Superintendent Fowler is advocating the
organization of more county teachers In
~stitutes. more summer schools and at least
one more state normal school. He says:
Each fall we have in the schools of this
state over 1900 new, inexperienced teachers.

of a. three years course. or even one year
in our State Normal school, but its benefits
are far superior to those OF the weak

As to summer schools and normal insti-
