pOintments for YearAre Made.

In spite Of some antagonistic feeling
on the part of Individual members, the
state normal school board, at it's an
nual meeting yesterday, provided that
the state shall pay the expenses of the
five presidents of the normal schools in
attending one educational meeting of
national character each year.
The resolution in which this action
was taken was introduced by Mr..
Comstock, and it's purpose is to ena-
bic the presidents of the normal
schools to attend the annual conven-
tons Of the National Educational as
ISOLATION at the expense of the state.
= 1t was adopted without pronounced
opposition, but later on the plan came
up in discussion among the members,
and it was then that the adverse SEN
timent was disclosed.
]. L. Washburne, the new member
Of the board from Duluth, was most
outspoken in his disapproval. and said
1t was his purpose to endeavor to dis
suade President Bohannan, of the Du-
luth school from going to these con-
Vept1ons at the expense Of the state.
He said:
II do not believe in this sort of thing.
These trips are more in the nature of
junkets than anything else, and I be-
lieve the presidents would do much
better to stay at home and attend to
business. There are enough educa-
tional meetings in our own state to
satisfy them
Supt. Olsen asked Mr.. washburne if
he did not, as a lawyer, believe in pro-
fessional meetings and attend the
gatherings of his bar association. and
he replied:
Gives Tip to Lawyers.
mot on your life. and 1 don't think
much Of the lawyers who spend their
time running around to bar associa-
ton meetings. 1t doesn't get them
anything that is worth their while"
Some of the other members of the
board expressed the opinion that if the
presidents wanted to attend the edu-
cational meetings away from home,
they should pay their own expenses.
The resolution was. however, permit
ted to stand as adopted.
By the adoption Of a resolution in
troduced by Alvah Eastman, of st.
Cloud, the kindergarten department of
the st. Cloud normal school has been
for the time being discontinued. The
reasons assigned are lack of demand
for instruction in that branch and a
lack of funds to maintain the depart
ment
The board took steps looking toward
the installation Of a department of
household science in the Duluth normal
school. This action was inspired by a
PCII1OIl 1IOIu q nQIIlDSI VI CluD WOIu-
en- of Duluth, comprising the officers
and some other members of the Twen-
tieth Century club, the Ladies' Relief
society, Daughters of Liberty chapter
of the Daughters of the American Rev
olution, the Saturday club; the Literal
ture class and the Outlook club.
The women offered to cooperate
with the board to reasonable extent
in equipping two rooms In the normal
school building for the teaching of
cooking and sewing. It was agreed
that the board will furnish the in
structors if, the Women's clubs will
equip the rooms.
