THE TEACHERS APPEAL.
Ask That Next Legislature Establish
State Normal School.

We have received copy OF the DC
tob4r Mississippi School Journal, pub
lished in Jackson in the interest OF
education. The Journal IS very III
teresting publication, and this nam
Der is especially SO. The feature Is
an appeal for a separate and distinct
state normal school for TEACHERS, ard
on this point some very Interesting
data is given showing the ADVANCE
ment OF other states in the Tn on,
and it is very regretable' that our own
commonwealth is So far behind the
majority of the other states in this
respect AS an instance OF the pro
gress that mas been made by other
states, the former territory of Okla
homa is mentioned as having loul
normal schools for teachers
The Journal represents the total Q:
| two thousand teachers in Mississlr F.
and Their appeal for a separate statt
normal school can hardly be passed
by without some consideration by
our legislators at their session next
| January. A strong appeal is to be
made for this institution when thi,
body convenes and it is to be hopee
that Washington countyss representa-
tives will deal rightly with the ques
ton when it is brought before then
The state should have separat,
state normal school. In the system
of her public schools Mississippi
takes front rank as compared witt
other states, and the graduates 0
many OF her high schools are admit
ted to the large universities withou
examinations, and where exanina
tons are required, her students al
ways make good percentages and ar
admitted i'll to their classes. If thi
line of education can be perfected +
such high degree, and is essentia
: the establishment OF state norma
| 5ehool IS equally so. II this is dons
and we do not doubt for nninut
but that the normal school will b
i establ shed, the beneftg accruinga 1T
untold Our high schools graduate
| will then be bettSr prepared to or
ter the higher ed.icational institution
: because Of the fact that they hay
beer better prepared by their instru,

the morning following the shooting he
heard Wilburt Vosichelle. the reserEa,

Before giving this testimony, Mapp
