The Post-Dlspatch and The Normal
Schools.

The Post Dispatch's advocacy of the
State Normal hardly does credit to
either its logic or Democracy. We
have been under the impression that
the profession of teaching, like other
professions, was regulated by the law
OF supply and demand. That the State
should only take care that its employees
are competent without inquiring or
caring how they had prepared them
selves. We have never yet seen an
argument in favor of taking the teach
er out of the rank of other professional
men and making his preparation to
earn a living and get on in life its pc
culiar care. that did not apply with
equal force to all professions and to
every trade. To argue that the gener-
al public, though competent enough
to manage its affairs in other particu-
lars, cannot be trusted in this one in
stance is foolishness. Carried to its
logical conclusion, 1t would result in
the doing away with the local director.
and the management of our schools by
local authority. II 1t is the business

The Representative from this county
cannot please his constituents better
than by supporting the Aydelott bill
providing for the withdrawal of State
aid from the Normal Schools. At least,
all the schools of the State should be
placed upon an equality. Let impair
tial examinations be held each year,
and the man or woman who is compe-
tent be licensed to teach, regardless of
the school he or she may have gradu-
ated from.

IT is said that the railroad employees
are generally signing petitions asking
the legislature not to pass any laws
looking to a reduction in freight or
passenger rates. This action on the
part of the employees, it is said, Is
prompted by fear on their part that
If tariffs are reduced wages will be
scaled down accordingly. In view of
the fact that there is never a session
of the legislature that the employees
are not asking some legislation for
their especial benefit their present ac-
ton, in protesting against a reduction
of rates, will be viewed by most peo-
pie as decidedly selfish If not inconsis-
tent. It places the employe in the at
titude of wanting laws made for his
sole benefit without regard to the inter-
est of the public generally.
