uuerque and vicinity. While they

1t Is said that some highly important

Miss Hobbs. Miss Elsie McGregor
and Miss Edith Everitt. The teachers
are spending today in getting settled
and sight seeing.
The oratorical contest tonight will
bring out crowd and all the ora
tors have reported. The keenest ri
vah.i exists and there is a great deal
of speculation as to the outcome. To-
morrow morning the work of the ses-
sion begins in earnest and the teach
ers will be busy the rest of the time.
The proposition to establish nor
NAL school In eastern New Mexico is
championed by all teachers from that
part of the territory, led by Mrs. S,
lF. Culberson, superintendent of
cause of lack of such a school there
is dearth of teachers. The teach
ers from Texas can't teach in New
Nexlco without taking an examina-
| ton mere. As a consequence they
! prefer to stay in Texas. New Mex
| leo children go to Texas to be edu-
| Gated in higher institutions, but with
a normal school to train teachers
.rsx In
| the situation would be different.

C. 9. Fisher, of Ration, president; w.
