TRAINING OF
TEACHERS IS .
IMPORTANT
Such Is the Statement Made
in Article Published
in st. Paul.

st. Paul. Mimi, Dec. 16.-An article
on the Training Of Teachers" was
made public by the state s~Yperintend-
ent of public instruction. The activi-
ties Of normal schools and the success
of the apprentice teachers plan are
detailed in this article.
The article follows, in part: !.
The state has wisely recognized
that teaching Is a profession requir-
Ing not only interest and adaptation
on the part of the individual, but
specific technical training common
surate with that Of any other recog-
nized profession.
AS n means to this end. provision
exists for the training of rural teach
ers in high schools. The course is
one year. A pro requisite is the COM
pletion Of the first three years Of
high school. The number Of high
creased in the last ten years from less
than a dozen to more than n hun
dred. The graduates each year num-
Der more than 1900. They teach
in rural schools. Many continue their
training by graduation from normal
schools.
Until normal schools or other in
teachers for rural. as well as urban
elementary schools, the training
classes in high schools must, of need,
be maintained. AS soon as the sup
ply Of trained teachers for rural
schools will permit. the training de
partments in the high school should
consist Of a two-year course, the final
year being a fifth year.
The normal school board has defin-
itely discontinued the elementary or
one-year course in the normal
schools. All normal school graduates
are now two-year students.
The training of teachers for Sec
ondary education is net in an eff
cient manner by the college Of edu-
cation and by the several private col
leges in the state. The latter main
tain courses and standards for teach
er training based on those of the col
iege Of education. The preparation

sirable 47,5O0,ooo acres. A long and
almost perfect fall planting season,
coupled with an extraordinary effort
on the part of the farmers, resulted in
the seeding of a total of 49,027,00O
acres.
ION the same favorable seaso that
permitted the amazing increase in
acreage has also given to the grow
ing plant the finest condition on rec
ord, 98.5 per cent with eight import
ant wheat states at 100 per cent or
over, and only one state, and that OF
small importance in winter wheat, be-
low 30 per cent.
1.-THE crop promise on the basis Of
h present acreage and condition
with allowance for average spring
abandonment due to winter killing
n assuming an average season for
development Is for 765,000,000 BUSH
els of winter wheat. which Is S0,010,-
900 bushels more than produced in
any year Of record and 2~O6,651,000
bushels more than the winter wheat
production of this year.
1.-THE rye acreage this autumn is
slightly larger than last, being $780,
900 compared to 6,7OS, 900 acres. The
condition is SO per cent compared to
S4.1 per cen last year and ola aver
age, the condition being held down by
poor conditions in the important pro-
ducing states of North and South Da-
kota. This forecasts a somewhat
larger production than last years
record crop Of $4,000 0 bushels"

CITY HALL TODAY

Breaks Traditions.

Paris, Dec. 16.-President Wilson
began breaking traditions today when,
in addition to paying a formal visit to
the city hall for the appointed cere-
monies there, he planned to make a
call at $3.50 O'Clock this afternoon at
the ministry Of war for a talk with
Premier Clemenceau, who also is
minister of war. He decided also to
accept the dinner invitations of for
eign ambassadors, his first acceptance
being to the invitation extended by
the Earl of Derby, the British ambas-
sador to France.
The visit of the head Of a foreign
nation to the ministry Of war and his
acceptance Of the hospitality of for
eign ambassadors are not strictly in
accordance with custom, but Presi-
dent Wilson felt that the opportuni-
ties thus afforded of getting int per-
sonal contact justified him in disre-
garding the traditions.

Collector Hamilton. In making his
report TO the Treasury Departing nt,
preferred charges against Morton, and
they were turned over TO the Depart
