Faculty and Equipment In

COEUR >DALENE, July 13.-Presi-
dednt and Mrs. George H. Black of the
Lewiston Normal arrived in town to-
day, says the Press, and have taken up
comfortable quarters in the o. A. Rob-
erts house in Sherman park. Prof.
! II. w. Hubbard, p B. and Earl s.
Wooster, A. B., of the State Normal
have also come with their families and
will reside in the tented city con-
structed by the Commercial club for
the summer normal to be opened July
Is
President Black, when seen, made
the following statement concerning the
summer normal: "All we can say to-
day Is both from the standpoint of in
Fstruction and local arrangements for
the school in Occur d'Alene, the sue
cess of the undertaking seems already
assured. We expect to commence reg
istering Monday and to continue reg
istration for the next three weeks.
"The Kootenai county teachers in
stitute will meet with us August Is,
which will also increase our members.
"This Is the first normal school for
north Idaho. South Idaho has had
them at Boise and PocatelIo for the
past two years. This year the seven
counties In the southeastern part Of
the state are merging their institutes
into the Pocatello summer normal.
which will be a great assistance to
that school. However the summer
school of north Idaho has the best To-
cation in the state, and as soon as it
becomes well known it WILL believe,
become the most popular in Idaho.
AT the opening of the school we ex-
pect to have with us some students
from Washington and Canyon coun-
ties of the south. These have come
here chiefly because of the good loca-
ton Of the school. Eastern Washing
ton will also be represented"
A good registration is anticipated at
the opening which is expected to in
crease greatly as the school pro-
crosses. Although Cheney has had
summer normal for the past two or
more years. yet the attendance has
not exceeded so during any one sum-
mer. Comparatively, Occur d'Alene
will be much better than any of the
neighboring schools.
The school equipment will arrive
this week and be properly arranged.
The faculty will consist of five up
to-date normal. teachers, President q.
H. Black, Professors Hibbard and
Wooster and Misses Eggeman and In
gersol. This corps Of instructors win
be reinforced from time to time by
able instructors, such as DR.. Yoder
and others who win give extensive and
helpful lectures.
All in all, the summer normal prom
ses to be great success from every
standpoint, especially in laying the
for an excellent school in
he near future, the results of which
viii be felt throughout every school in
forth Idaho, through the increased ef-
iciency Of the teaching force.
