In another column we reproduce an article from the pen of Eld. W.
 II. PaSlay. We do so because It contains much that should be pray erfully considered by the patriotic public. Inadvertently, perhaps, it IS a splendid argument against the Normal School at the expense of tho taxpayers. Speaking of teach ing, MT. Paslay most truly says: "Comparativcly few are qualified for this important position, partly from a want of proper framing and want of fondness for the work, and partly because they do not select teaching for permanent business. Too many are teaching as n makeshift, until something better or moro congenial to their taste presents itself" And along this line the Pine Bluff Commercial says: "hut to contcnd that the "Normal Schools" are the "most effective agencies" for quali- flying teachers is another matter altogether. The truth is the pro- cess of making teachers for our free schools, IS like the workings of kodak-instantanoous- IS as meagre in results. Under tho present system there is no premium upon personal excellence or prof. ciency, and the calling of school teaching is thereby permitted 10 jog along without any pcrceptible improvement. The man desiring to teach makes .a nasty revIew of

the common school branches before the examination, procures a license, goes through the Normal or rather the defective. e.agencies,". and comes out a full-fedged teacher without dollar of cost to himself and at the end of the school term returns to the blow or work shop, or his regular ayocation, relying that the same opportunities will be open next year in time for his profes. sional equipment; provided, he does not seek more rennlaenative employment. A profession n that is free and open 10 all and requires little or no personal effort, may in. duce some really ambitious and de- serving men to pursue it tsmpora- rlly as stepping stone; but those who enter it possessed of real merit with a view of making it a real lifetime work are few in com parison, and as a result the pro- fessiou is continually filled with raw recuits."
 Thon Mr. Paslay says he does not see why we have so few profes- slonal teachers. Tbs is at least partly due to the free Normal, which, as stated above, is continu- ally turning out lot of -'raw re- cruits," and "Cheap Johns," who, with little or no ability, assume the responsibility of te aching, simply to pass away tho time and gain little spending money. Mr. Pasiay suggests that "if those per- sons who arc desirous of making teaching permG nent employment would form 3 separate association. they might ultimately, rule out these transientS and secure the more desirable schools, and re-

Why not have Normal Schools" to teach all candidates for national, state, county and township offices their duties? Or, If having been elected, why not have Normal Sch ools" 10 teach them tic duties of their respective offices? And while doing so why not pay them while they are being instructed! If the state has to pay to educate men and women how 10 teach by means of "Normal Schools why not do the same thing for candi- dates and those who succeed to of flee? Indeed. if we are to go into paternalism, why not include also lawyers, physicians and surgeons, electricians, civil engineers, base ball, athletic and all professions. Educating children and persons between the ages of SIX and twen- ty-one years Is a state law and de- cidedly just and in accord with the organic law; but not so with the Comedy ot Errors, yclept "The Summer Normals," where fun and frolic are the order of the day and at the expense of the taxpayers, Tcacfers should make themselves qualified to teach at their own ex-

Prof S. NJ. Blalock, who is teaching the Colt school, was cir culating among friends in town Saturday. He has some ideas of his own on this free normal ques tion, which might interest some of the "boys and:girls" who take the ground that the normals arc greatly beneficial and ought 10 be sus- tained by the state. The Times would be glad to publish some thing from Sam on this subject. Jn fact our columns are open to all who wish to discuss the question, no matter whether they are tor or against free normals. The aues. tion Is one of interest, and is being discussed by newspapers and teachers throughout the state, and the next legislature will be asked to repeal the law, or at least cut off the appropriation.
