Governor Withycombe Visited Normal.

Last Thursday morning during the
chapel period the normal school was
honored by the presence of Governor
Withycombe, who addressed the stu
dents. His great interest in the vocation
of education and especially in the edu-
cation of the teacher made him more
than welcome in the normal schools and
the faculty and students regretted very
much that his time was so limited and
could not stay longer with them. In
his address he told the students of his
interest in the Oregon State Normal
school work. He stated that he consid-
cred the teacher as the holder of the
most important position as they are the
ones who help to make the education
of Oregon. He encouraged them to do
their best in the teachers work which
meant and means much better cduca-
ton and a higher form of civilization
for the people of our state and other
states. The students were pleased to
hear Governor Withyeombe say that he
now realizes the crowded condition in
! the normal school chapel, whereas be-
fore his visit he only had an idea. Mr..
Withycomb promised to do his best to-
wards the interests of the state normal
