We publish below provisions Of
the bill IN full In reading them
bear in mind that the last clause Of

since the bill contains NJ repeating

necessity be controlled by state
board. Greeley has one member c.
H. Wheeler. The other members are
Richard Broad Jr., Of Golden, pres

Hon. James Il. killian Of Walsen-
burg. Hon. Jesse Stephenson OF
Monte Vista, Mrs. Frances Belford
Of Denver and the Superintendent of
Public Instruction. The names of
these eminent Coloradoans should
guarantee fair treatment. There is
also the additional point that instead
of the Greeley Normal people being
our enemies they are now our
friends will give ms the benefit Of
their experience and take lively
pride In the success of the institu-
tion. This, we believe, is particu-
larlv true Of Dr Snyder, president
of the two schools. As am able and
euterprising educator he has long
had in view for Colorado a system Of
state normals. but naturally pre-
ferred to see Greeley well provided
for first. The legislature has simply
given him what he wanted and eN-
pected but was not quite ready for
and we Judge he viii take particular
pride in the development and success
of the western slope school, Ger
tain it is that responsibility for Its
success must now be shouldered by
Dr. SNYDER and the state board. since
the plan Of its operation was secured
by them.
