GREAT FALLSNOT
IN NORMAL RACE
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. MAKES
ITS POSITION CLEAR
ON QUESTION
Law Passed at Last Legislature Ex-
pressly Eliminates Electric City,
Reyn LeedOm Points Out; Billings
Complies With Provisions

Because of the numerous inquiries re-
ceived by the Great Falls Chamber Of
Commerce as to what that city is doing
to obtain the proposed new state normal
school, Reyn LeedOm, secretary, has
Investigated the matter and found that
under chapter 16O of the session laws
of 1925, the law authorizing the school,
Great Falls is barred from cOnsidera-
ton, it being provided that the school
shall be east of the 10th meridian, while
Great Falls is west of it.
Mr.. LeedOm has also found that the
selection Of Billings as the location of the
schnol, by a commission appointed by the
state board of education, assumes the
status of law, as chapter 160 has made it
optional with the state board to select the
site or to delegate this to a commission.
The other provisions of the statute have
been compiled with, one of which is that
the city selected sail pay the expenses of
the commission, which Billings has done.
Billings Donates Site
Another requirement of the chapter is
that the successful city shall donate to the
state the site selected by the commission,
this to be done within six months after
the selection. Billings has taken steps to
do this and is raising $4,000 to buy the
site. The commissions action has been
approved by the state board Of education,
Mr.. LeedOm has found.
The name of Great Falls was not before
the 1925 legislature in connection with the
normal school. Billings and Miles City
were the cOntenderS, but neither side had
the necessary strength. The enactment Of
chapter 16O was a compromise.
The commission name d by the state
board Of education under the provisions OF
the law consisted Of George Black, presi-
dent of the Washington normal school
Ellenburgh; Frank r. Baker, president OF
the Wisconsin normal school, Milwaukee
and c. H. Fisher president Of the state
normal school, Bellingham, Wash. They
met at G1endive on July q to begin theiI
! tour of inspection, which concluded al
Havre on August 4.
City PurpOsely Eliminated
In designating that the school must bt
east Of the 10th meridian, the Legislature
purpOsely excluded Great Falls from con
sideratiOn. This line runs a short distance
west Of Havre and also west Of LewistOwn
| but go miles east Of Great Falls. Many
cities applied for the school.
The matter will now go before the legis
lature, which must make an appropriation
before construction of buildings can be
gin. The state board Of education hal
made no recommendations in this respect
leaving it to the legislature.

A biography Of the late Charles M.

it. Maybe Lorrie Bennett would come over
when he saw her sitting there-maybe he
was waiting for a chance.
The music started, and as if by black
magic people melted away from either side
of Carolyn. In five minutes she felt totally
exposed, sitting stark alone against the
wall. Fiercely she took herself in hand
mentally. This didn't matter. Why
shouldn't she sit here and enjoy the light
and music and the lovely dresses? Why
need she be a fool about sitting out a
dance? Reasonably she ought to. enjoy it.
These were her friends. Every one here
who knew her liked her. 1t was an acci-
dent. And still it was not easy. It was far
from easy. She knew that no reason pre-
vailed against TIE fact that she was in
the middle of a group which had it's own
customs and that according to those Gus
toms she ought to be dancing.
Across the room in the doorway stood
some men. They were the test. If none of
! them came to ask her to dance, she was
almost openly rejected. Among them, with
his keen, alert handsome face scanning
the dancers, stood LOrrie Bennett. Why
thought Carolyn in very decency he must
come and ask me to dance.
