BENNETT PLANNING
TRAINING SCHOOL
Outlines Plans For Converting The
State Normal School at Fair
mont Into Training School

President C. J. C. Bennett OF the
Fairmont State Normal school was
in the city Wednesday, and visited
the city schools. He was enroute
home from an educational meeting
at Buckhannon. While here Mr..
Bennett talked to the school ar-
thorities and number of business
men in the interest of the Normal
Prof. Bennett advances a splendid
idea relative to normal school work.
He expresses an intention of bring
ing the school at Falrmont up to
the standing of high training in
stttution and points to the fact that
the several cities and towns in this
section of the State, such as Clarlks-
burg, Grafton, Morgantown, Buck
hannon, Weston, Fairmont and Phil
ippi, have an excellent opportunity
to have a first class training school.
Along this line he suggests that
the legislature enact a law granting
teachers certificates to high school
graduates, who take a two years.
course in such training school as is
contemplated by him, these certif-
Gates to be issued without the usual
examination by county examiners.
With such a law he would also sug-
gest that high school faculties in
duce graduates to avail themselves
of the two years course in the nor
NAL or training school, so as to get
these certificates, and. after that of
fer them places in the city schools
as teachers.
BY this plan of cooperation this
section of the state can have the
best educational system and advan-
tages as to teachers without inter
ferihg with any of the other normal
schools or the denominational
schools or the university.
