The Normal school Court.

y case that attracted & great deal
of attention was tried and decided in
the circuit court here this term. The
suit was for writ compelling the
| facultJ OF the Southeast Missouri
Normal School to recommend a young
lady pupil to the Board of Regents
for graduation. 1t seems this student
had made the grades required for
graduation in the y class at the close
Of the last school year, but the faculty
declined to recommend her for grad
uation.
In the trial it developed that the
grounds upon which the faculty re-
jecsed this pupil was lack of eharac-
ter and general unfitness as teacher
The plaintiffs counsel contsnded that
as the student had been awarded tho
grades required for graduation she
was entitled to Il diploma. The de
fense claimed that although a pupil
may receive the proper grades for
graduation the faculty may properly
refuse to recommend him for gradua-
tion and a diploma to teach.
Without reference to the merits of
the particular case decided in the
court here this week, we are inclined
to believe that although student may
go through the courses of study re-
quired in the Normal curriculum and
receive the grades required for grad
uation, there is a right reserved to
the faculty. or ought TO be at least, to
take into consideration the character
and general fitness of the applicant
for diploma to teach in the public
schools and refuse to recommend for
graduation if they think it best.
There is something more than mere
grades and intellectual ability to in
struct required in school teacher.
The school room is a place where
character is to large degree nodded
in children as we'll as where they are
taught the rudiments of an education.
Judgment in this case before the
court was in favor OF the defendants.
