porter for the Mining Journal.

state institution provides better
for physical, mental and moral de.
velopment OF students than does the
Normal here, under its present sup.
ervision. The faculty members arc
persons of large intellectual calibre
they are young and energetic, and
they instruct underup to date meth
ods." Mr.. Bettes' daughter is at
tending the school and is progres
sing splendidly with her studies.
