Repents were unanimous in their opinion that a Normal School be built in Eau Claire. At the session of 1909, we went before the Legislature and sc-sured the passage of a bill providing that the next Normal School erected should be in Eau Claire on condition that the city furnish all the ground, gratuitously, that would be necessary to take care of the needs of a Normal School in the future. Other cities who were contestants for a Normal School at this time were Marinette, Oconto. Green Bay and Rhinelander. Late in August of 1909 a committee was appointed to come to Eau Claire and select a site for the new school. After a careful consideration of sites, of which there were many, the present site was selected. In 1910 the City of Eau Claire deeded to the State of Wisconsin without cost, twelve acres of land for that purpose. This was accepted by the state. In 1911. when the Legislature met, a hill was passed authorizing the State Board of Normal Regents to improve the grounds selected, and to prepare plans and specifications for the Normal School building, which were to be submitted to the next Legislature. We also secured the passage of another hill, which seemed quite insignificant at that time. The bill provided that the Board of Normal School Regents proceed at once to grade and beautify the Normal School grounds, and that a sufficient sum he allowed out of the general fund to take care of expenses thus incurred. That was an entering wedge, because of the fact that we got some of the state’s money. We did quite a lot of grading the following summer. In 1913 the Legislature, after considering the plans submitted, appropriated the sum of $225,000 for a Normal School building. This amount was divided into three installments of $75,000 each, extending over a period of three years. In September of 1915 we began the foundation of the building. In September 1916. the building was completed. Two years ago we secured an amount of money sufficient to take care of the operating expenses of the school for the year 1916-1917. EMMET HORAN. SIGNS OF SPRING. Out of the clouds comes the sun. Tommy and Tim start to run. They talked to the jay And asked him to stay. He said that he would If he possibly could. Then they danced in high glee. And climbed up in a tree. —Mary Jane Culver, 6th Grade.
