point Of view of educational training
and experience, is better adapted to the
needs Of the institution than A. q.
Crane of jamestown, who has been
elected president of the new Minot
normal school. Mr.. Cranes entire
educational experience has been spent
in Minnesota, North Dakota ami hon

tional career He studied public
