trained teachers. A normal school is
a center of educational influence.
This influence radiates in all direc-
tons and varies inversely as the
square of the distance from the cent
er. Since the opening of the first
normal school in the state very little
OF this influence has been felt in this
part of the state.
The area Of the southwestern part
OF the state west of the Missouri river
is $4,000 square miles, a territory
larger than the combined area Of
Massachusetts,, Connecticut, Rhode
Island and Delaware without a nor
NAL school. The taxpayers of this
part of the state are paying 100000
a year for teaching service. 1t is not
the part of wisdom to have this teach
ing service of the best quality pos
sible?
An investigation made a year ago
in the eleven counties in the south
western part of the state revealed
this fact, of 1,131 teachers in these
counties 300 were teaching on per-
mits-26.6 per cent of all the teach
ers teaching on permits. A large
portion of these permit teachers were
unable to secure the most elementary
certificate to teach. The investigation
also revealed the fact that only 1R
per cent of the rural teachers were
graduates of normal schools. The
state of North Dakota can take no
great pride in her schools as long as
! these conditions exist.
Five and four-tenths per cent of
the teachers in attendance in one of
our state normal schools during the
fall term of 1913 came from the
eleven counties in the southwestern
part of the state. For the CORE
spending period in 1914, $ per cent OF
the enrolment was from the same
section. In 1913 two of these counties
were not represented. IN 1914 one
! county was not represented and foul
other counties had but one rcpresen.
tativc each. Thirty-three per cent OF
the state enrolment for 1913 came
from the county in which the schoo
is located. Sixty-four per cent came
from ten counties located near thu
school and sc per cent from the other
forty counties. For the biennia
period 191O-1912 in another norma
school, 88 per cent of the student
teachers came from eight counties 10.
Gated a the school. For the same
period over so PC" cent came from
the county in which the institution
is located. Three Slope counties were
represented with an attendance of one
half on one per cent. 1t can safely
be said that several logical differences
can be made from this data.
The distance from Dickinson tt
Valley City is $50 miles,; to Fargo
300 miles; to Grand Forks, 387 miles
The average distance of the Slope tc
the nearest normal school is 27E
miles. Is it fair to ask the teachers
of this part of the state to travel
that distance to attend a normal
school Alabama has six normal
schools; Oklahoma, S; Massachusetts
10; New York, IL; Pennsylvania, 10;
West Virginia, 6; Ohio, 5; Illinois, 6;
Wisconsin, 8; Missouri, 6; South Da-
kota 4; Minnesota, s. The plan in
all these states is to have their normal
schools so distributed that they will
be easy of access to all the teachers.

WHY THE SLOPE SHOULD
HAVE A NORMAL SCHOOL

Concerning the establishment of a
normal school in the southwestern
part Of the state there is much to be
said. Such an arrangement would
give North Dakota four normal
schools, n in each quarter of the
state. DR.. Emerson E. White, a
recognized authority on education,
said in regard to the normal schools
of a state about half as large as
North Dakota: "One normal school
in each of the four quarters of the
state is an ideal plan for organizing
normal training" eW have only 4.8
per 1000 people in all our state
schools from west Of the river! It's
too far. Give us a school within
reasonable distance and we will raise
that slender percentage to where it
belongs. Our homes as we'll as school
show marked advance. Only 3 per
cent of the youth in our state schools
are from the Slope. Eighty-seven
per cent of the students Of each
normal training. We have only 4.s
This part of the state does not ask
for the establishment of a normal
school as a favor, but as a need. It
is only a matter of justice and fair
play. A few reasons follow why a
normal school should be located in
this part of the state as soon as pos
sible:
A primary purpose Of a normal
school is the training of teachers for
rural schools. The solution of the
rural problem lies in lettering
country school conditions. The best
way of improving country school
conditions is to have professionally
