this afternoon.
Ninety students attended the sum
mer normal az Nsleta last year, said
Dr. White. This number might easily
have been $50, had 1t not been for dis
turbed conditions on the border. 1t will
be impossible FOR Nsleta to undertake
to hold the normal this summer. vet We
desire If possible, to retain the normal
IN IL PasO county and eventually to
make It a tTans-Pecos normal or a tri-
state normal If it can be maintained
in west Texas for a short time. am
confident that an appropriation VIII be
made by the state legislature for IL
eventually and that 1t viii be Derma-
nently established here.

am confident that with the proper pre-
hminary work. 200 OF more students
may be enrolled this summer. If this
number may be enrolled, the tuition of

penses OF the institution.
All the normal needs. to be held in
