AS the head OF Il rural high school, ii
has been my experience and obscrva-
tion that the graduates OF our normal
schools form the largest contingent OF
that noble army warning on !lliteracy.
AS the writer OF that article states
that the elementary teachers outnum-
her the others, and that they are
nearly 100 per cent women. it follows
from her argument that the normal
schools as existing now can, and are,
filing the bill.

want higher education for women"

Both of these things will not be

fair to force them to wait. Just n few

co-ordInntc College Necessary.

To the Editor OF The Times Dispatch
Sr.--Much OF the misapprchcnsion as
To the good that will result; from the
establishment OF n coordinate college
to he affiliated with the University of
Virginia. arises from the fact that the
true position OF the high school in the
public school system is either not un-
dcrstood or not appreciated.
That position is. indeed. unique. The
public high school serves as n Cranary
for all institutions above and below 1t:
IL in great measure feeds the college
and the university. the normal school
and the normal training class. In the
year 1915. from all the normal insti-
tutcs. there were 2ll full State normal
graduates who could teach In the high
and the elementary schools. 133 grad
mates with junior state certificate rs.
fourteen with elementary professional
certificates. seventysix with high
school training certificates and two
with professional first-rradc ccrtifi-
catcs-fcwcr than 5OO--inost OF whom
could teach only in the elementary
schools
Virginia needs several times as many
trained elementary school-teachcrs
every year. The very large majority
of the elementary teachers-now
ninety-and for many years to come
will 20 directly from the high schools
into the teaching profession. All the
professional preparation they have
has been received indirectly from their
high school teachers. The most scri-
GUS criticism that can be and frequent
ly is voiced against the high school
teachers OF to-day Is their lack of pro
feSsional training. This defect must
u" wiped out if there is to no n mark =
ed Improvement in the elementary
schools--if Virginia is to lose the stig-
ma of ranking as the forty-sevcnth
state in public education. The high
school teacher, whether she wishes it
so or not, is a potent force that must
be rcckoned with; her influence, wheth-
or for good or for i'll. pcrmeates the
whole educational system.
Where shall the future high school
teachers receive that professional
training absolutely necessary TO them
selves. az we'll as TO the system" The
