NORMAL TO RE- OPEN SEP. IS

Tt is bit early to attempt to
estimate the number of students
who will enroll at the Normal next
September, but from the CORES
pondence from prospective st u
dents and from other indications,
it seems safe to predict a gain ov-
er last years total. The enroll
ment last year was nearly 500 stu
dents, and it is confidently ex-
pected that there will be at least
$50 this Fall.
A new position, that of Dean of
Women, has been added to the
Normal school faculty. The Board
of Regents has elected Miss Ber-
III &c Sanford to this office. 1t
will be her duty to look after the
social life in which the young
ladies of the school are concerned,
and questions of discipline among
the girls will be referred to her.
Miss Mary B. Mcmillan, of Grand
Rapids, Wis, has been engaged as
assistant in mathmatics. Miss Nc
MILAN is graduate of the Stew
ems Point Normal school and of
the university of Wisconsin. She
has a Masters Degree from h e
latter institution.

Of the cooking classes of the Do

NEW BUILDING TO Be READY

President, Crabtree, in a recent
interview, stated that the new
Normal school building will be
ready for occupancy by September
Is, the date of the opening of the
Fall term of school, and that there
is absolutely no ground for the
rumor that the building would not
be ready until in October. The
new building will undoubtedly be
in shape for furnishing, etc., be-
fore the first of the month, as per
contract.
Last Saturday about twenty la
borers at the Normal threw down
their tools and quit work when
one of their number was laid off
for loafing on the job. Their places
were filled the first of the week
by an importation of laborers from
the Twin City. Dame Rumor put
the story of that affair out in a
twisted form too, circulating it
about that the Russians had q III t
work here to return to their native
land and be ready for army service
with the Triple Entente.
Two and one-half lots from the
Morrow property have been added
to the school grounds, at cost
of $4,000.

Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. 4.-The open
ing day Of the fair, Sept. IA, will be
devoted entirely to automobile races.
Such stars as Tetzlaff, Carlson,
Hughes, and half a dozen others of
national reputation, will compete in
at least six events. TAe program Of
races will not be announced until
shout Sept. /, for the reason that
those In charge OF these events desire
to arrange the best program possible.
The state fair track is one of the
fastest ordinary courses for auto
drivers in the world Both Oldfeld
and Burnam have broken worlds REQ
ords over it.
Because Of the fact that Sept. IA
will be devoted entirely to auto races,
special efforts will be made to have as
many automobile owners of Wisconsin
and nearby sections of Illinois and
Iowa in attendance as possible.
The Wisconsin Motorist is making
earnest efforts to have a big showing
of motorists, in addition to what is
being done in this direction by the
fair board itself.
There are nearly $4,000 owners OF
automobiles in Wisconsin, and of this
number about 10000 reside in Milwau-
kee county. Efforts are being made
to have $4,000 automobiles on the
grounds on Automobile Day. Figuring
five passengers to car as an average,
$4,000 would be taken to the grounds
In autos, if auto owners turn out as
they are expected to on this day. If
only half of this number turn out,
however, crowd of nearly $4,000 will
be on the grounds on opening day.
For the first time since the fair has
been in existence, an auto can be driv.
en- from the center of Milwaukee all
the way to the fair gates on asphalt
pavement by the time the fair opens.
The Blue Mound road has been paved
to the Hawley road, and the Hawley
road is being paved from the Blue
Mound road to National avenue at the
present time. This gives a roadway
without rut all the way to the fair.
A special attraction to all auto own.
ers also will be the automobile display
this year, bigger and better than ever.
The superintendent of the department
announces that he will have on exhibi.
ton the 1915 models of cars used prin.
cipally in Wisconsin, thus beating all
automobile shows in this line of ex-
hibits by at least four months. There
will be many more exhibits than ever
before in the automobile department.
and the exhibits will ia more varied.
