Uitpranj A REFLECTION When my study wearied eyes Turn from books to read the skies. Then my fancy wanders far. Out beyond the farthest star. High into the boundless scope. For a measure of my hope. Then I make my greatest plea. And my prayer shall always be. That my heart may ever keep That great kindness, real and deep. Which, when best, from cant is free. And can smile true charity. IS

we have spent sleepless hours thinking of him and his future; we have sacrificed many things, as parents must always do and arc glad to do. We love him well, and now that the time of parting has come, we forget all our past worry and care and tears and know only that he is about to pass from our charge. Imperfect parents and protectors as we are. we have done our best for him and we give him now to you. Farewell, dear child of ours. Much have you done for us. something may you do for others. Farewell. He is yours. Love him and cherish him that he may grow to man s estate. M R U C: Two Important Events. HE trustees have ta ken up the matter of the water supply for the lawn and hope this summer to have in opera- 771 lion a water system of their own which will give the much needed supply to the whole grounds. 1 he water I I is brought through a main from the town ditch (an irrigation ditch a few blocks north of the school) and the trustees feel that through this supply the lawns can be taken care of during the months when the city supply is inadequate to the demand upon it. Anderson Street, which runs south from the Normal entrance, was graded and parked last year, lire result was so gratifying that the property owners have decided to similarly improve Eighth Street, which runs east and west in front of the Normal. The work is progressing favorably, and although we arc treated to many discomforts now. we look forward to the time when this will be a fitting approach to the Normal grounds. ' The news of the passage of the appropriation bill by the Olympia Legislators was greeted with great dehghtbythe whole school. The bill appropriated $73,000. for the erection of new buildings, a training school building, cost and an outside heating plant to heat both buildings, cost $10 000. At this early date nothing definite has been planned® done, but the officers hope to have the new building ready for occupancy in the fall of 1908 The rooms »°w occupied by the training department, when vacated, will be utilized for the regular work of the school. It is hoped they will supply room for the enlargement of the library and the establishing of suitable offices for the teachers and officers of the school. Our school was honored on April 15. by a visit from Governor Mead and two members of the Board of Contra. Mr. Tones and Mr. Davis. This Board of Control, of which Mr. Piles of Seattle is chairman, was created by the last Leg¬ islature to construct the buildings of the several State Educational Institutions with the exception of the buildings for the State University. The Board brought with it Mr. Zittcl. an architect from Spokane, who is to make the plans and super¬ vise the construction of the buildings here and at the Cheney Normal School The Board instructed the Trustees to supply the architect with the necessary data, that he may prepare the plans. Furthermore they provided that, when the plans hav— been made in every way satisfactory to the trustees, they are to be sent to the Board for its approval. The gentlemen spoke to the students at two thirty, at which time they expressed their hearty interest in the Educaj tional Institutions of the state, and their realization of their value to the state I hey furthermore indicated their interest by their prompt action in beginning plans for the construction of the much needed new buildings. 3. rv. vv.
