Another report of equal Importance was
that of the committee to whom had been
referred the report of the local committee
of the state normal school. The commit
tee reported: That the financial statement
for the year ended June I, 1895. Is probably
correct. although the committee cannot
determine this, as no vouchers were Med
with the report.
That we are in full and hearty sympa-
thy with the local board in their untiring
efforts to make the normal school a state
institution that will be the equal or the
superior of any of its kind In the country
"a school where those intending to teach
may properly and efficiently equip them
selves for that honorable and important
profession. For the accomplishment OF
his we most earnestly urge upon the local
board the exercise of the greatest wis
dom I'm the selection of the instructors
In the school, to the end that none hut
educators of acknowledged standing and
recognized ability be selected. We real
ize the difficulty In selecting a competent
faculty for a normal school, for the rea-
son that comparatively few have had the
special training and successful experience
necessary to qualify them for such work
We heartily approve Of the policy OF che
board in employing only specialists for
the wrok of the different Departments.
We recommend that the selection OF the
following members of the faculty be con-
frmed. d. e. Sanders. president; J. e.
Monroe and Miss L. e.. Miller.
We also recommend that the action OF
the board in accepting the resignation OF
Professor A. w. Wells be approved.
We further recommend that the follow
ing selections for instructors for the sum-
mer session of the normal school be con-
- Drn-
fessor w. Z. Harmon Professor H. A.
Hull, Miss Sadie Rodgers: and that the
selection of Professor J. d. Hendricks be
not approved.

addressed the board briefly as to the con-
ditions of the institution under him. His
talk led to some discussion as to the ad-
visibility of placing the feeble minded In
the deaf and dumb asylum. Opposition
developed to the plan, some OF the MEM
beers OF the board maintaining that IL
would be a mistake to do anything OF
Nit Afto 49,
leading Institutions OF that class in the
country hardly ever place the feeble
minded in the same institution as the
deaf and dunn. The discussion took on a
wide range. and as no agreement was
reached IL was decided to postpone furtn-
er consideration OF the subject until Fri
day.
Professor Hamilton itroduced the fol-
