1856 PUPILS IN
PUBLIC SCHOOLS

The biennial report of John Ed
wards Bray, superintendent OF public
instruction. shows a total of 1886
school children in 1916 and an aver
age daily attendance of 1913. With
the average daily attendance 70 per
cent or more of the enrolment, the
showing is certainly creditable to Ne
vada when compared with more ia
vored states.
The report says: I'VE are paying
yearly for teachers salaries mot
counting the University approx
mately $3.50. 900, a considerable por-
ton of which is paid to teachers year
ly brought in from other states. This
bringing in of teachers is necessary
because of the fact that we are pre-
pairing yearly scarcely one-third of
the new teachers needed in our
schools. Evidently we need to widen
our normal school facilities so as to
enable III young people in much
larger numbers to prepare for teach
ing, and we need to make the condi-
tions in teaching more inviting and
profitable. The complete State nor
NAL school contemplated by the act
of 1887 should be established in order
that we may have on a much larger
scale right preparation of teachers
for our elementary schools and such
preparation should be on modern
IfpCu Of urnrLy Drena offnn nf faonh-
ers for high schools should be con
tinued. but we need to stress the
preparation of our young people for
elementary work. as great short
age of teachers is in that field. We
are now bringing into the State yearly
approximately $50 teachers, the ma
iority of these teaching here, on an
average, but one year; and we are. IN
consequence, paying out to teachers
brought in yearly from other states
approximately $125, 900 in salaries.
THE county normal schools should
be preserved. In general, every grad
uate has made good in the rural
schools. 1t is recommended that pro
visions be made to continue the county
normal, or some form of it, in the
county high schools, in order to reach
out for the boys and girls of our own
State and prepare them for the work
of the public schools. Do not believe
it is advisable even to extend the
teachers certificate to these gradu-
ates for more than three years. or to
renew the same through legislation.
Each graduate Of a county normal. or
of it's substitute in the county high
school, should be required after three
years of teaching to progress in the
profession by taking a further course
in the University of Nevada"
