RAISING THE SCHOOL STANDARD

The trustees Of the normal school at
San Jose, CAL. met in quarterly session
last week and resolved TO raise the
standard Of that school. There was a
full discussion Of the subject. II was
recommended that as much as possible
OF the academic work Of the school
should be eliminated and the school
brought to as high a standard as possi-
BILE in the direction for which IL is in
tended, the training Of students for the
profession of teachers. In the attain
ment OF that object il was recommended
that the scope and extent of the training
school department be enlarged.
Al the afternoon session OF the Board
President Wheeler, Of the State Univer-
sity was present and he was asked his
opinion as TO the question OF raising the
standard OF admission TO the school.
He said that one Of the great .sur-
prises that he had had in his experience
in coming to California was the great
efficiency OF the high school. The
speaker said that the standard OF the
Normal Schools should be raised 80
that the efforts in them should be di-
rected entirely TO professional training
for primary and grammar school teach
ere, while the pedagogical departments
Of the universities would furnish teach
ers for the high schools.
There Is hint here for those who are
interested in the improvement OF Ore
gon's educational system. Let the nor
NAL schools be confined 10 their proper
sphere Of training teachers for the pro
fession of teaching and let tho high
schools be placed upon such a plane
that their teachers must come from the
universities.
IL must come 10 this or some such sys-
tenn before Oregon can consider herself
in line with the progressive states In ed
ucational matters.
The idea OF city Of this size, the cnpi-
tai Of the state running her schools on tho
basiso Of some little back-woods country
district would be scoffcd at by educa-
tors Of other states.
II was only by a struggle that the ninth
grade was retained last year, but the
discussion then engendered and the
thought devoted to the subject since
has made the people more alive 10 the
wisdom OF having good schools here, not
only for the sake OF their own children,
but TO attract and not repel the better
class OF immigration.
People coming 10 Salem from other
statos in whose schools their children
have not nearly finished the course,
find that the Salem schools can do
nothing more for them. One of the
first questions asked by most people
with family OF children to educate,
when they have In view change OF
location is, "Ilow are the schoolsP"
0ood schools attract an intelligent
class Of people poor schools repel them
LET us, by all means improve the
schools of this city. Let us make sa-
lera's schools such that they will attract
people 10 our city instead OF repelling
them. Let ua make them 30 good that
they will be source OF revenue to the
district instead OF drawback. Our
schools are good as far as they 20, but
they should go higher, and be made |
strictly hrst-class In every department.
