Some of Mi" following fact-! taken from the complete report might be of interest to the readers of the Daily Register: During the year ending June an, time were enrolled in the Nor mal school SS! students, and in the I Training students. During year ending June 11)20, the en rollment in the Normal school was i i and the 1 raining school JOS students. This as an increase of 200 students in tiie N'ormal school and 70 students in the Training sc'nool.

A ft discussing the history of the tution, the inspector says in regard to Sullivan Hall: "It has large reception halls, well 1 ventilate! te rooms with not anl i cold water in each room, large kitchen and 'dining room. The resident. dean of women is in charge of this I hall, and keens in touch with each I girls student who resides in the hall.l The rooms, kitchen and dining room i I a. 1 and all departments in this huildii.iv I.o Angeles, Jan.

il' sets forth the fact that last yea? there was a net loss of 1 (il A'-'-, an' for th year ending June 11)2'), the net loss was i These apparent losses to the farm. Ill'- administration explains, are occasioned by the fact that improvements amounting to more than these sums ere made on the farm during tin so ears; and by the further fact that the product, wero sold to the dormitories at wholesale prices. He men lions the faet that the dormitories are boarding -Indents the low price-of a week. "Teachers have been paying "0 a week, and in the fu- lure will be charged a higher lien ne proceeds: ny hot. lncy are not paying1 a legitimate price for the foodstull's ohiained from tiie farm.

The board of n-gents, in view of the! fact if tin- very low salaries that I teachers have been receiving iu the' past, decided to furnish them food at rue very lowest possible ince con- sislent with good diet. The farm and! dormitory have been considered as single unit, just as a fanner's home is considered a part of his farm, and il l. as long as both together did not lose I money, the regents thought that the! students ought to have the advantage' of it.
