NORMAL SCHOOL ANNUAL.
Director Phelps Calls Attention to
Some Faults.

There was some interesting discus
sion, of more or less technical nature.
at the annual meeting Of the state
normal board, held at the capitol yes
terday. Director Phelps. of st. Paul.
suggested to the other members Of the
board that there seemed to be a de.
ncleney IN the expressive powers of
the normal school graduates Many
had not learned how to study; they
mad not the power to grasp ideas prop
erly, to say nothing of expressing them
clearly. Their work was too mechani-
cal, and they were too much given to
merely repeating merely the words Of
the text books. He recommended that
the schools pay special attention to
the remedying of this defect. He
thought regular system of inspec-
ton would be good thing. He said
that, instead Of making reports Of his
impressions direct to the presidents Of
the schools. he called faculty meetings
at the close of each inspection, and
they discuss freely questions regard
Ing the work of the schools. :,
Mr.. Phelps report shows that the
normal schools graduated 345 students,
OF whom 174 were from Winona, 81
from Mankato, S5 from st. Cloud. and
rs from Moorhead
