ed for its support durinp the last bien-
NAL period $4,000 or $44,5O0 yearly.
The value of the plant at Cedar Falls
does not exceed at the utmost $4,000.
Since the school was founded in 1876,
the state has given them only about
$4,000 for new buildings. We grant
that in spite of all obstacles Cedar
Falls has become a power in the edu
cational progress of the state. Because
it has proved the value of normal in
struction to our schools, we come to
you and earnestly ask you to do JUS
tice to our claims by entering at once
upon the policy of establishing such
schools in other sections of the state.
If this school had proved a failure we
should not have the face to ask for
Others. The Cedar Falls normal school
furnishes us today our strongest argu-
ment for other normals.
We are not preaching any new doc
trine. Horace Mann was, in his day
the most earnest advocate of the doc
trine that teachers should have special
preparation for their work. why"
he once exclaimed in passionate out
burst of feeling, 'sWhy will you employ
blind bats and moles to teach young
eaglets TO fly" In our own state, our
governors, our state superintendent,
from the days of Thomas Fl. Benton,
Jr., to the present have urged this
subject upon the attention OF sue
ceeding legislatures. In 1857 three
normal schools were established but
failed for want of support.
The duty OF equipping teachers for
their work in the public schools be-
| longs primarily to the state for the
unanswerable reason that the highest
| interests OF the state are affected by
the quality of the instruction given in
her schools. 1t is not that the money
paid to an inefficient teacher is lost,
for that can be replaced. The children
have lost time which can never be re.
claimed. The children have been rob
bed of their rightful heritage and they
4 are fortunate indeed if they have moi
formed habits which cripple them fol
/. life. Nor is this all. Every teacher
4 who enters the school room without
i special preparation for the work O
INSTRUCTION, who has no high ideal of
what teacher ought to be, helps tt
i lower the general average of citizen
ship, and thereby renders the state al
i easy prey to the wiles of the place
hunters and the demagog.
II Gentlemen of the Legislature-W'
have placed before you our stronges
arguments and few of the facts
which show how our case is regarded
in other states. Among our leading
1 educational men of the nation as wei
as of the state, there is perfect una
nimity of opinion concerning the. i'm
portance of requiring all teachers, spe
cial preparation for their profession
/ We have confidence in your patriotism
and in your Judgment and hope tina
1 out of the present discussion, som
forward steps will be taken to add t,
our present means of instructing teach
ers for their important work. Yer
