Arizona. The wisdom of those instrumental in this great bless ing to our coming commonwealth has never been doubted nor questioned for a single moment by friend or foe. For from the day the Northern Normal was opened to the reception of stu dents, in 1899, until the present moment, each succeeding day has dawned more brightly than the last for this institution, and the determination of students, teach CTS and citizens of Arizona seem to grow stronger and more uni fled to the end that the Northern Normal shall be worthy of the full confidence and loyal support of a most generous and apprecia- tive people.
 The Normal holds out two couses of study to those contem- plating more advanced work than can be obtained in the public schools of the territory. The sub Normal course of one year

ing of whatever part of the build ing is needed for school work, and the equipment of each de- partment with the most modern and complete apparatus that the markets of the world afford.
 The need of an institution in the northern part of the territory where academic study might be systematically pursued, was keenly felt by the friends of ed ucation and the leading citizens of all sections of Arizona, long before the establishment of the Northern Normal was proposed by the Territorial Legislature; therefore, when it was proposed to establish Territorial Normal school at Flagstaff, the bill was passed by both houses with scarcely dissenting voice, and signed immediately by Governor Murphy, who is recognized as the leader in all movements for the welfare and prosperity of

Der, 1899, its success has been assured. The attendance the first year was above thirty in the Normal proper, and the Normal department this year has an at tendance of forty.one at the close of the first quarter, with most flattering prospects of a much larger attendance at the begin ming of the next school year.
 Under the conservative yet liberal management of the North ern Normal Board of Education, the building is equipped, at the present time, with a very con- plete working library, books of reference and physical and chem ical apparatus. Large additions are constantly being made to each of these departments, as the need arises, and by the be- ginning of the school year 1902-3 the building will be equipped with the best heating apparatus and physical and chemical labo-

ratories that modern genius can invent along lines of prudent economy. The specifications of the best laboratories of the coun- try will be carefully studied, and the best features will be adopted for the equipment of the North ern Normal.
 Very liberal appropriations were made for the Northern Nor nal by the Twenty-first Territo- rial Legislature, and we would especially mention the painstak- ing and faithful work done by the Hon. M. J. Riordan and the Hon. Jas. Walsh, in behalf of educa- tion in general, but especially in behalf of the Northern Normal.
 The appropriations above re- ferred to are ample for the finish

In connection with the Normal there is a training school under the direct supervision of Miss Lulu R. Hunter. where each stu dent who contemplates gradua
 tion, must do 160 hours of actual teaching before receiving his di- ploma. This training has proven of inestimable value to those who have graduated, and of course must be of great practi- cal good to any who hope to be- come teachers in Arizona. Both the practice department and the Normal department are managed by the most competent teachers that the Normal board can se- cure, and the wisdom of the board in this respect seems to be fully justified in the charac- ter of work done by the gradu- ates of the institution, for every member of the first graduating class commenced teaching in the public schools of the territory in

takes up the work where it is left off in the eighth grade in the pub lie schools. and advances the stu dents through the ninth grade, when they are ready to enter the Normal course proper. The Nor nal course requires four years work, when the student, if he has taken the professional work in the fourth year of the Normal course, is graduated from the institution with certificate good for life in the territory of Arizona.
 Territorial Superintendent R. L. Long, who is chairman of both Normal school boards of the ter ritory, has full supervision of the courses of study in both Normal schools, which has proven to be very wise plan, as it keeps both the Normal at Tempe and at Flag
 staff on precisely the same basis for graduation and the same plan of work, thus making the Nor mals cOrrelate most beautifully

THE BRUTE CONFESSES.
st. Louis, March 13.-A special to the
Post-Dispatch from Corsicana, Tex.
says: John Henderson, negro, who
outraged and murdered Mrs. Younger
several days ago, after making COM
plete confession was burned at the
stake this afternoon. Henderson had
been taken to Hillsboro. Last night the
officers lin charge of the negro started
to take him to Fort Worth for safety.
When the train reached Itasca the off,
GERS were overpowered and the negro
taken from them by citizens of the
county, who had gone there for that
here. The town was filled with people,
most of then. armed, and the sheriff
could do nothing against their will.
Seven car loads of people came from
Ennis, Tex. Several citizens made
strong appeals to the multitude to let
the law intervene, but they availed
nothing. At 10:45 a. m. an iron pole
was erected in the court house yard in
full view of 5000 people, who assem-
bled thereabouts. The committee Sc
cured the following confession from
Henderson, signed and attested to by
Justice of the Peace H. G. Roberts:
II, John Henderson, colored, 20 years
old, murdered an unknown white lady
three miles north of Corsicana on the
9Th of March, 1901. There was no one
present but myself, woman and two lit
tie children. J. murdered her and left
her in the house without any intention
of robbing her. I don't know why I
did it,
Boxes and wood were piled around
the stand and saturated with oil lust
before the pile was fired Conway
Younger, the husband of the murdered
woman, jumped at Henderson and
slapped him across the face with a
knife. At no time during the burning
did Henderson give any indication of
pain or suffering. 1t was about ten
minutes before he was dead.
AFTER ANOTHER MURDERER.
Lee French, husband of the victim of
negro Anderson Norris, who beat her to
death with piece of iron pipe last No
vember and who was taken from Jail
here last week by officers and carried
to place of safety, climbed a tree and
made an impassioned speech to the
crowd, asking them to help him get the
murderer and deal with him as they
had just dealt with Henderson. The
crowd yelled that they would assist.

business being the organization for the
year, Hon. L. B. Prince was elected
president, and P. H. Curran secretary
and treasurer. A large amount of busi-
ness connected with the administration
of the college was presented and acted
upon. Owing to the uncertainty as to
the amount of the appropriation from
the legislature, it was impossible to
make the arrangements for the next
year, which would otherwise have been
the college under the act of congress
was presented, and map was directed
to be prepared, showing exactly their
situation.
Such rigid economy had to be exer-
cised during the last two years that a
number OF repairs to the building are
absolutely necessary, but all such busi-
ness had to be postponed to await Leg
islatve action.
The following resolution, introduced
by Hon. l.. B. Prince, was unanimous
ly adopted Resolved, that in all the
publications Of the college, and in the
instruction therein, the customary
spelling sanctioned by good usage and
the leading dictionaries of the last half
century, be employed"
The object of this resolution is to pre-
vent such fantastic spelling as "sulf1d"
for sulphide, "chlorin" for chlorine, and
"sulfur" for sulphur, which has be-
come a fad in some quarters. The
board was in continuous session
through the day, and adjourned to meet
on May 6.
