a practical, useful education that is
not surpassed in many localities in
the nation And when the Georges
Creek region is spoken of, it applies
with equal force to Garrett county,
for this county borders on the re-
giOn known as Georges Greek and
contributes in many ways to its ma
terial welfare. Not only are provis-
ions made for thorough training
through the eight years of elemen-
tary schooling and the four years of
high school, but the Frostburg State
Normal school is so located on trans
portation lines, such as the National
Highway, electric lines and steam
railroads, that it is easily accessible
to large percentage of the popula-
ton.
The completion of the work in the
Normal school entities the student to
the Normal diploma, which enables
him or her to teach in many states
without undergoing an examination
and in the state of Maryland, it en-
titles him to a first grade certificate,
which insures the highest minimum
salary paid to a teacher, who is just
entering the profession. The salaries
received by most of the Normal
school graduates are more than a
thousand dollars per annum and are
increased with experience and profess
sional spirit. The employment is
steady and certain. The Normal
school could find positions in the
state for many times the number of
graduates that file from the school
each year.
In many states, Maryland included,
the tendency is to require of all tea
cheers graduation from a Normal
school or its equivalent This adds
very materially to the importance of
the Normal school work, and with the
fact that graduation from an approx
ed four-year high school is made the
entrance qualification, it places the
Normal school, or teachers colleges.
as they are called in some states,
among the recognized standard edu-
cational institutions. This means that
the boy or girl Of Garrett county or
nearby can secure sufficient credits,
without one cent of expense to his
parents for tuition or books, to enter
the junior year Of a standard four
year college course and complete it
in two years The student who comes
from a distance must live in the
dormitory. The state has so provided
for this that the expense for board
and room is only $50 per year. In
an institution not supported by the
state, the expense would be regarded
as very low at $500 per year. Thus
the saving would be, at the Normal
school, more than six hundred dollars
for the two years course of study.
