NORMAL SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT
State Board Of Education Reports
Considerable Progress


Montpelier, oct. 1.-THE legisla-
mre of 1908 created the state board
Of education, its members being Gov.
G.. H. Prouty, W D. Howard Of Mont
pelier, Mason S. stone of Montpelier,
o. ID. Mathewson of Barre and II. J.
Stannard Of Barton. This commits
sion was to consider the status and
equipment of the normal schools of
the state and report TO the present
General Assembly. This report has
just appeared
At Johnson, the commission re-
ports, the basement of the normal
building has been equipped for man
ual training and at Randolph a sim
lar department was provided. AT
Castleton the building has been en-
larged and improved in various ways.
The time required for graduation
has been doubled, it now requiring
from two to four years for entrants
from e ementary schools and from
one to two years for graduates from
approved secondary schools. Aside
from manual training domestic sci
ence, sewing and elementary agricul-
ture have been added to the curricu-
lum.
Another innovation has been intro
duced in the publication of the Nor
NAL School Bulletin, issued four times
each year It IS publication devot-
ed to the normal school interests of
the state and is sent free to gradu-
ates Of the schools and teachers
whose addresses were obtainable.
One of the greatest problems to be
dealt with is how to Increase the
efficiency Of training schools. 1t has
been thought best TO employ to this
end better teachers and fewer Of
them At Castleton Corners, a mile
and half from the normal school a
model ungraded school has been es-
tablished and here will be worked out
the problem that confronts the ma
iority of teachers those in charge of
common district schools At Johnson
a similar policy will be adopted
The commission finds that the sal
aries of teachers are slowly lncreas-
ing and bound to further increase as
the people come to a realization Of
the fact that such expenditure can
be made in their own interests. They
also find that. although the term OF
study in the normal schools was
heightened no marked decrease in
the number of students was noted
and an appreciate increase is expect
ed in the next few years. The report
cites one instance where a young
woman MIXED ten COWS night and
morning on her fathers farm that
she might receive the wages Of q
hired man and thereby be enabled tC
attend the normal school
The commission makes the follow
ing recommendations That certif
Gates for ten years be granted tC
graduates from a normal school with
elementary school preparation.

that little later on would be neces-
sary to dispose of the daily routine
Of business and that night sessions
would be necessary long before they
are usually held. The clerks and
secretaries do not look with favor on
the PLAN for it would plainly mean
for them, perhaps not extra work, but
work that would have to be perform
ed late at night So, while such a
rule will undoubtedly be recommend
ed to the House, there is going to he
some trouble about its adoption at
least, by both bodies.-Barre Times.

that the Green Mountain states 300

the worst foe the Sunday school had.
