SHOWS LOYALTY TO
NORMAL SCHOOL

Reverend c. w. FinWall addressed
students and faculty briefly in Thurs
days chapel exercises. Until resently
he has been an official in the Law En-
forcement League of North Dakota.
The speaker knew of the keen inter-
est which abounds among the students
in regard to legislative appropriations
for V. C. N. during the next bienniunl.
He said it was encouraging to know
that the head of the senate appropria-
lions committee is warm friend OF
the institution.
There are SO counties in North Da-
kota divided into legislative districts.
Each district has representative in
the Senate and from one to four in
the House. The appropriation COM
mittee in the House and the appropria-
ton committee in the Senate deter
mine the appropriations of this insti-
tuition. 1t has been understood that
this institution needs more than $780,
900 for it's maintenance and provis-
ion made for another building and to
keep the school in good repair.
Mr.. Finwall declared he was anxious
to see a good school of this kind main
tanned in high fashion. The purpose
of the institution is to put out good
teachers and we should have good
teachers in the public schools.
From his observation in those
schools he has visited he said that if
teachers are we'll trained. and are
neat, accurate, hearty in their work,
and who emphasize work above play
they are the kind of teachers who
mold right standards and ideals in
their pupils.
Citizenship is something worth
while. The three elements of good
citizenship which are essential are
the home: the school: and the church.
Clean homes. good clean schools, and
the ACCESSIBILITY of knocking up with
the church Of ones choice are factors
which make for sound citizenship.
This State Normal School is North
Dakota's oldest and largest and best
located Normal Schools. His asser-
tions as given throughout the speech
gave evidence that Mr.. Finwall be-
lieves the appropriations are neces-
sary and should not be delayed, as it
is not only the right step in econ
omy but an intelligent investment to
have the appropriations assigned.
Tho interesting tonic Of the talk to-
gether with his enthusiastic manner
won the interest and appreciation Of
everyone who heard him.
