NORMAL SCHOOL FACULTY
Action Of the Board Sustains the Faculty
Chosen by President Blsck-A Strong Corps
Of Instructors

/
1t has been known for some days thai
President Black had been presented hi:
final recommendations for faculty tc
the board, and that as soon as the mem
bers of the board confirmed the choice
the result would be announced. The
final action was taken today and the fol
lowing was sent to the press:
The faculty Of the Lewiston Normal
school has been selected. There will be
eight instructors in addition to the presi-
dent. The selections have been made
with the idea of securing such educa-
tional and personal qualities as seem best
to adapt the members of the faculty to
the particular requirements of this insti-
tuition. Viewing the faculty as a whole
it represents the training and the culture
of many of the best educational institu-
tions in the west as we'll as in the east.
In every case there has been very strong
testimony presented in support of the
ability and the success of the candidate
and this testimony has, for the most
part. come from men who are quite IA
miliar with the requirements Of normal
schools.
The members of the board feel assured
that they have succeeded in securing as
strong faculty as will be found in any
similar institution in the northwest.
With the enlarged faculty aud the ever
lgrowing facilities for effective work it is
confidently believed that the work Of the
coming session will be productive of ex-
Icellent results.
The recently elected members of the

s., (Ohio Wesleyan), psychology, phys
ical science and supervisor of the training
