REDUCED INCOME OF THE PEABODY

superintendent of education In South
Carolina, has received letter from DR..
Curry, agent of the Peabody education
fund, stating 'that the income of the
Peabody education fund will not be thie
year as large ~ 1t has been." and add
ing: "The pecuniary help to be furnish
ed must be 30 used as to duplicate results
and to bear most effectively on the end
contemplated, the establishment of per
manent and we'll. sustained school sys-
TENS, adequate to the needs of the edu-
cable population. Very little
of the fund can be given in aid ofschools.

schools. It is very desirable to stimu-
late q sounder sentiment In favor Of good
schools and local taxation. n
Teacher training is now the prime objec,
of the Peabody trustees, and whatsoever
Of income is available must be largely
applied in that direction. The teacher
training can best be done by normal
schools for both sexes and both races
These schools are likely to be permanent
when under State control and support
Normal schools are an essential part o
an efficient public school system. I
State Legislatures will organize ant
support such schools, the Peabody edu
cation fund will be cheerfulIy used In
aid of them and for their enlargement
Normal schools. while of indispensable
importance and to be steadily labored
for, will not supersede teachers insti
tutes. These necessary agencies. j
authorized and sustained by State ap
propriations and conducted by trained
experts, will hereafter, as heretofore, b.
