Crystal Fails an Excellent Location for the Pro
posed Upper Peninsula Normal
II the bill now before the state legisla-
ture 10 locate normal school IN the
upper peninsula passes both houses, the
next move will very naturally be TO find
n proper locatiOn-One that will he sat
isfactory 10 the rest OF the peninsula.
All things considered il is the honest
opinion OF THE DIAMOND DRILL that n
moro desirable location than Crystal
Falls cannot be found in the upper
peninsula. Crystal Falls, located as it
In on a hill side, is always neat and
clean. The atmosphere Is clear and
healthy. Here. too, we have the cele-
brated Crystal Falls mineral springs, n
source OF health in themselves. Geo
graphically in the south central part OF
the peninsula, the city is easily accessible
from all points. Here, too, the numer-
Gus mines and extensive numbering oper-
ations will constitute study both
interesting and useful, that could hardly
fail to be attractive to the pupils "out
OF school hours" The city can most
assuredly offer an excellent site, and
| The DIAMOND DRILL asserts that 1t has
good grounds for its expressed doubt
| that there is city in the upper PENN
sula that can offer inducements more
| favorable than Crystal Falls can offer
| II the legislature decides upon the l0ca
ton OF normal in this peninsula
| CRYSTAL Falls will most assuredly b'
beard from and will put forth ever
exertion TO secure the prize.
But whether Crystal Falls secures th'
school or not, its people will neverthe
less hail with delight the advent OF tn
school ia the peninsula, being fully aliy
TO the needs OF such an institution here.

after the meeting convened. The blg ~
