neeos OF state normal scnoo,.

President H. H. Seerley of the State
Normal school at Cedar Falls and the
trustees of that institution believe
what is worth having is worth asking
for, and they further believe there
should be no hesitanCy in the asking
For that reason there is but little sur
prise expressed that already the new
members of the Iowa legislature.
elected Nov. 3, are receiving circular
letters which detail the wants and
needs of the normal school beyond
the allowance made by the fixed state
appropriation.
President Seerley has brought many
good things to the school from tho
hands of tie Legislators since he has
been at it's head, but he has only &C.
complished this result by incessant
campaigning. that is, by compelling
the lawmakers with arguments and
reason to see the justice of his de-
mands. If President Seerley were so
inclined there is no doubt among his
friends that he would make most
successful lobbyist And he would
doubtless prove an innovation in that
class of workers, for he would never
stoop to use any but the most hon.
his ends.
This year the normal trustees are
to ask the legislature for an appro-
priation of $4,000 in addition to their
annual allowance. This fund, for
which claim is laid by the trustees
of the school, is divided as follows:
Teachers fund (additionaD. $4,000;
contingent fund, annual (additionaD.
$4,000; library fund, annuall", for
two years. 81 800, grading campus.
$1,000; militia, $500
The pamphlet sent out to the leg
islators shows that during the school
year of 1902 there was expended $751;
257 so for salaries for teachers; for
1903 the amount will be S67,54 and
the board is under contract to expend
for it's teaching force in 1904 the sum
of s6S,090 The report shows that the
institution has paid out since June 80,
1901. for other employees than teach
ers. such as janitors. engineers, cler-
Teal help. etc. the sum of $23, 1888.
or this $l0.5650S was spent in 1902
and $l3,293 So in 1903. For the year
1904 the sun. of $l4.340 is asked for
this purpose The total receipts Of
the school from all sources for the
years I902.1904 amounted to $685.
3l766. The total enrolment of The
school for the school year l902-1903.
in all departments. was 1924. This
figure includes large number reg
istered at the summer school. which
has been conducted for several years.
President Seerley directs the at.
tention of the legislators also to the
progress OF the school In the past
years and to the necessity Of having
more teachers. He enumerates as
badly needed: An additional woman
physical director. an assistant profes.
sor In mathematics and German, a
manual training director. assistant In
vocal music, associate teachers In
bookkeeping. penmanship and draw
ing. three assistants In manual train.
Ing. a kindergarten director and an
additional critic teacher.
