At the head of the manual training department, which was installed this year, we have a very able instructor in the person of Mr. A. C. Dcnccn. Mr. Dcnccn is a graduate of the River Falls Normal School, and has met with marked success in positions held previous to accepting the position in our Normal. Among these positions are schools mr. a. c. dknkkn jn Hudson, Kau Claire, Mcnasha, evening school in free hand drawing at Poppenhausen Institute, College Point, L. 1., and design work in Prang Summer School at St. Johnsvillc, New York.

His success in this department, as well as his success in athletics, has made him a popular member of the faculty. Miss Blanche Herzog.
