instruction two weeks ago and
decided TO agree upon a location
for the proposed normal school

bill. About two dozen places
were suggested and their claims
taken up in order. One by one
the smaller and less accessible
places were stricken from the
list until but four places re-
manned namely, Marquette, Els
canada, Menominee and Iron
Mountain. The school will,
without doubt. be located at one
of the above named places.
Any one of these cities would
be an excellent location for the
school and il is not our purpose
TO throw cold water upon
the claims of any of them
but, from our standpoint, Iron
