Normal Schools Needed.

The educators Of Tennessee are
advocating the establishment Of
three normal schools, one to be To-
Gated in each of the three grand di-
visions of the State. Il. c. Gordon,
a member Of the general assembly,
has introduced bill in the legisla-
ture providing for the erection of
these schools and for the appropria-
tion by the State Of $4,000 annual
ly for the support of each. There
is a further provision in the bill that
each school shall be located in a
town or city which will give, free of
debt, grounds and buildings worth
not less than $4,000, and which
viii be ready for the opening Of the
school September 1S, 1905. In sup
port of the pending bill Mr.. Cor
don makes seven arguments, in par
agraphs, as follows:
l. The highest duty of the State
is the education of her children.
The teacher does this training
therefore, the teacher should be fit
ted for skilfully performing this
work.
2. Training the teacher means
to train desirable citizenship, for
the true teacher is center Of light
and intelligence in the community
in which he works.
8. Legislation has dignifed the
professions of law and medicine ;
legislation in the interest of the
teacher will dignity the work of the
teacher.
4. All the Southern States which
have established normal schools by
State aid testify to their success.
The schools are crowded almost be-
yond their estimated capacity.
5. Other States testify that ap-
preparations for normal schools is
one Of the best investments for gen.
eral education that a State can
make. The trained teacher makes
the longer term a success. Longer
terms without the trained teachers
are failures.
6. Teachers trained at reputable
normal schools by State aid are il
demand. Indeed the demand is fal
greater than the supply.
Y. Is there a demand for three
normal schools in Tennessee
Nearly two thousand teachers in at.
tendance upon the State Institutes
last summer asked for them. Ev.
cry county teachers institute in al.
most every county, with only few
exceptions (and the exception i;
where the matter was not brought
to their attcntion), has passed reso.
lutions asking for them. Hundred.
Of citizens, school officers and coun,
ty officers have signed petitions ask
ing for them, and the State Teach
ers' Association, the East and Wes
Tennessee Teachers Associations
have all passed strong resolution!
asking for them.
