The following is from the Mar

Principal Waldo of the new nor
NAL has received word from the
state board of education that at it's
meeting in Mt. Pleasant last Satur-
day it ratified the selection of a

him at liberty to publicly announce
the faculty, which will be as follows:
Prof. D. B. Waldo, principal, and
chairs of history and civics.

and chair of English.

matics.

raphy and drawing.

lates himself exceedingly on the
faculty which he has succeeded in
getting together for the initial year.
1t constitutes a strong corps of
teachers and one which cannot help
but give the school standing in edu-
cational circles from the very first.
The Mining Journal has already
published an extended sketch of
Prof Waldo, and it is enough now
to say that in its principal the
Northern normal has one of the very
best and most progressive of the
younger educators in the central
states, if not in much wider range
of territory. The state board select
ed him firm in the belief that he was
man capable of making the school
power for the educational advance
ment of the upper peninsula. in
Prof. Waldo has popuarized him
sell with all those with whom he
has come in contact, and there is
every reason to believe that he will
be well liked among both pupils and
patrons of the normal. This was
the case at Albion college, from
whence he was called to take the
position at the head of the new
school.
Prof L. f. Anderson, who will
take charge of the department of
pedagogy, is graduate of the Uni
versity of Toronto. He has just re-
turned from Germany, where he
spent two years in the universities
at Jena and Leipsic. He has bad

himself skillful teacher and super

him as one of the brightest young
educators in the west.
Prof. William McCracken, who
will have the department of science,
is well known in Marquette, having
taught the sciences one year in the
high school. He is q graduate of
tn. University of Michigan, and has
