The annual report of the Normal school has been approved by the board and is ready to be submitted to the governor. The report is that of the president of the board, the president of the facuty, the secretary and the treasurer. It shows that the year just closed was the most successful in the history of the school, there being an average term attendance of 474. Considering the poor facilities of tbe school, owing to the fire, too much praise cannot be accorded the board for their success. The secretary and treasurer's report shows the funds on hand to bo ?44,479,92. Of this $8,362,57 is tuition funds $10.22 library $30,622,21 repair, and $5,484,92 for incidentals. The city is to be congratulated on the restoration of the school at a cost of $150,000, donated by it and tbe state, completely covers it. This includes the beautiful walks and fence which add so much to the appearance of the building.

From what has been heard on various
sides an impression is abroad that IS
faculty and students *t the Kose Polytechnic came in conflict last week. This idea Is without the least foundation. There was a disagreement between one of tho students and one professor which led to tbe temporary suspension of the student, but the entire matter was satisfactorily adjusted all round, and the sentiment between faculty and students is as warm as ever. The foundation for the report which gained circulation was in an item which appeared in the News, to tbe effect that the students would not tolerate the spying of the faculty in and around the halls. The students voluntarily declared that this item did not voice their sentiments, and there the entire discussion ended. There is probably no school in the country where the faculty and students are on better terms than in the Polytechnic, and that this condition of affairs will continue is assured by the consideration and liberality of the faculty and general character of the students.
