The Eastern Kentucky State Nor
mai School is beautifully located with
in ten minutes walk of the business
section of Richmond, on a rise of
ground overlooking the city, and per-
hitting an extensive view of the Blue
Grass region. Everything about the
spacious grounds is in the best pos
sible condition, and is a credit to Rich
mond and a credit to the State. Space
permits us to merely touch upon this
wonderfully conducted State educa-
tional institution, and its great benefits
to the teachers of Kentucky, and no
credit is too great to be bestowed
upon President Crabbe, his able fac
ulty, and the gentlemen who compose
the various committees connected with
the Eastern Kentucky State Normal
School.
