ISSUE IS
SUPPORTED
GENERALLY
Concrete Facts on Which
Southwest Asks State to
Establish New School

Every indication points to the es-
tablishment Of the fourth state nor
NAL school in the election next Tues
day. when a constitutional amend
ment providing for the location OF
such school at Dickinson, will be voted
on.
This amendment already has passed
two sessions of the state legislature
and needs only the formal ratification
Of the people next Tuesday to become
law.
To vote for the normal school, the
voter must put a square behind the
word, yes" on the constitutional
amendment ballot.
Dickinson people, 1t Is believed, have
successfully convinced the people of
the state that the new normal school
Is absolutely necessary. Through a
campaign of publicity, directed by that
master Of the art, George N. Kennis-
ton, Dickinson has laid before the state
voters concrete facts for the establish
ment OF the school-and judging from
the current comment. there will be
practically no opposition to the pro-
posal to place the new school in the
southwest region.
When the Dickinson school is es-
tablished, North Dakota will be pro-
vided with an evenly balanced set Of
normal SchOClS-On6 Tor eaCn corner
OF the state.
It is a significant fact that each of
the present normal school officials are
in favor of the establishment Of the
fourth school. They all recognize the
need for the location of a school west
Of the Missouri river, where over 100,
600 people, sixth OF the states
population, reside. They pay fully a
tenth Of the states total taxation in
come-and receive practically none Of
the state educational advantages in
return.
Recruit Many Teachers.
Setting forth reasons for the estab-
lishment of the new school, the Dick
inson publicity committee says:
We now have over 500 teachers in
the elementary schools of North Dako
ia. One-hfth of that number are new
to the profession every year. Twelve
hundred inexperienced recruits thus
begin their work in the school room
each September. Few Of them have
had adequate special preparation for
their all-important work. Many of
them know very little OF child

teaching the branches required in the
different grades. Some Of them be-
come very good teachers in time; but
their experience is gained, too often.
at the expense Of the pupils upon
! whom they are permitted to practice.
If the waste in time and effort that
results from placing these ill-prepared
and inexperienced teachers in charge
Of the schools Of North Dakota, could
be estimated in dollars and cents, the
result would be simply appalling.
Efficiency The Rural Slogan.
The school boards may provide the
finest and best Of material equipment
They may erect school buildings SO
grand and imposing as to appeal to
the pride OF every citizen. They may
decorate those buildings with mosaic
floors and graceful columns, with
marble stairways and frescoed cell
ings, with celebrated paintings and
legended walls. They may furnish the
rooms with upholstered chairs and
mahogany desks, and cover the floors
with oriental rugs of rare value. They
may purchase appliances and appa-
ratus Of every kind. But, put poor.
week, unframed, inexperienced teachers
in charge. and the schools will be de-
plorab1e failures.

Let North Dakota economize in every

pare themselves for their high duty.
The state should give every child the
best education it is willing to take
and the best trained teacher it can
furnish For, in the last analysis. the
teacher is the one. great, tremendous,

every grade.
Efficiency is the Slogan of This
Century.
And for all time to come. Where is
it of greater value than in the public

ed teachers are as necessary to teach
ing as are trained professional men in
the practice of the professions. 1t fol-
lows that every state which demands
the highest grade of teaching should
provide adequate facilities for the
training of teachers. Educational train
ing today is in the direction of uiti
mately recurring professionally train
ed teachers in all the schools. The
city school systems are already de-
manding professionally trained teach
ers as a condition precedent to their
being eligible for city positions. In
the standard of teaching qualifications
the cities are entitled to no more than
the country schools.

Navy Loses Jackson,
Who Breaks an Ankle

ANNAPOLIS. Nd. Oct. 26.-Jackson,
one OF the pair OF Navy ends who
have been winning football laurels. In
all probability will not get into an
other game this season. This became
generally known for the first time
yesterday, when II was announced
that Jackson's injury sustained in the
West Virginia game on Saturday was
q broken ankle.
The workout consisted of rudiment-
airy work and O stiff scrimmage, In
which the varsity had little trouble
in scoring three touchdowns on the
scrubs. Mills. who made a very good
guard last year. has abandoned any
attempt to make the varsity line this
season. An injury to his knee sus-
tained last season has incapacitated
him for this season.
