Montgomery, June S.-iopecidi.l-A io presidents of all the normal schools Of the state have been reelected with the exception of Prof. M. c. Wilson of the Florence school, whose resignation has been accepted by the board of trustees of the state normal schools which has been in session in this city for two days. Announcement to this effect was made tonight by Superintendent of Education Henry J. Willingham, ex officio secre- tary of the board. The presidency of the Florence Normal school, 1t is announced, will be filled at another session of the board, probably later in the summer
 The faculties of the normal schools have also been announced by the board, though there are few selections yet to be made.
 The present session of the board of been a notable one. A number of changes have been made in the courses or study of these several institutions and the schools have been better graded and classified. The course of study which was recommended by the presidents or the normal schools was unanimously adopted by the board According to this course greater uniformity has been ob- tained and the standard of the normal schools have been in several instances raised. The course of study as pre- scribed by the presidents of the nor nal schools and adopted by the board of trustees, elevates the entrance re- quirement of these schools to the ninth grade work in the county high schools, allowing only students who are able to do second year high school work to be- come enrolled.
 Another change made by the board was in the classincatlon of the normal schools. Under the new system there are two grades of normal schools known as Class A and Class B. The older nor nal schools have been put in the first class, which includes the schools at Florence, Livingston, Jacksonville and Troy. The institutions at Daphne and Moundvlle are rated in Class B. Two distinct courses of study have been pre- scribed The first of these courses em- brace work covering four years, while the second course requires two years for graduation.
 The board of trustees made the Liv- ingston Normal school an institution ex- clusively for girls. Regarding salaries or the presidents of the normal schools the board adopted what may be regarded sliding scale The salary of the heads of the four schools rated in Class was fixed at $2700 annually, thus raising the compensation of certain presidents and reducing that of others. The sal ary of the president of the Daphne Nor mai school was fixed at $liO0 and the head of the Moundville school was given $1500 annually. The board of trustees IS in session tonight and it is announced that rules and regulations for the man agement of the normal institutions are
 consideration.
 The board will also meet tomorrow, and is expected to conclude It's three days session by Saturday afternoon. It Is not believed that the board will elect the president of the Florence Normal school at its session tomorrow as 1t is announced that this matter has not been gone into further than to ac- cept Professor Wilson's resignation.
 It was also announced that fewer changes were made in the faculty of that institution than In any other of the normal schools. The following are the presidents and faculty of the state normal schools as given out by the board of trustees.
