SHALL WISCONSIN TRAIN
HER OWN TEACHERS?

At a recent hearing before a leg
islative committee at Madison, the
question of whether Wisconsin shall
train her own teachers for the pub
lie schools was rather sharply
raised. The matter up for discussion
was the proposed degree bill for Wis
consin normal schools. The bill pro-
poses to authorize the Normal Board
of Regents to grant degrees to
teachers completing four year cours-
es in Wisconsin normal schools.
The chief opponent to this bill APP
rearing before the committee, was
DR.. E. A. Fitzpatrick, Dean of the
Graduate School at Marquette Uni
versity. DR.. Fitzpatrick was of the
opinion that Wisconsin should not ex-
tend its teacher training facilities,
,, and that four year courses leading
to degrees should not be conducted
in the normal schools. Marquette
University is now building $1,000,-
900 teacher training school plant and
evidently expects to engage extern
sively in the training of high school
teachers.
Considerable publicity has been
given throughout the state to DR..
Fitzpatrick's contentious. His argu-
ment that the normal schools by the
proposal to grant degrees, would be
| embarking upon new enterprise
which would lead ultimately to
| large expense, was very fatty contra
dicted by the proponents of this
measure. 1t was pointed out that the
normal schools are now conducting
four year courses, and that large
body of students are completing
three year courses and entering
the high school field. The proposed
measure is for the purpose Of recog-
nizing work now being done and to
insure standard requirements for
teachers entering the high school
field, that is to say, four year courses
with degrees. The proposal is for
purely professional degrees with 10
idea of making the normal schools in
to liberal arts colleges. but combining
them strictly to teacher training
work.
The bill was supported before the
committee by a large number of
prominent educators, including State
Superintendent John Callahan, Sec
rotary Doudna, representing the
State Teachers Association, Mayor
Emmett Miles of Fort Atkinson,
Superintendent Gossling of Madison,
AID the assistant superintendent of
the Milwaukee CRY schools. The
County Training School Association
and County superintendent Associ-
alton of the state placed themselves
on record as favoring the passage Of
the bill. The arg'mens was made by
those favoring this legislation that
the training of teachers for The public
schools is a matter 10 be carried on
at public expense and under the di-
rection and supervision of public
school officials.
This bill passed the Senate with
out dissenting vote, but will meet
with some opposition in the Assem-
bly,, owing to the misrepresentation
of the facts regarding this important
measure.

GAL IVAN
HTTSDRY
UNIT
Massachusetts Congressman
to Ask That Haynes Post
Be Abolished !.

A sharp attack upon Roy A.
Haynes, prohibition commissioner,
whose powers were stripped from
him in the reorganization Of the
Federal dry unit, was made today
by Congressman Gallivan (Dem.)
of Mass, one of the wet" leaders
in the House.
Haynes has no power left but
he still draws $500 a year from
the Government to merely act in
an advisory capacity to the Anti
Saloon League and other profess
sional reform organizations CALI
van said.
Abolition of Post Seen
Gallivan indicated he might move
in Congress to have Haynes post
abolished.
Congressman Gallivan has placed
evidence in the hands of Assistf mt
Secretary Lincoln G. Andrews of
the Treasury OF the expenditure OF
more than 81 900 of Government
money by prohibition agent DUR
ing months stay at the Mayflower
Hotel here while working on the
case of two of the employees.
Mr.. Gallivan told a story of the
souandering of large sums of
money for entertainments that end
ed in a banquet for thirteen per-
sons at which liquor was served.
AS a member of the House sub.
committee holding hearings on the
Treasury appropriation bill, Cali
van is fighting increased funds
for dry law enforcement.
The prohibition unit has asked
for an appropriation Of $1O,635 .685
for next year compared to $1O,216,
$50 it received this year. OF this,
81 500, 900 would be used to en-
force the narcotic law.
$22, 600, 900 Sought
With funds for the coast guard
and other activities, however, the
total appropriation for prohibition
enforcement would be about $22,
