to the public schools, it would be a good
investment to take $50. 900 of the amount
and establish the four normal schools,
giving each $4,000 The results from
these normals would be much greater and
more far-reaching than the few additional
days the $50 900 would add to the public
school term. These schools should be
located in small towns without graded
schools, the towns to furnish the neces-
sary buildings and supplement the nor
NAL funds with their proportion OF the
public school money. Three or four men
and a half dozen women, all of the best
teaching ability, could be employed to
teach the various elementary branches
and train the public school teachers who
would attend the sessions. The children
in the territory covered by the normal
schools would compose a practice school
and would be taught by the teachers
there for instruction and training, under
the supervision of the faculty.
Prof Claxton estimates that such a
system, after it had been gotten in good
working order, would result in about
three hundred trained teachers being
turned out each year, while the standard
of work would be greatly improved Men
ing as a profession, and not as means
of securing few extra dollars now and
then. In addition to this, Prof. Claxton
says. the people would become more thor
oughly aroused on the subject of educa-
ton, and realizing the greatly improved
condition, they would be willing to vote
large sums of money for the public
schools. He thinks it necessary to i'm
prove the standard of the teaching pro-
fession before all the money needed can
be secured, for the people will not will
lingly increase their taxes for a poor
and inefficient service.
In the course of the interview Prof.
ClaXton referred to the fact that the
public schools of Massachusetts, before
the normal system was adopted in that
State, were no better than those in North
Carolina. The State of Wisconsin, which
does not greatly excel North Carolina in
either population or wealth, spends $780,.
900 annually in training her teachers
through a normal system similar to the
one otlined above.

Greensboro, N. c., Dec. 1S.-In an in
teresting interview with Prof. P. F. Clax-
ton, Professor of Pedagogy in the State
Normal and Industrial College, the News
and Observer correspondent learned
something of that gentlemans views on
the public school question in North Caro-
lima. Prof. Claxton has devoted his life
to the cause of education and has spent
years in a study of the science OF teach
ing He, therefore, speaks from both
experience and observation, and what he
says should have considerable weight with
all citizens who are interested in eX-
tending and improving North Cardinals
public school system.
Prof. Claxton says he is confident that
q stronger public school sentiment exists
in North Carolina today than ever be-
fore and he believes that the next Leg
islature will consider this the most i'm
portant subject with which that body will
have to deal. He thinks that the wis
dom and foresight of the body will, in
response to a general demand of the peo-
pie envolve some plan whereby the pub
lie school system will be permanently inn
proved and greatly strengthened.
The Legislature should, Prof. Claxton
things, appropriate all the money possible
for the public schools, and not stopping
there, appoint an educational commission
to make a thorough examination of the
system and, it's needs and report at the
next session of the General Assembly
This commission should be composed"
said Prof. Claxton, "of statesmen, educa-
tors and business men who are thoroughly
in sympathy with the public schools, and
who would devote their best energies to
the task at hand. They would be en-
abled to get at the educational status OF
the State and make an accurate report
to the Legislature, with helpful sugges.
lions and recommendations. The entire
expense of the commission for two years
should not exceed 1000"
Prof Claxton also favors the establish
ment of four purely normal schools
three white and one colored, in which the
public school teachers of the State should
be trained He argues that if the Legis-
lature should appropriate, say $25O.OOe
