o,br formal O UR school is located at Ellenshurg, the metropolis of the fertile Kittitas val¬ ley. It is in the most attractive residence portion of the city, with an eleva¬ tion of 1570 feet above sea level, and commanding an extensive view of the sur¬ rounding country. The grounds consist of six and a quarter acres, with three up- to-date buildings on them; the central building. Normal proper, and the heating plant being on the south block and the training school on the north block. flic grounds are kept in the most | erfect manner and in the spring and fall terms, the beautiful rows of trees, the lieds of fragrant flowers, and the large spaces of green give a most charming and inviting appearance. We have gardens, two tennis courts, am! a field for the practice of out of door sports. The climate is invigorating, healthful and ideal for the life of a student. In the distance may be seen the lofty Cascades, whose foot hills are cut by many picturesque canyons whose rugged walls are witnesses to many student merry makings. As in the life of any growing organism, certain events show life and growth. In the history of this school the three most prominent events are: the coming into exist¬ ence of our school by act of legislation March 8th, 1890; the burbling and equipping of the central building in 1893; the building of the training school in 1908. The first date marks the good intention of the state, the second the wherewithal to make a good school, and the third a successful growth. The commodious new training school stands out as furnishing the latest necessary factor in the development of the Normal school. The purpose of our school is to educate and train teachers for their work. To fulfill this purpose two things are necessary, proper instruction and a place to put such instruction into practice. We have both. In a small school unlike a large one each student comes to know all members of the faculty personally. I think this must lie especially true in our school, and that the students not only get the learning they desire hut come to love and respect all. The central building is furnished with an assembly hall, class rooms, physical and chemical laboratories, art and music studios, a library, gymnasium,, offices, all furnished with the l est to be had. The training school is modern in every particular. There are ten grades of tin- training school, and the kindergarten department. This work is under excellent supervision and it is indeed a great pleasure to teach there. Our principal first entered upon his duties in our school in 189X. He came from live Normal School of Providence, Rhode Island. We look upon him with pride and love. With pride because we see the results of his excellent work as an educator, and because we know him to be considered by those people engaged in similar work in our state, as one of their liest. With love because lie has the welfare of every indi¬ vidual student truly at heart, because we feel that we can go to him as a true friend and receive the right kind of encouragement. Few who read this lxiok will fail to recognize the name of our vice-principal, Professor J. H. Morgan. The fact that those who have been under his influence never forget him and always are anxious to grasp his baud in friendship, is the liest testimony we can furnish of the place he holds in the lives of all of us.
