Hvatt, Principal Training School; C. H. Knapp, General Assistant; m.a L. Steward, Assistant in Mathematics. A room was fitted «1 on the third floor, thus making five class rooms in addition to the assembly room. The students still had the use of Prof. Barges Private library, and the trustees gradually increased the number of books belonging to the school and purchased a limited supply ot apparatus. The literary societies during the third year were under the supervision of two members of the faculty. The membership was kept balanced, and work of different kinds assigned, and a record of results kept. Twenty-four members of the senior class were graduated at the end of the school year, though the enrollment had dropped to 117. For the first three years of the school there were no commencement addresses. Each member of the graduating class prepared a theis, and all or a selected number of the class read them as a part of the graduating exercises. Of the thirteen graduated at the end ot the first vear, eleven took part in the eommenement program. The sub¬ jects were: “When My Ship Comes In,” “Dreams,” “Profit Sharing.” “Cities of the Dead,” “Gilt-Edged Humanity,” “Voyage of the Soul”—a poem, “The Eternal Fitness of Things,” “To Him that Overcometh,” “Chiseling in Human Marble,” “Education, “Help Me Up.” These interspersed with music made the program of the evening. At the close of the third year an entire day was used in the delivery of theses and the hall was full morning and afternoon. From that time for a number of years the senior theses were read wholly or in part to the school at special sessions or as a part of the graduating exercises. At the end of the third year Principal Barge resigned and was succeeded by Prof. P. A. Getz, who had been for some time a member of the faculty of the Oregon State Normal School at Monmouth, Ore¬ gon. Miss Anna Steward was elected critic teacher of the training schools, the duties of training school principal being undertaken by Principal Getz. The following additional departments were estab lished: Historv and Geography, C. H. Knapp; Music, franny A. Avres; Drawing, Ruth A. Turner. The use of a room in the Normal Building was donated to Miss Lydia Mur |uis on condition that she establish a kindergarten. This offer was accepted, and thus was established the earliest permanent kindergarten in the Northwest. At the beginning of the fourth year, September, 1K94, the new building was occupied. Tliis building is situated on a block of land. P»ffe 15.
