State Normal School.

Among the most prominent cduca-
tiOnal institutions in Kansas is the State
Normal School, for the education of
teachers. Its location is here at Lmpo-
ria, one-haIf mile north of the center OF
town. The building is a substantial
structure of stone, erected during the
year 1866 at a cost, with its furnishing,
of $4,000. Quite number of the Nor
NAL students are now teaching i'll thG
public schools of different parts of the
State. In Lyon county alone II schools
were taught by Normal teachers last
season. The influence of the school is
wide spread, and already it has done
much toward elevating the standard of
qualifications of teachers. 1t is coming
to be the understanding that good teach
ers must be employed, whatever the ex-
pense that is incurred thereby may be.
The result is good common schools.
The Normal School has an endOW-
ment of $1,000 acres of valuable lands.
These are now in the market for sale.
When sold and the proceeds duly inves-
ted. the school will have good financial
basis upon which to rest. -Four teach =
crs are now employed i'll giving instruc-
ton to the students of the Normal and
Model departments. The embellish-
mcnt of the grounds is to begin this
year with the planting of trees.
Connected with the Normal, and form
ing an integral part of it, is the Model
School which was established, as stated
in the circular of the institution, ''to
give the normal students an opportuni-
| ty to witness the actual working of a
school conducted in accordance with the
principles which enlightened experience
has shown to be the best for the educa-
ton of boys and girls, and also to give
them practical experience in actual
teaching under the supervision of the
instructors in the Normal School"
AT present the Model School consists
of but one department corresponding
to the intermediate" in graded schools
1t is the design 20 so enlarge the school
as to include ali grades from the low
est primary to the high school. In this
way it will become the appropriate adj
junct of the Normal College giving to
teachers practice in all kinds of teach
ing with all classes of pupils. and furn-
/ isilnG TO the State model preparatory
school in which boys and girls of all
school ages may be educated. and Young
men and women prepared to enter
| college.
