RURAL TEACHERS
NEED TRAINING
suPT. OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION
WRIGHT I'M ANNUAL REPORT
ADVOCATES NORMAL
TRAINING.

In the seventy third annual report
of the state superintendent of public
instruction, Supt. l.. l.. Wright. in
speaking OF proposed legislation. saws
Michigan should pass a law whereby
NO person shall be allowed TO begin
teaching i'm the rural schools unless
he or she shall have had at least six
weeks of normal training.
The report also says IT is the opin-
ion Of the department that the legis-
lature shall consider some form of
text -book legislation. There are many
people who move from place to place.
from district to district and from
township to township, and in many
cases these people are required to pur-
chase new books every time The de-
partment is OF the opinion every coun-
~ should have a uniform list of books
and these books should be purchased
at a reasonable price.
In many cases throughout the state
there appears TO l.e dissatisfaction
with the school treasurer, and the de-
partment is of the opinion that this Is
Drought about because there is often
a large amount of money I'm his hands.
and this is sometimes used in his own
business or loaned out, both of which
are illegal procedures.
In dealing with the primary scnool
morey and the apportionment, Super
intendent Wright has the following to
say; "A most vital question that is in
terestlng more people today than any
other is the piling up of the primary
school fund i'm places where it cannot
be used. This subject should receive
careful attention from the legislature.
Il believe that so long as any dis
trict has enough primary money on
hand to pay its teachers and tuition
for two years i'm advance 1t should not
share i'm the apportionment / hope
that the legislature will take some
action i'm this matter. While this would
help materially those districts receiv-
ing at present but a small apporton-
ment 1t cannot work an injustice to
any district, I'm that a district having
a surplus of primary money on hand
has no use for more than IL can use.
We have not too much primary mon
ey. This last year the apportionment
has been approximately six million
dollars and the amount paid teachers
was little more than nine million
dollars. The problem is to make an
cquitnt)le distribution"
Another subject which to report
deals with in relation to proposed leg
islation is the tuition law. The report
says: THE passage of the tuition law
by the last Legislature has brought
out many intricate questions, the most
important OF which is who is entitled
To have his tuition paid. The law
states that such tuition shall .be paid
for children who have completed the
studies of the eight grades. IT is the
opinion of this department that the |
legislature should determine who is an
eighth grade graduate" Superinten-
dent Wright says: II believe that any
one who has finished the eighth grade |
in graded district or who has COM
pleted the eighth grade i'm a rural dis

the greater portion of the two hundred
have been disposed of. A full report
