—( onics Highly Recommended.
F. H. Umholtz, who has been
president of the Central State
Normal school for five years and
who has soen service through
, three different administrations
has resigned, to take effect
September first. His resignation
has been accepted and the board
of education for Normal schools
has elected Thos. \V. Butcher, of
Wellington, Kas., principal of the
Sumner county high schools, as
Mr. Umholtz's successor.
Mr. Umholtz was elected pres-
ident of the Central State Nor- |
mal school in July, 1900. Dur- i departme
ing his administration the school! and Prof. uauiwll was trang.

his degree. The Sun is informed
he has been elected each suc-
ceeding year to his persent po-
sition, without a dissenting vote
from the school board. This is
certainly an excellent recom-
mendation. For the past four
years Prof. Butcher has been a
member of the board of regents
of the Kansas State University,
consequently has had every op-
portunity to keep in touch with
higher education in all its phaz-
es. Prof. Butcher will doubtless
arrive here about the middle of
July and when tho fall term
opens will have become familiar
with th© work her©.
Other Normal School Matters.
Other business transacted by
the board, of interest to Edmond
people, are the resignations of
