81 In many of the states there ha
been a change in recent years from
ONE NORMAL to SEVERAL; but II
no state has there been a change from
SEVERAL state normals to ONE. TIL
entire drift the country over has beel
from ONE TO MANY. Is it probabl
that the legislatures and people of S
many states have been deceived an
{ have made mistake? Is it hkel
mat they have made the change with
put investigation and forethought
Perhaps Oregon and its state senat
are right in their position on the nor
NAL school question, and all the re
mainder of the nation is wrong. Per
haps it would be better to state tina
zthe senate may be wrong, since tn
house of representatives and the peo
pie of the state undoubtedly believ
in normal schools.
