   one   should
visit Kansas during some time in his life.
Mrs. McQuade —No, 1 do not know of any
books on physical culture other than
those which you mentioned. However, you
might invent a few more exercises
E. Loynachan- I am not a fortune teller by
trade but I can tell by your hand writing just
about what kind of a person you are. You
are a gentle, generous, little fellow, willing
to help any one, a smile and a kind word for
each and all of your acquaintances.
New Students — No, it is not absolutely
necessary that you take home all your books
every night. You may leave your note books
and scratch paper at school. People use those
desks in the Assembly Hall to put books in.
G. Pratt — I do uot know how you may repay
the kindness of   Mr. in giving   you   that
excellent candy. You will have to bide your
time till next April 1st. Revenge is sweet even
if your candy was not.
Rene—1 am not superstitious, but on looking up your questions in the standard reference
books, I find that you are in the right. It is
very bad luck to study on Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday or Thursday night. It is all right
to study in the daytime, however..
Harriet R — By all means have your friend
keep joshes on you out of Tbe Record. However, I would suggest that you be particularly
careful your friend does not hear of you'-humorous happenings. MINERVA.
