Cut Out Qualification.

The question of abol1shing the first
three years Of the five-year course
came up at the June meeting of the
board. The work of the first three
years of the course Is a duplication
Of work done by the high schools, and
large percentage Of those making
up the classes are residents of the
city where the normal school Is 10.
Gated. The presence of these local
pupils In the high school courses OF
the normal schools has been also a
source of jealousy and conflict be-
tween the local high schools and the
normals. Now that the survey has
disclosed that the state spent during
The second semester Of this school
year, 81 1856 week, or at the rate
of $46,626 a year, for giving instruc-
lions to pupils doing work of high
school grade, probably the regents
will abolish the first three years of
The flve-year course.
Chance to Save $4,000.
This does not include the cost Of
materials. equipment or overhead
charges. 1t has been estimated that
TO include these charges the cost of
preparatory teaching of high school
grade would run up to at least 100000
and possibly exceed $4,000 year.
Final action by the regents has been
deferred until the formal report of
the Board of Public Affairs has been
made.
AS result of the report on the size
Of classes, showing that during the
second semester, 1873. out of S27
classes, enrolled ten or less students,
the board of normal regents at the
June meeting passed a stringent rule
prohibiting the organization of classes
enrolling less than ten students. ex.
cept as especially authorized by the
committee on courses of study. The
significance of this regulation can bet
ter be understood when 1t is borne
in mind that IN one school whose pro
gram provided for 76 recitations q
day. 40 contained ten or fewer stu.
dents. While it Is impossible to es,
innate the saving in cost Of instruc.
ton which must necessarily follow
this action, there can be NO doubt but
that 1t will greatly reduce the cost OF
instruction In normal schools.
Abolish Latin Classes.
The teaching of Latin has been
abolished In all the normal schools
eYcenting Ia Cr0sce Thfo q offo,, u,as
taken not because Of any grudge
against Latin, but was based upon
the fact that the classes in Latin were
so small. Only one class had enroll
ed ten pupils, while more than half
Of the twenty Latin classes maintain.
ed In the various normal schools had
less than FIVE pupils.

SAVE 100000 ON
NORMAL SCHOOLS
MADE BY BOARD OF PUB
Lie AFFAIRS.
Is APPLYING BUSINESS
METHODS TO STATE
Entire Educational System, on Which
People Spend $18,0O00OO Year, Is
Under Investigation - Improvement
In Many Departments.

Results of the survey of the state
normal schools have been made pub
lie by the State Board Of Public At
fairs. Changes which have been and
will be made, both in the administra-
tive and institutional sides of the in
stitutiOns, as a result of the findings
of the survey will greatly increase the
efficiency of the normals as training
schools for teachers and at the same
time will effect a saving of from $780,
600 to $125,000 in the cost of main
tanning and operating this branch OF
the states educational system.
Eighteen Millions for Schools.
Wisconsin expends upwards of eigh-
teen million dollars year on it's edu-
cational institutions, from the common
schools to the university. The state
last year put $1,OOO,OOO into the nor
NAL schools. The saving of 100000
a year which will come as the result
Of the survey by the Board of Public
Affairs is a saving of 10 per cent. It
a survey of the common schools, high
schools and university should result
in the same percentage of saving, the
aggregate saving would be $1,800,000
or almost two millions.
The survey Of the rural schools was
completed and the report made pub
lie more than a year ago.
The study of the university which
was begun in May, is we'll under way
and will be completed by December l.
Calming More Than Money.
The important thing gained from
the normal school survey, now com.
pleted, will be something greater than
the mere saving Of ten per cent in
the cost. It will be a matter Of In
creased efficiency by reason Of more
clearly defined field. Heretofore the
normal schools have duplicated the
work of the high schools at one end
of the curriculum and some of the
work of the university at the other
end. AS a direct result of informa.
ton brought out by the survey this
duplication, to large extent, is like
ly to be eliminated.
The college courses heretofore
maintained at the Whitewater, Platte
vile and River Falls normals have
been discontinued. This action alone,
it is estimated will save from $4,000
to $4,000 year, as well as enable
these institutions to concentrate time
and effort upon training their students
for the professions of teaching.

FUND To ADORN
CITY HALL CUT
To $3.50
Councils Appropriation of 81, 200
to Decorate for Shriners Re-
jected by Aldermen.

The action OF the city of Atlanta in
practically refusing to spend more
than $3.50 or 5000 to decorate the City
Hall for the Shriners' convention
caused considerable indignation Fri
day.
At its last regular meeting the
Council appropriated 81 POO for per-
manent electrical, as well as tempo
rary flag and bunting decorations.
When the question came before the
Aldermanic Board Thursday after
noon, the resolution was sent back to
the Council because Councilman w.
q. Humphrey chairman of the
Finance Committee. declared the city
could not afford to spend the amount,
and further that the resolution was
illegal because there was not that
amount in the contingent fund from
which the money was to be drawn.
The Councilman said $3.50 would be
about sufficient for the work.
When discussing the matter this
morning City Electrician Turner said
the City Hail would look mighty
cheap if only that amount of money
were expended. He contended it
would cost al least $3.50 for bunting
and flag decorations alone. without

It was learned on good authority
that the business corporations and
merchants of Atlanta would spend IN
the neighborhood of $4,000 for deco

the $3.50 which the city will expend.

dismissal was based on the grounds of
