Winona, Special, June 1.-Some three or
four weeks ago authority was received in
Winona from the governor of the Argen
tine Republic to secure and forward, at the
earliest practicable date, eight accomplished
female teachers for important positions in
the Normal schools of that country. While
the negotiations were pending it was deemed
best, for obvious reasons, to make no public
mention of the fact. Now, however, the ar
engagements have been consummated. The
entire quota called for has been secured,
and your correspondent is enabled to give a
full statement of the case. The authority
conferred came directly from the minister
of public instruction, Mr.. Roca, through the
inspector general of national colleges and
normal schools. Sr. Jose NJ. Torres, and
was addressed to Mrs. s. W. Morgan nee
Miss Franc E. Allyn, who for tour years
served with distinction in the national nor
NAL school at Parana, Senior Torres in let
guished services in the cause of education,
speaks in the highest terms of the
work done by his former pupils in
the profession of teaching in the
Argentine Republic. In writing to Mrs.
Morgan, Senior Torres asks her to solicit the
help of Prof. Phelps in selecting the most
able and expert teachers that are willing to
come. it may be well to Iecur to the fact
that Miss 8. E. Wade was the first represen-
tative of the normal school at Winona &C
cepting call to the Argentine Republic,
leaving for that country in 1875. She was
followed by Miss Clara Armstrong in the
same year; by Miss Francis Armstrong in
1876; Miss Francis Allyn in 1878, and Mis-
ses Mary o. Graham, Kate Grant and Clara
ALLYN in 1879 The services of these wor
thy ladies has been so satisfactory as to
cause demand for further reinforcement
of eight, all of whom are graduates in the
earlier classes, or have been teachers in the
normal school. They are well known as
highly accom- plished and successful teach
ers, and they will bear with them the besi
wishes of hosts of friends in this city and
and state. The roster is as follows:
Miss Alcindi Morrow, Miss Sarah III.
Strong, Miss Myra Kimball, Miss Sarah E.
EcclQston, Miss Antonette Choare, Miss
Mary Couse Miss Bernice Avery.
