HEAD NORMAL

Lynn G. McMullen, director of the
Training school, State Teachers col
lege, has been appointed president of
at Flagstaff, according to word re-
ceived in Greeley Thursday while Pro-
fessor McMullen was attending the
Frontier day celebration at Cheyenne.
Professor McMullen is frankly
pleased at the appointment because
of the opportunity it affords an edu-
Gator. Arizona's public school system
ranks second in the classification of
public school systems based on eff
cheney. The ranking was made by the
federal bureau of education. At pres
ent some $50 students are attending
the summer session at Flagstaff. A
new training school, fine building, is
being completed for the fall term, and
a modern residence for the president
is being built On the campus. The
Flagstaff institution furnishes teach
ers for a large section of the territory
between southern Colorado and east
ern California, along the main line of
the Santa Fe railroad and its ''feed-
ers."
$4,000 a year, plus quarters and board
in a dormitory and the use of tour
ing car. The new residence for the
president will be available for him
shortly, as completion of it is being
rushed.
The local educator succeeds Presi-
dent Creager, former commissioner of
education for Wyoming, who goes to
the education department Of Arizona
university. Creager is making the
move because of the health of his son,
who is unable to stand the 7,000-foot
altitude of Flagstaff.
Professor McMullen, left Saturday
afternoon for Flagstaff to arrange the
personnel of the new training school.
He will return shortly and plans to
leave Greeley about Aug. Is for his
new post permanently. The new pres
ident and his wife will drive through
to Flagstaff where he will take up his
duties permanently Sept. l.
Professor McMullen came to the
Teachers college last summer from
Teachers College Columbia university
where he was doing special graduate
work. Before he entered Columbia for
graduate work he was vice president
of the State Normal school at Valley
City, N D., and previous to that he
was II years in the Shortridge high
school at Indianapolis. ..
Professor McMullen ranks among
the four best tennis players in Greeley
He also made distinct hit in the May
Music Festival production Of "The
Mikado," where he gave an interpreta-
tion Of Pooh-Bah Lord Hight Every
thing else, which was one Of the hits
of that sidesplitting performance.
Mrs. McMullen was instrumental in
organizing the Greeley Woman's club
of which she is now the first presi-
dent.
Professor McMullen remarked with
twinkle in his eye that the Arizona
school has cement tennis courts on
the campus.
When Professor McMullen came to
Greeley last summer he was unable to
obtain a house for sometime and he
and his wife camped at the city camp
ing grounds at Island Grove park. He
now resides at 1914 NineteerA street.
President John G. Crabbe of the
Teachers college was much pleased at
Professor McMullen7s appointment.
He believes that it reflects honor on
the caliber of instruction offered at the
local school.
"Unless the state provides better
pay for members of the faculty Of her
institutions other states will soon
have our best men," DR.. Crabbe thinks.
