NORMAL SCHOOL PRESIDENTS
MEET UNIVERSITY FACULTY.

Madison, January 21,
There was conference of state
normal school presidents and members
of the faculty in State Superintend-
ent Emery's office last eyening.It was
secret. Every window blind was
closely drawn and even the doorknob

Stearns and f. ]. Turner, of the uni
yersity faculty; President james

dent Warren ID. Parker, River Falls;
President Theron B. Pray, Stevens
Point; w. P. Bartlett, president of the

cussed was the proposed action OF the
university faculty in denying normal
school graduates admission to the
junior class of the university The

outcome of the conference and believe
that with some slight CHI; nges in their
curriculum they will be privileged to

gents, appointed some time ago to se-
Ter plans for the renovation Of ladies'

ions distinctions, and, therefore, for the purposes of this article it will suffice to say that all did well, and that each feature and the play in it's entirety were received with the great est enthusiasm and applause on the part of theimmense audience present. However, Master Fay Mehlinger in his Henrietta" song deserves special mention, both for the excellency of his acting and singing, and his ren dition of the part assigned him was one of the most popular features of the evening. He was forced to re- spond to three encores, and on each occasion conducted himself like an old timer at the business. The dan cling Miss Angie Merlo also deserves special mention, as it was undoubt- edly the best ever seen on an anna teur stage.
 Before the play was half concluded Miss Bogardus received numerous requests from the audience to repeat the entertainment at an early day, and before the last act the announce ment was made from the stage that in response to these requests it was probable that America with d number of new features would be again presented to the Pine Bluff public within a few days.
 The music for the occasion was furnished by the Cotton Belt orches- tra which was one Of the most de- lightful features of the entertainment. The Cotton Belt orchestra is one of the best in the land, and the music furnished by 1t last night was per feet.
 The GRAPHIC congratulates Miss Bogardus, the Young Ladies Guild, and the participants upon the bril- liancy and success of the entertain ment. It was magnificent produc- tion in every particular, and we be- lieve that if ''America" is reproduced that it will again be greeted by a cro wded house.
