without further examination. in other

diplomas toe same value that Is now
given a normal school diploma. Since
then the suggestion has been made
that Broaddus college, tho Baptist
institution at Chrksburg. be added
to tho list OF institutions SO favored.
This suggestion sounds reasonable
for Hhe school Is Of recognized Ash
standing.
So far the lntelHgencer has seen
no good argument advanced against
the plan. So long as the institutions
comply with the requirements 'm-
posed upon State normal schools and
include the same courses Of pedagogy

State and agree to submit to proper

entitled to the desired recognition.
