 President McMullen returned from Phoenix Saturday morning, where he spent the whole of last week in con- sultation with committees of the leg islature in regard to the appropriation for the support of the Normal school. He reports the appropriation allowed by the legislature as most gratifying for the outcome of the Normal school. The legislature was confronted with difficult economic situation, but han dled it with fairness, insofar as the Northern Arizona Normal school was concerned. The school asked for a to- tai of $373,0 ,000 for capital investment, repairs and maintenance. When the appropriation bill came from confer ence, it was found that the school had been allowed S50,000 for capital in vestment, $12,000 for repairs and $285, ,000 for maintenance for the next biennium-a total of S347 ,000 While this is less than could have been used to advantage, it is an increase over the last biennium. Good judgment was used in making the cut, and, a friend of the school remarked, "the cut will heal without leaving a scar" Friends of the school will be glad to know that the substantial growth that the school is making is not to be in terefered with.
 In Mondays assembly President McMullen spoke to the students upon the workings of the legislature.
