NORMAL SCHOOL STANDARDS.
BY PROFESSOR WILLIAM M. STEWART.

erS in high schools and colleges need pro-
fessional training as well as those in the
common schools The university has
established in connection with the normal
school a department for the training Of
kindergarten teachers, which offers a
four-year course similar to that of the
normal school.
The training, or pratice school, is a
well organized common school embracing
all of the usual grades. In addition to
the regular course Of study given in our
public schools, there IS given systematic
work in manual training and observation
or nature study with a wel-equipped

that of the intellect. The training school
is a school for practice, observation, and
experiment.
AS the beneficial results of our schools
depend so much upon the education and
professional skill OF the teacher, no
doubt the public, and especially the par
ents, are deeply interested in what will
elevate the professional standard of the
teacher. Probably not more than one
third of the teachers in the public schools
of our state are well educated and pro-
feSSionally trained. This is due mainly
to TWO reasons; first, the lack of en-
enlargement in remuneration which edu-
Gated and professional teachers receive.
| have known bright competent teachers
to abandon the profession and become
rich, bat / never knew one to remain in
the profession and become affluent. Sec
ond, the indiscriminate employment of
teachers by school boards. 1t is often
that educated and sllillful teachers who
have spent years in preparation, re-
ceive no more for their services than
those vino simply follow it as a vocation.
l do not advocate higher salaries for the
teachers now employed for l believe
taking them all in all. they are probably

Especial Correspondence

Washington, D. c., Dec. 15.-When
Congressman B. H. Roberts comes on
to Washington to take up his duties as
a member of the house. he will have an
opportunity to attend genuine caucuses
of the Democratic party membership,
strange as it may seem to Democrats
who have always regarded 1t as TACT
that for many years Democratic mouse
caucuses have been considered advis-
orv only. and as in no way binding
upon participants. AS rule, the only
caucus in an entire congress which has
been obeyed by the Democratic mem
bership was the one to choose candl-
dates for officers of the house. Here
the members of the party drew the
strict line of party demarcation, but to
all other caucuses they came only When
it suited them, and after the caucus
took action they felt entirely at lib
erty to do exactly as they pleased
about supporting the resolutions
adopted in the caucus.
With the Republicans it has been de-
cidedly different. They have adhered
with great consistency and earnestness
TO the results of caucus action, and this
course has borne fruit in rendering Re-
publican congresses more effective in
passing legislation demanded by the
party than their Democratic opponents
! Observance OF caucus acIlOn eHdplSs
the party to vote compactly and get
better results than the Democrats car
possibly obtain by regarding caucuses
! as merely advisory.
Now. however, there has been
change in the Democratic practice, an6
henceforth Democratic caucuses are
certain to be productive of results. At
| ter the matter had been pending fol-
| several months the house Democratic
caucus has decided that hereafter The
resolutions adopted by Democratic eau
cuses shall be binding on all those par
! ticipating in them.
This decision secures more uniformity
| of action among Democrats than ha!
/ been noticeable in recent years, ant
will have a tendency to more clearly
define Democratic issues for 1900. Th'
caucus resolutions make only one eX
ception to the demand for implicit ODE
! dience to caucus decisions. This is tina
no member shall be held as obligated
to vote for any measure which he be
lieves to be in contravention of the con
! stitution.

Keen competition in all professions and
vocations forces specialization and close
division of labor. 1t is not long SINCE
school teaching became a profession The
normal school, in fact, is a recent insti-
tuition, yet it has made marvellous strides,
There are in the United States today
PROBABLY more than ~ normal schools
with over 100000 students. Now the pro-
feSsional training OF teachers is regarded
as essential as that of doctors ana law
yers. The educational and professional
standard of the average normal school
IN the United States demands a high
school education and one years pro-
fessional training. Such being the stand
ard in our own state normal school.
Recently leading educators have given
much attention 10 the scientific study of
children and methods for their education
which has led TO the establishment of
chairs of education in our colleges and
universities. This movement has had
great influence in raising the standard of
the professional training of the teacher;
so that today we have schools for the
training of teachers with as high a
standard as those of the most learned
profession, notably the Teachers college
of Columbia university. l look to see in
the near future the standard of the
normal school as high as that of the
college or university, fOr certainly the
art and science of education is as COM
prehenSiVe and difficult as that of any
other science and art. The present inter-
est in the scientific study of children is
the beginning OF a movement which will
not only result in the professional train
ing of ali who pretend to teach children.
but it will extend into all courses of
study, which are intended to fit young
men and women for the practical duties
of life.
Something of our own state normal

