A DECIDED MOVEMENT TOWARD THIS END
County Superintendent Christensen Actively

PIan-Cost Of the School Out of

Accomplished.

An earnest plea Will be III lde betor e
the County board on Saturday by
interested educators who are looking
for the betterment of the teaching force
of the county to sanction AMI assist the
institution of training school for
teachers. State Superintendent of
Public Instruction l.. d. Harvey will be
in Manitowuc as will Charles E. Patzer
of the Milwaukee Normal school to
make the arguments before the board.
County Superintendent Fred ChristiIn
sen will also tell some of the needs of
such a school in this county and the
benefits which may be expected to
accrue from it establishment.
1t will be remembered when Mr.
Patzer was superintendent he desired Il
plan for such school but before he was
able to mature his plans he had quit the
Office of superintendent. Mr.. Patzer,
however, has always been heartily in
favor of such an organization and he is
now doing all that is possible to assist
Mr.. Christensen to bring into practical
effect the training school idea
Mr.. Harvey, who is esteemed as a
thorough exponent of the progressive
idea in education, is equally earnest in
his advocacy of the county training
school plan, hence he has consented TO
come to Manitowoc on Saturday to give
IL. l. 6 l.
perience in educational matters, particu-
larly relative to the good accomplished
by the training school. 1t was after
Mr. Patzer had advocated the necessity
of establishing a training school that
Marathon county took up the subject,
and after careful investigation agreed
TO organize one, which now successfully
hourishes, having accomplished since
its foundation much good.
The school which is proposed for this
county can be conducted at a very
reasonable cost, so much so that it will
not be felt. To carry on the work four
rooms are all that are necessary, and d
principal and assistant under the county
superintendent supervision will be
all the teaching staff required. The
course will be one year of four quarters
and the work will be divided up as
nearly as follows.

1t will be seen that all the studies
required by law to be taught in the
common schools are included To
these are added English literature,
phys cal geography, elements of agri-
culture, school management, music,
drawing, methods of teaching and
psychology.
1t is understood that there is very
decided sentiment in favor of such a
school among the teachers of the
county.
All teachers and their friends should
make a special effort to attend'on Satur-
day morning at 10 o'clock. Mr. Harvey
and others will be prepared to answer
any questions directly bearing on the
subject.
