First Building in North Mankato.
From what can be cleaned of the
past, o. ]. Westover built the first
house on the site of North Man
kato in the year 1867. 1t was built
on the piece of land now known as
Nels Anderson's Addition and Hunts
addition to North Mankato. 1t faced
on the old river road south Of the
present Nicollet avenue. The heavy
timber and dense underground
everywhere was an ideal rendezvous
for the Sioux Indians who made it
their winter quarters. Twenty FIVE
years later the ploughman encoun-
tered decayed stumps on this piece
of land which Westover cleared. The
house was built of logs made from
the timber cut on the land. 1t was
the usual type of houses built in
pioneer days One room and one
story high.

BOUQUET for Normal Board,

ST. Cloud Journal Press: The an
nual meeting of the state normal
board is being held in st. Cloud to-
day, and it may be said that it is
one of the most important boards Of
the state. There are other boards
which make more noise, get into
the columns of the newspapers oft
ener-but none which perform a
greater service to the state.
This board is made up of able
and representative citizens from va
rious sections of the state, and they
are actuated by one motive only
that of the patriotic purpose to help
Minnesota.
They receive no compensation and
devote a great deal of their time
which is valuable because every
member is man Of important af-
fairs, and it is real sacrifice to
take the time to attend the meet
ings and look after the interests of
the five normal schools.
The normal schools, we believe,
from a long observation of their
work, are giving the state better re-
turns for the cost to the taxpayers
than any other educational machin-
cry, with the possible exception of
the common schools, which are of
course the primary necessity. And
these public schools, by being fur
nished trained teachers, which is
the business of the normals, give
much better results than would be
possible without the normals.
The high standing of the normal
board has done much to inspire con-
fidence in these schools, and has
created public appreciation, which
has resulted in fair treatment from
the legislature. Time was when the
normal schools were treated much
as mendicants by the men who made
the appropriations, but this condi-
ton has given place to liberal con-
sideration.
1t is pleasure to meet the mem
bers of the board and the presidents
of the normal schools, all of whom
are doing so efficient work for the
commonwealth.
