Carefully compiled statistics sho"
that during the three years cndlng
June 30. 1891. over 600 undergradu-
ates went out from the Normal
schools with more or less professional
training to teach in the public schools.
Nearly every one Of them taught in
he country schools. They were not
the equal Of the graduates in teach
ing ability, but they were much better
teachers than they would have been
but for this training.
"Since the first Normal school was
organized in Wisconsin it is estimated
that not less than $1,000 Of these
undergraduate have found places as
teachers in the rural schools. 1t /
safe to say these teachers have had at
least as good training as can be given
in The proposed county Normal
schools.
1T is sometimes claimed that q
large proportion Of the students who
completed a Normal school course dc
not teach. aud that the state is edu
eating them without receiving any
return for the outlay. Detailed
statistics from all the schools secured
in 1894. showed that up to That time
| 90 per cent. Of all graduates from the
schools had discharged their obliga-
tiuns to the state by teaching after
graduation. OF the total number
graduated up to that time, % per
| cent. were still teaching. or the
graduates for the ten years ending II
| 1894. - per cent. were still teaching
| and Of those graduated in the five
! wears ending in 1891 81 per cent were
.till teaching The average amount
Of teaching done by both living and
| dead married and unmarried wa
! nearly five years since graduation. Ii
| IS fair to presume that these figure
viii hold good for the period since
1894.
The Normal schools can furnish a
larger number of teachers for the
| rural schools by giving their students
50 little or such poor training ina
the cities will not employ them ant
they Will be forced to go to the rura
schools for employment. Is 1t de

"The last biennial report Of the
state superintendent showed that
during the last year, for which that
report was made, there were employed
in counties. exclusive of cities under
city uperintendents, over 10000
teachers and in the cities under city
superintendent, over 2,G0O teachers,
a total of more than $4,000 teachers
employed each year in the public
schools Of the state.
statistics show that the average
term Of service Of all teachers engaged
in public school work is less than
three years. This means that in
Wisconsin there is required each year
to take the places of the retiring
teachers, over 1900 new teachers. u
say nothing Of the annual increase in
the number Of teachers due to the
opening of new schools.
is it desirable that these 1000
teachers should have any professional
training2 If so, how much, and
where shall they get it? The univer-
sity furnishes each year d limited
number who have taken the univer-
Sity course Of pedagogy. If all such
graduates from the university become
teachers. the number would not
equal the annual increase in the mum

President L. D. Harvey OF the Mil
Waukee Normal School Cites
Statistics.

President L. ID. Harvey OF the Mill
Wdukee Normal school has recently
made statistical study Of the
condition and needs Of the state
normal schools, and has come to the
conclusion that an injustice would be
done the young men and women of
the state were the River Falls
Normal, recently burned, not rebuilt.
President Harvey has given careful
consideration to the subject Of county
training schools, also, and the figures
he presents in Il statement given out
by him yesterday tends to show that
the existing normal schools are not
enough even TO supply the demand
for teachers in the cities, While the
rural schools are being neglected AS
remedy for the latter evil he
suggests consolidation, 10y which a
greater amount of taxable property
shall be embraced in each rural
district.
Since the burning Of the normal
school building at River Falls, said
President Harvey, "the question has
been raised as TO whether the six re-
naming schools are not sufficient to
supply the demand for trained
teachers which exists in Wisconsin. 1t
has also been frequently stated in the
press and elsewhere that the normal
schools do nothing in the way Of
furnishing teachers for the rural
schools
