South Louisiana Summer Normal
Wilbur Kramer, superintendent
of the public schools of St. Mary
parish, was in Lafayette Thursday
for the purpose of enlisting the CO.
operation of the School Board in
the movement to organize what is
to be known as the South Louisiana
Summer Normal. The Gazette is
pleased to note in the proceedings
of the Board printed in this paper
that Mr.. Kramer has been joined
by the school authorities of this
parish in his very practical plan to
promote the cause of public educa
ton in this section Of the State.
These summer normals, which it is
proposed to hold in the parishes
forming part of the association. can
not fail to be productive Of the very
best results. The primary object
of the normals. which will be held
every year alternately in the various
parishes, Is to familiarize teachers
with the best methods of
school work. At comparatively
small expense to each parish the
services of the foremost educators
of the State will be secured to at
tend the normals, thereby placing
the teachers in touch with the best
thought and the most progressive
methods. The Gazette is pleased
to see Mr. Kramer taking so earn
est and active an interest in the
educational advancement of this
section. One of the greatest needs
of the time is the intelligent and
energetic exertion of young men to
awaken the people to the necessity
Of more and better schools.
