BRIGHT FUTURE FOR NORMAL
AT ALBION

Wednesday, and spoke very highly OF
the work being done in this South
Idaho institution. Mr.. Cave believes
that material progress in Idaho must
go hand in hand with pro-
gress along educational lines,
and believes that the Albion
Normal has great mission in rapid
ly developing South Idaho. In speak
ing of school prospects for the com
irg year Mr.. Cave said:
Everything promises the best
school year in the history of our
institution. The Normal idea is grow
ing in Idaho. Teachers and prospect
i've teachers are beginning to see the
necessity of profession II training for
the highest success. School boards
are demanding normal trained teach
ers and ambitious teachers everywhe. 4
are planning to take normal work.
Last year we had gain of 78 per cent
in attendance over the preceding
ear, and We are anticipating as
great a gain for the coming year"
Our teaching force next year will
probably not be excelled by any CORPS
of normal teachers in the west. We
are especially fortunate in securing
the service of Miss Mary Proudfoot
as Supervisor of Training. There
are few training teachers in the east
or west SO thoroughly prepared and
experienced. Miss Proudfoot is a
graduate of the Chicago Kindergarten
Institute, and of the famous Pesta.
! loZZi-Froebel house, Germany. Sh
studied education in the University of
Berlin and has the degrees bachelor
of arts and master of arts from Colum-
bia University where she took spe-
cial work in the school of education.
Miss Proudfoot was for five years
supervisor of kindergarten and pri-
mary grades in the State Normal
at Ellensburg, Washington, was prin-
C pal of the training school at Cohoes,
New York for one year and later sup.
ervisor of primary training in Mary
land"
Miss Amy F. Arey is also a val
liable addition to our faculty. Miss
Arey is graduate of the Iowa
State Teachers College of Grinnell
College and has a master of arts de-
gree from Columbia University where
her major work was in the School
of Education. The President of the
State Normal School at Brocksport
N Y, where Miss Arey has been
primary critic the past three years

teachers he has ever known. Miss
Arey will have charge of our primary
