IF the newspapers Of the state are to
be taken as an exponent of public
opinion in regard to our state normal
schools, we may be sure that the num-
ber Of them will be less before it is
greater than now. The fact that the
normal schools have so largely been
merely high schools for the instruction.
Of local pupils at the public expense
and that there is comparatively so lit
tie of purely normal drill and work in
the present courses is an important
factor. Another is that the high
schools in every important city and
town in Minnesota are giving much of
the same instruction and with normal
courses introduced will be able to cover
the ground satisfactorily. The estab-
lishment of the last two normal schools
in the state was a grievous mistake as
they were not needed. We have meyer
been able to see why pupil going to
any of our normal schools should not
be put exclusively upon the theory and
practice of teaching instead of spend
ing the larger part of his time in
studying an ordinary high school

The address by senator Clapp Friday
evening at the business mems banquet
was an exceedingly clear explanation
Of the subject of reciprocity as it
should be carried out by the republican
party We cannot get something for
nothing in our reciprocal relations with
other nations. The senator holds to
William McKinley's policy that those
products and industries which no longer
need the tariff for protection on ac-
count Of their solid tablishment and
profitable returns should be made the
basis Of reciprocity treaties.
