A State Normal School.

The Importance of good public
schools is almost universally conceded.
One of the indispensable requisites to
good schools is good teachers. Ex-
perience has demonstrated that COM
potent teachers cannot be obtained
unless some special provisions are
made for their education Hence the
necessity of Normal Sclools, which had
their origin one hundred aud thirty
years ago, at S,ettin, Prussia, and
have steadily Increased in number aud
favor until there are now nearly
hundred in France, and half that mum.
Der each in England and Prussia, and
"a proportionate number in nearly all
the educated States of Europe. The
attempt to engraft neutrality-suspicious.
upon existing schools has been pretty
thoroughly made, and generally failed.
or an experiment of this kind made
in New york Horace Mann said, +" il
was one of the most unfortunate move
ments ever made in this country in
regard to education" The Normal
Schools in this country date from
about the year lS35--the advocacy of
their establishment having commenced
ten or fifteen years earlier by Prof.
OImstcad, Gov. Clinton, and others.
There have been, for years, Normal
Schools, in successful operation in
Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylva-
MIA, Ohio and other States Their eff
cheney and their necessity to an intel
ligent system of common schools, may
be regarded as beyond controversy.
We have before Us bill introduced
by Mr.. Rogers. Of Davenport. to es-
tablish State Normal School in Iowa.
1t provides for the appointment, by
the Legislature. OF six competent per-
sons TO, act as a board Of trustees
when started, two TO be elected al
each regular session Of the Legislature.
They are to receive proposals and To-
cate the school in the place where the
citizens offer the greatest inducements
in the way Of buildings and grounds
or money. The, board of trustees to
have the general oversight of the
school. Tuition free. Pupils to be
residents Of the State. of good moral
character, and each applicant making
a written. pledge to teach twice the
time spent in the Normal School. A
diploma from this school permits the
holder to teach in any of the public
schools Of the State without further
examination. The Presidents Of the
State University and Agricultural Col
lege. and the Chief Justice of the Su-
prcme Court, are constituted board OF
visitors. Amount OF appropriations,
salaries, &c, are left blank. There can
be but little, if any, doubt that the
highest interests of the State would
be subserved by the establishment of
Normal School, and it is to be ear
nestly hoped that the General Assem-
bly, will give the, subject the consid-
Grafton its Importance deserves, and
pass well matured measure for the
establishment Of such an institution.
