First Normal School.

From the Chicago Journal.
The first normal school in America was
opened at Lexington. Mass. seventy-sev-
en- years ago. Prior to the Introduction of
the normal school system few teachers
we're really proficient. and the great ma
jority knew little or nothing about the
theory and practice of their profession
when they assumed their important du-
ties.
When natural aptitude was combined
with experience the result was often
highly satisfactory, but the salaries paid
teachers were so small that few continued
teaching longer than was necessary. The
development of the normal school gave
to teachers the dignity and Importance
Of a profession. and imposed standards
which have constantly become higher.
Massa chusetts took the lead in this great
movement, and most of the normal
schools in North America have been de-
veloped from the original Bay state model
Thanks to the normal schools there are
now very few inefficient teachers. The
first MANUAL training normal school was
established by the state of Kansas at
Pittsburg, and it represents Il new and
important extension in the scope of such
institutions for the training of teachers.

Gains Are Lost.

Some of the munitions and equip
ments, as well as unclassified special
ties, increased their opening gains be-
fore profit-taking caused d moderate
setback.
Rails then became the dominant is
sues at advances of l to 2 points in
leading shares, their strength being
concurrent with a ruling of the inter-
state commerce commission granting
higher rates on various commodities to
roads traversing southern and south
western territories. The movement in
that garter failed to hold. however,
activity abating before midday.
Bonds were lower, with further
heavineSs in Pennsylvania issues.
New High for Rails.
The market continued to drag its
weary way through the first three hours
of the session, with an aggregate bust
ness of but $4,000 shares.
Midway in the second hour of the aft
ernoon the rails took n fresh start. and
made new high records throughout the
list, with trading more or less diverted
to the old refiableS.
The fact that the interstate
commission had granted something in
the interest of the roads was looked
upon as a sign of recognition OF needs
that was promising for the greater de-
mands that Will be made, and are even
now being set before the commission.
Some Advances Scored.
Union Pacific advanced 2 points. to

the history of bonds in this country
from the early railroad issues to the
present war bonds. He predicted that
at the close of the war IN europe
there will be a short revival due TO

would probably be followed by a de-
preston lasting ten years He SAID
that in his ountry business pronapiy

dicted. The ~dismantling of munition
