education Of teachers The True Wing says:
This PROJECT will meet the hearty approya
OF every friend of education in the State Sim
liar schools have been established in othe
States, and IN every instance have worked ad
mirably. The great difficulty in the way of til
success of the educational system in the soutl
has ever been tie want of teachers educated
among us, acquainted with our habits and pc
cuafltles, and of US inevery respect. Nine
tenths, nay more, of our best teachers are edu
Gated IN the north. .a s. al#Et Ez#S& lF+s s
4a This is a sad truth, and cannot be too deep1,
regretted. The i'll effects Of the policy is mad
apparent daily in the languid condition Of edu
cationM institutions at the south. The evi
must be remedied, and the easiest and mos
certain method of doing So is EQUALITY teach
ers in our midst, and when they have secured
| their diplomas, employ them to educate ou1
children. By this means in a few years the
south would not, as now, be forced to employ
northern teachers, and our youth could be as
well educated in Louisiana as they would al
Yale or Harvard college. The importance Of
teachers being educated expressly for that pro-
fesson is not questioned by any one. Teach
ing fnot amechancal trade, is at least profess
sion, and it requires just as much of an appren-
uceshlp tomake an expert teacher as it does to
make good carpenter or blacksmith When
may we expect normal school in Louisiana?
