Tuesday, Sept. 14tb
Several Changes in the Faculty


Arrangements have been practical
iy completed for the opening of the
1920-21 school year at the Normal
school. Some new equipment has
been installed and part of the build
ings redecorated. The Home Econ
ornics Department has been removed
70 the basement of South Hall in
rooms remodeled for this department.
New equipment has been installed in
the cafeteria.
Indications are that the enrolment
will be about normal. The teacher
shortage has resulted in number of
young people entering the teaching
work direct form high school without
Normal training or with only six
weeks course. This may reduce the
number of young women ip training
but it is expected that any such short
age will be made good by increased
enrolment in other departments.
