FOR TRAINING OF TEACHERS
Movement to Establish Normal School in
Council Bluffs,
COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT PUSHES PLAN
Board of Education Expects to BE
Able to Lease Old High school for
the Enterprise-IOwa Insti-
tutiOns Crowded.

A movement is on foot to establish in
Council Bluffs a Normal school or college
for the training Of teachers. County Super
intendent o. j. McManus and r. f. What
and Charles Benson, propTietors OF the
Western Iowa college Of this city. are said
TO be the persons active in the movement.
The matter was brought informally to the
attention OF the Board OF Education at a
special meeting yesterday afternoon, and
It is said that il the plans OF the promoters
succeed a definite proposition will be made
20 the board at It's next regular meeting to
lease the old High school building for the
purposes Of the Normal college.
The matter came before the board yester-
day afternoon, when Secretary Ross was
instructed to advertise for bids for the re-
naming school property which the board
has been authorized to sell, including the
old High school, now known as the Hill
school. II was stated that a proposition to
lease the old High school properly would
be submitted to the board at its next regu-
lar meeting by persons interested in estab-
fishing a Normal college in this city. The
sentiment Of the members present was that
such a proposition should be encouraged in
every way possible. as its successful ac-
complishment would mean much to the city.
There is. It is said, a great demand for
additional Normal schools and colleges, as
throughout Iowa all the state and private
institutions OF such a character are over
crowded The private Normal school in
Shenandoah has 500 pupils and It was stated
yesterday that there would be little dim
Guilty in securing from 200 to 300 pupils
for such a school here at the outset. The
attendance Of 200 pupils, It was said, would
insure the school being a success 1nan-
cially.
Member Hess Of the board and his busi-
ness partner. F. ]. Day, said they were both
willing TO assist In the establishment OF a
Normal college in Council BLUFFS, and sug-
Eested that a company be formed to carry
the plan into execution. rhe old High
school building, with little expense, could
be made adaptable for such a purpose and
would accommodate between 400 and 500
pupils.
The board fixed the value of the Woodbury.
avenue school property, which the Great
Western railroad desires to purchase for
its right Of way. at $4,000. Bids on the re-
manning property TO be sold will be received
by Secretary Ross up to the time Of the
next regular meeting of the board.
Treasurer Davis submitted his bond in
the sum OF SIS, 900, furnished by an eastern
bonding company. and it was approved. The
meeting was called for this especial pur-
pose.

Some half dozen or more years ago Viola
| Allen graced an Omaha theater with her
| presence, not as a star, but as leading
woman OF Mr.. Frohman's Empire stock
company. So we'll remembered is she that
nothing but standing room, and little OF
that, was left unoccupied at Boyd's theater
last night. What should be even more
| pleasing to Miss Allen than the enthusiastic
| reception she received at its hands is the
fact that a more representative audience
has not assembled in the theater before
during the present season, and 1t is doubt
full II a more thoroughly satisfied one has

"In the Palace of the King" is a most
effective pictorial romantic drama divided
into a half dozen scores, rather than acts,
each OF which presents a different picture
Of the interior OF the palace Of Phillip ii
Of Spain. The sensational appeal Of The
Christian" has not Of course been repeated
by the new book play of Miss Aliens, yet
her host OF admirers cannot help but be
| pleased with the predominant display OF
her personality which characterizes the
piece throughout its six tableaux, and her
courtship scenes as Dona Maria Dolores de
Mendoza, with Don John Of Austria are
certainly charming,
Those who saw her in The Christian"
felt as though Glory Quayle were treating
us to a masquerade in the Castilian court
lady's costumes. There are many of the
same mannerisms, the same saucy little
shake Of the head. the same half mannish
accents in the emphatic lines, the same
individuality and temperament as marked
her portrayal Of the Hall Caine heroine.
Viola Aliens art is hardly to be meas
ured by commonly accepted standards,
for the reason that she does nothing that
can be measured by rules. We who knew
chiefly by the impressions left after seeing
her In Sowing the Wind" Liberty Hall"
were surprised last night to note the
