Fine Address.
Prof. c. E. lHodgin, of Albuquerque,
addressed the Normal students Mon
day morning with a very interesting
talk, says the Record.
Professor Hodgin is one of the old
timers, he being one of the oldest edu-
Gators in the territory. He has been
seventeen years in Albuquerque alone.
and is at present head of tire training
department of the college there. He
spoke interestingly of the school in
Las Vegas sixteen years ago, when the
old academy stood at the o o Of Doug
las avenue, and the only other school
facilities were embodied in a little
three-room school house. 1t was an
interesting and complimentary com.
parison ne now made with the old
days.
He spoke particularly of the care the
Normal shows. there being no marks
nor defacements on the wall, which
was an exceptional condition he found
in his twenty odd years experience.
Evidently he was thoroughly delight
ed with our fine Normal university
building here, for he said that If we
would give Albuquerque the Normal
we could have the military post.
The professors address was well re
ceived, and Las Vegas bids him, as
well as all other Aiouquerqueans, wei
come at any time.
