~rs are, who teach children errors-which 1t is
almost impossible to eradicate In after years
The Normal College of this city is a disgrace if
we look at it in the Light of what it should be
and not of what it has been. We are willing
to concede it great praise for what it has
accomplished, considering its limited advan-
+aees but it is a shame that it has not
had better advantages. The new Normal
College promises wider opportunities. Ger
tainly we need them, for the supply of trained
teachers is wholly inadequate for our wants.
1t was lately reported that some absurd mem
Der of the new Commission was in favor OF
abandoning the new Normal College to other
uses; but this Is hardly credible. The Normal
School, to our mind, is the most important
part of eur school system, and we shall be
disappointed if it does not so prove itself be-
yond doubt in the next few years.
