For Ocala Pat Anderson was in

score of 2 to 1.
For Citra young Jolly, who defeated
Ocala some weeks ago, was on the
mound, and pitched a good game of
ball, but Ocala was on to him this
time, and while there were not MANY
hits, the Ocala boys hit the ball often

more runs scored on him.

Davis and Dodge was perfect, and
Brown at first put up a good game.
Chazal, playing center, while going

THE BIRTH OF THE NORMAL
SCHOOL

Seventy-ive years ago today the first
state normal school in the United
States was opened in Lexington,
Mass. The parlor of a boarding house
was the cradle of this educational
system. In those days it was thought
that a school to teach teachers how
to teach was a needless expenditure
of the time and money. Unable to Sc
cure state aid, the pioneers accepted
money offered by Edmund Dwight,
who later became conspicuously iden-
titled with the new educational move
ment, the first class, consisting of
five girls, had the Rev. Cyrus Pierce
of Nantucket as its teacher. At the
end of the first year the school, known
as the Lexington Academy, had twen-
ty-five students-all girls. 1t had
demonstrated its worth SO thoroughly
that the legislature voted by a large
majority to appropriate sufficient
funds to establish it as a permanent
adjunct to the educational system.
Today the normal school is an in
despensable part of the public school
system throughout the United States.
1t exerts a commanding influence over
the $4,000 school teachers who are
instructing 10000 900 school children
The oldtime pedagogue, who was con-
sidered efficient if he or she had mas
tered the three RS, is giving way to
the highly trained normal school grad
uate who has spent two or more years
in dilligent study to prepare for the
profession. There are now more than
100 public and private normal schools
in the United States. The number of
prospective teachers enrolled as stu
dents aggregates nearly 100,0 900 of
which three-fourths are women. The
graduates from the higher teachers
institutions are masters of c~urriculums
equal to those of the most advanced
universities-several of these institu-
lions grant pedagogical degrees. The
normal school exists today in practi-
cally every civilized country.

A PRIZE

Chicago lost a championship today.
With the laurel wreath almost with
In grasp, this city was denied the
honor of having among its citizens
the champion postal ignoramus of the
United States.
The decision was made by Assist

veteran government official, whose
experience with letter addressing
ignoramuses-or ignorami-reaches
back through decades. Mr.. Hubbard
vigorously ~controverted a statement
by Daniel Vaughan, publication clerk
of the United States department of
commerce in Washington, D. c., who
declared that the gold medal ignora-
mus resided in this city.
According to Mr.. Vaughan, a Chica-
go mar received from the department
several days ago a copy of the publ
cation of 1,400 pages, entitled, 1.-The
Commerce of Navigation of the Unit
ed States" On the left hand corner of
the envelope was the usual legend,

received a lettel from a Chicogoan,
who said he had been sitting up
nights in order to read the publica-
ton, but had been unable to do so
within five days." He asked permits
sion to keep the book three days
longer.
IF the ignoramus championship is
to be awarded on such a faux pas,
then the championship rightfully be-
