later, the Harrison School at Wetitworth Avenue and Twentieth Street became a practice school. In the meantime Arnold Tompkins had succeeded Colonel Parker as principal of the Chicago Normal College and its two practice schools. In 190S, Mrs. Klla Flagg Young became principal. Her entire career had b een identified with Chicago schools, for she had taught in elementary schools, been principal of elementary schools and a district superin- tendent. In 1910 she left the Chicago Nor- mal College and became superintendent of the Chicago school system. In that year William Bishop Owen, well-known to all, came to the Chicago Normal College as its fourth principal. In 1909 the Carter School, situated at Wabash Avenue and Sixty-First Street, became the third prac- tice school. Until 1920 the Parker Prac- tice, the Harrison, or the Haines Practice as it has been called since 191, , and the Carter Practice furnished norma] students with fields for practice. For the past two years, under a new plan, fitt ' practice schools, scattered throughout the city, have been used. This plan has made the Chicago school system a more compact unit by bringing the elementary schools into closer touch with the work of the Chicago Normal College. In 191 5 an important addition to the college was made. For then the .Arts Building, with its splendid gymnasium, white-tiled nata- toriiun, well-equipped kitchens and dining rooms, and studios furnished with all stimulations to artistic production, com- pleted the trio ' of structures that represent the Chicago Normal College. Out of that past has come our college of to-day with its faculty called together from many quarters. The Chicago Normal College Faculty of 1922: William Bishop Owen, Principal. John W.
