SPLENDID WORK BEING DONE IN TRAINING OF
 TEACHERS AT JACKSONVILLE STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

reporter of The Age-Herald in gathering data for a sketch of Calhoun countys advantages and resources wis ited Jacksonville, where is located the State Normal school for teachers. Jack sonville is endowed with many advan- tages, but none greater than this school, and a sketch of the city is entirely in- complete without a full sketch of this splendid institution which has taken de- serpedly high rank among similar in stitutions throughout the country; in deed, it might well be said the State Normal school at Jacksonville did much to place this one of the oldest and best towns in the state on the map.
 The State Normal school, as is well known, is maintained by the state to prepare teachers for it's public schools. The practice work of teacher training done at this school was a surprise and revelation to the writer. No mere theoretical training is indulged in here. The work is clearly outlined, the ideals are definite and the training is accu- rate and concrete Its product is indeed trained teachers who take high rank in the educational affairs of the state.
 A JUN NflNOlNO FAOl
 Many of the people who may well be accounted leaders in every business and profession in the state received all or a part of their academic and professional training at this school, but a few of these may be mentioned as follows: Con- gressman F. l.. BlacSmon of the Fourth district; Hon. w. B. Bowling, solicitor of the fifth judicial circuit; Judge A. H. Glasgow, probate judge of Cleburne county; the late J. J. Arnold; County Superintendents Jeff Sox of Coosa. Lee Barnes of Marshall, w. T. Bean Of Chiffon, w. T. Harwell of Clay; Assist ant County Superintendents D. l.. Smith of Tuscaloosa and George F. Sparks of Walker; J. M. Burnett, principal Henley High school, Birmingham; l.. E. Brown, superintendent of schools, Andalusia; c. c. Moseley, principal high school Camp Hill; E. S. McGlathery, teacher science Birmingham High school Miss Emily Goodlet, critic teacher State Normal school of Georgia, besides scores of teachers in the different departments of the state high schools and agricultural schools, and last, but not least, hun dreds, nay, even thousands, of teachers in the public schools of the state who have carried the name and fame of their alma mater to every nook and corner of Alabama by the highly successful char acter of the work they do

HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL

When, in 1883, the foundation was laid for the present State Normal school after patient and laborious effort on the part of ardent friends in the cause of education, notably, Hon. J. D. Ham, mond in the house, and L. W. Grant in the senate, the germ was planted which was destined to expand and develop into citadel in the cause of education, and to stand in the front rank of Alabama's s hoasted educational facilities, and in truth, the founders of this institution builded better than they knew, for this school with an appropriation of only s2500 year was necessarily only a good local high school. In 1899, the appropria- tion was raised to $7500; two years later this was increased to $10,000, and four years later to S15,000 and the last in crease was to s2OO00 per annum, which it now receives but which is inadequate to the needs of the growing ideals of the normal school.
 The institution has had some noted men at it's head, among whom are Pres tute, Rochester, N. Y, who held the po- sition here for seven years; the late President J. Harris Chappel of the Girls Industrial School of Georgia, who was president here three years; the late Jacob Forney, one of Alabamas most noted educators, who was president here seven years. The president now is c. w. Daugette, under whose management the institution has touched it's highest alti- frrla

WORK AT MERRELLTON

A notable work has been done at the rural school at Merrellton, enthusiasti- cally carried forward by Mrs. Belle Vow ell, the teacher in charge, and a grad uate of the normal school. Tn the two years during which the normal school has been working with the Merrellton school the people of the community have built new schoolhouse and seated it, the grounds have been cleaned off and worked shade trees have been planted, the house painted and many minor inn provementS made. The enrolment has grown to such an extent that an addi- tional room and teacher will have to be provided. This is a demonstration to the pupils and prospective teachers of the normal school as to what can be ac- complished by any rural school commu- nifty when inspired by a competent and enthusiastic teacher. In all the efforts which have been made in the rural schools of Calhoun county by the nor nal school they have had the heartiest co-opcra tion of the county board of edu- cation and the County Superintendent H. T. Persons.