would doubtless interest the readers of

General Manager Dickinson Says
Denver Reports Are Premature

and Arrangements Are Undeter-
mined-Orders For Locomotives.

The Omaha Bee takes issue with the
Denver papers relative to the rear
rangement of the operating de-
pertinent of the Union Pacific,
and quotes General Manager Dickinson
as saying that the Julesburg division
may not be attached to the Colorado di-
vision when the branch is finally in
control of the big system. The matter
has not yet been decided. Mr.. Dickin-
son is quoted as saying: 1T is very ma
tural that we should be considering to
what division we will attach the Jules
burg branch when we get it, whether it
will be made a part of the Nebraska di-
vision, the Colorado division or the
Kansas division, or whether we shall
rearrange the present divisions. The
matter has not been decided. When the
Union Pacific will take in the Julesburg
branch 1 do not know. We control it
now. 1t was thought that we would
get hold of It on Get 1, but that time
passed by without our actually acquir-
ing it Settling up receiverships is a
big undertaking and takes long time;
for example, the Union Pacific receiver

charges against them be proven true.
Better for them that their bones teruiize
the fever-bIstered mud of Manila than
TO return home with the brand of coward
ice on their broWs.
The charges of cowardice grow out of
the maneuvering of the troops Whlch
resulted in the first real engagement after
the Idaho boys landed. 1t is charged that
when orders were sent to the Idaho regi-
ment to move Colonel Jones and Major
Higgins could not be found. Other
boys, who otherwise would have had the
position of honor; and the lads from this
state stood in the mud and watched
others go in for glory they might have
gained. Mortified, Inundated, angry, as
one Of the accusers states, they refused
even for q time to salute Major f1gglnS,
who was among them great deal, While
Colonel Jones remained out of sight for
some time after.
This is a severe arraignment and none
but the thoughtlesS will believe one word
of 1t until the charges have been proven:
Meantime, the people OF Idaho Will mold
their peace, but they will speak IN no
uncertain voice whatever the result OF
the investigation.
Another charge against these officers is
that the men have not secured proper
supplies, and that money sent from this
state Tor the purpose of buying neceS-
saries for the sick has been devoted to
other uses, such as the construction of
shower baths. etc, for the well. These
things will also have to be looked into;
but it is safe TO foreten that investiga-
ton along those lines will develop an
other crop of those soldiers, few but
pestiferous, who imagined when they
went TO war Uncle Sam would give them
target practice on downy couches and
serve pate de foie gras and frappe be
tween shots.
Boise is going TO make another effort
for a railroad to connect the northern
and southern portions of the state. At
present the traveller is forced to go
around through Washington and Oregon
to reach the capital from the north, in
volving a journey that consumes as
much time as a trip from here to Omaha.
The Northern Pacific and the Oregon
Railway 4 Navigation are both building
south from Lewiston to tap the Seven
Devils, and the assurance is given that
one or both these lines win form juno
ton with the Short Line. Boise people
want the southern terminal at the capital,
and learn that a secret meeting of bust
ness men has been held for the purpose
of taking steps to start a stub line north
ward as an Involvement for the new lines
to come into Boise. 1t is also believed
such a step viii prove influential in Sc
curing the main line Of the Short Line
for Boise. 1t is reasoned that the Short
Line will lose no time in putting Boise
on the main line when it is certain one
or both of these new lines are heading
for this place. REX OSBORNE.
