With irritating assurance, the Port
land papers continue to refer to the nor
NAL schools as ''local high schools" and
''grafts upon the state" 1t is unlikely
that the assertive editors ever set foot
inside one of these institutions, yet their
powerful influence is devoted to tearing
down the earnest work Of others. Per-
haps the normal schools are not quite up
to the standard of those in other states;
they can scarcely be when every two
years they must tremblingly beg for their
very existence, like dog for bone.
Yet the Leader knows that the State
Normal School at Weston fulflls its
function as such to the best advantage
possible with the limited means at its
command. And whoever asserts that it
is merely local high school graft upon
the state, lies in the croaking throat Of
him!-Weston Leader.
