TRAVER SUCCEEDS RICE
President RessIer COmplimented Up
on Fine Showing Made by
Monmouth Normal.

At meeting Of the State Normal
Regents, held in Salem last week,
L. r. Traver, formerly superintendent
Of the Pendleton city schools, was
elected principal Of the training
school at Monmouth, to succeed G. A..
Rice, resigned. Professor Traver
ranks as one of the strongest men in
educational work in Oregon.
President Ressler was called upon

ton of the Monmouth school. He
said the friends of the school had
pledged $4,000 and they would receive
from the Monmouth school district
from $4,000 to $500 year. They had
levied five mills additional taxes,
which would make $4,000 more. Upon
his showing President Ressler made it
appear that the Monmouth school was
we'll provided with funds. August %,
he had deposited $4,000 with the board,
and last week he offered another check
IOL p1OOOs
In other years the school had
received from tuition $4,000 to $4,000.
Counting $475O from the district and
$4,000 from tuition, he said the friends
Of the school had raised $4,000 in the
way of donation. He said to do his
best, he had cut his estimate from
$19, 400 to $4,000.
The favorable showing made by
Monmouth was commented on by
several of the regents and President
Ressler was complimented. The action
Of the executive committee of August
%, and the tenders made by President
Ressler, offering $4,000 as a donation
were accepted and approved.
