In has been matter of surprise TO us
that the State Normal Schools which were
established Tor the professional training OF
teachers, and which afford such excellent
opportunities 10 this class, should be SO
little appreciated. They are located al ia
vOrable points 10 accommodate the whole
State, and tuition is free 10 those propo-
sing b teach in the schools OF our State
\ part of the text books used are also
supplied to the pupils free.
The Normal schools OF Massachusetts,
have been long considered Indispensable
parts of the educational system of that
favored State. and the standard of COM
mon school teachers has been raised in
calculahly 10y them. Maine has literally
adopted the policy of the parent State
and shall a. sons and daughters be slow
10 take advantage of such benefits. Our
common school system needs nothing so
much rs trained teachers who intend To
make the avocation 4 permanent profes-
sion or calling.
