THE REELECTION OF
 NORMAL TEACHERS
BUT THERE WERE THREE REslG.
 NATIONS.
The Board Generously Raised Most of
 the Salaries.

Al recent meeting of the Normal | Board of Education, teachers for the ensuing year were elected. All the members of Vc faculty were re-elect- cd and most of them were granted d slight increase in salary. That. how ever. does not indicate that there will be no changes in the faculty for the coming year. for three members have already rendered their resignations and possibly others may do so, though fur tber resignations are hardly expected
 Miss Laverna Tossing has resigned m order to accept a position as in structor of music in the Normal de- partment of the Flagstaff Normal. Miss Lossing's resignation was accepted with much regret by the board. bu: they could readily see the justice of her move, for the new position is not only in the nature of a distinct promo ton, but also carries with it a greater salary than the position she has occu pied in the Tempe Normal Training school Miss Lossing's position in the Tempe Normal Training school has been offered to and accepted by Miss Louise Lynd. Miss Lynd was formerly d teacher in the Normal. but for the past year has been attending school in California.
 Miss Odell has resigned and her res ignation has been accepted. Her req son for so doing is that she has been teaching almost constantly for the past ten years and feels that she both needs and deserves a rest. Her place will be filled by some specialist in physical culture. elocution and expression. yet to be selected
 The third resignation is tha, of Miss Newbert. Miss Newbert has an excel lent reason for resigning. She will be married very shortly after the close of school and will make her future home in California
 Her place will not be filled this con- ing year for the reason that next years graduating class is an unusually large one Consequently there will be less work in the training school for the faculty members and a teacher to take Miss Newbert's place will not be re- quired until the year following.

To those who love the sornbre beauty of
medieval Germany, the haunting poetry
of it's Legends, its strivings and defeats in
its never ending search for the spiritual
last nights performance of -'Tannhauser'
must have meant much.
OF the beautiful performance of Nine

Gadskis excellent portrayal OF Elisabeth.
OF the dignihed Wolfram of Clarence

this date, though last night Nine Gadski

her scene with Tannhauser AT the begin
ming of the second act
But the event OF the evening was the
New York debut OF Leo SIezak in the part
OF Tannhauser- This young Bohemian
tenor has already firmly established his po-
stion at the Metropolitan by his imper-
sonations of Otello, Manrico and Rhadames.
Last night he showed his understanding OF
opera OF another spirit and gave in the
part of the suffering knight a notable ad-
dition to the names with which the part
has been associated.
Mr.. Slezak was IN figure knightly indeed.
There was dignity in his carriage and his
facial expression and manner were remark
ably indicative OF his souls struggle
poetry and uplifted by imagination. a per-
fornance in every way worthy of the char
acter and OF the opera. and the audience.
both in size and in enthusiasm, was worthy
of the performance.

ship i'm Arcadia, a beautiful mountain
country in the heart of Greece His strange
ways interest the innocent shepherds and
shepherdesses. All goes well until he tells
a lie Then he is given a bath i'm the we'll
of truth and comes forth young man
purged of his sin. He is called Simplicitas.
He tells these charming folk of London,
and they decide TO go with him to England
to reform the people.
The second scene is laid at the Ask
wood racetrack, near London. where the
gayety of the season is reproduced with
remarkable fidelity and beauty. Here
Simplicitas meeJs his own wife, whose
part is excellently taken by Connie Ediss,
but she doesn't recognize him in Arcadian
costume. The third act pictures Smiths
hotel transformed into an Arcadian res
taurant of exquisite beauty, where nuts
and fruit are served by Grecian n1aidens
and Peter Doody, a reformed jockey per
cival knight. Smith. or Simplicitas, is
detected in a lie again, and after another
bath in the well of truth he comes out
his old self and confesses his escapade to
his wife.
The beauty of the piece is not revealed in
the story of the play. That lies in it's ex-
charm and the grace of the women who
take the principal parts. In addition there
is much clever comedy. contributed largely
by Percival Knight Frank Moulan and
Connie Ediss
Mr. Frohman has gathered his cast from
both sides of the Atlantic. He presented
more beautiful women prettily gowned,
than have been seen on any New York
