MAXWELL Is ELECTED.
Will Take Charge of The Ninona Nor.
nal School.

Winona, Mimi, April 9-The state
normal board yesterday afternoon by
unanimous vote elected Prof. Guy E.
/ Maxwell, who for the past four years has
been superintendent of the training de-
| partment of the Winona normal school
: to be president of that institution to
succeed DR.. j. F. Millspaugh, who has
resigned to become president of the Los
Angeles normal school. The board was
influenced largely by the recommends
ton of President and Resident Director
G. A. Morey, who had looked into the
records of the different applicants and
! was strongly of the opinion that Prof.
Maxwell was the man to elect.
Mr.. Maxwell is graduate of the Ham
line university, class of 1893. After
leaving Hamline he was principal of the
schools at Herman, Mimi, and principal
of the high school at Marinette, Wis.
In 1898 he went to Columbia university
in New York city and spent two years
there pursuing special studies along ed
ucational lines, taking the masters de-
gree. Since then he has been superin-
tendent of the training department of
the Winona school,
1t was decided by the board that high
school graduates shall receive credit for
postgraduate work in normal subjects,
and first-grade teachers certificate will
entitle the holder to twelve credits in
three and five year courses. The school
year was fixed at thirty eight weeks,
each school to fix the calendar to suit
local conditions.
The reports of the normal presidents
were submitted showing the enrolment
to be as follows: Winona, 649; Duluth,
1872; Mankato, 400, against 30l a year
ago; Moorhead, 344, and st. Cloud, 425.
Margaret ]. Kneeland and Katherine
Ensing were elected teachers in the Du
luth school at salaries of 800 and $50,
respectively. President Morey stated
that at the June meeting he would sub
NIT report concerning the teachers
pledge required in Minnesota. The con-
sensus seems to be against the two-year
pledge.
The board adopted resolution favor
the opening of the normal buildings of
the state for six weeks sessions of the
state summer schools, under the direction
of the state superintendent, to be con-
Quoted by the presidents of the several
institutions, and that standings of pu-
pills who have completed double courses
in these schools be entered to their cred
it on the permanent records. The board
provides for the introduction of manual
training in the Moorhead normal school
with the opening of next year.
