North-west Nebraska Needs
A State Normal School.
Last Tuesday the House of Representa
tives resolved itself into a committee of a
whole and much time was consumed in
considering the purchase of the Wayne
Normal school. The bill under discussion
called for an appropriation of $100,060 for
the purchase of this normal. A special
committee had been sent to Wayne to in
vestigate conditions, and this committee,
consisting of seven men, from both parties,
and ftom every section of the state, re
ported favorable to its purchase for $90,000.
After a hot debate and a few "tricky" po
litical moves to amend the bill it was
recommended to pass by a large majority.
All indications at the present time are
favorable toward the passage of this bill
which is undoubtedly a good one and
should be passed. But should the bill
pass and a State Normal School be located
at Wayne, it is the sentiment of all the
school population of the state and entire
population of the west that there should
be another normal school located in the
north-west part of the state in a central
position so as to be accessable to the 1000
or more teachers required to instruct the
boys and girls of this great northwestern
one third of the state.
It seems that the only hopes that can be
entertained at the present time is the pass
age of the Chase bill, as ammended, which
asks for an appropriation of $25,000 for the
erection oi a state normal scnooi to do lo
cated by the state board of education at
some point north of the forty second par
allel and west of the ninety ninth meridian.
It is certain that not a single senator or
representative in the present legislature
would withhold his hearty support from
this bill which has for its object the estab
lishment of a state normal school in west
ern Nebraska if he were familiar with con
ditions as they actually exist in the west.
The people of the west are not opposed to
the Wayne proposition or any other pro
position that would give to the teachers of
northeastern Nebraska a state normal
school. We have, for years, paid without
murmuring, the taxes assessed against us
that have gone to support the state institu
tions in other parts of the state. Notwith-
standing that, this territory does not hare
a single permanent state institution within
its boundries.
A normal school established in north
west Nebraska would mean that the teach
ers of the great northwest would linjoy the
privileges of professional training that are
accorded the teachers in other parts of the
state. It would mean a recognitioh of the
just rights of the teaching force of this
great area. It would mean that our teach
ers would no longer bo required to go as
far to receive their professional training as
would be necessary for the teachers of
eastern Nebraska to go if compelled to get
their training from points as far remote as
Chicago There is a law in the statute
book of Nebraska which says to our teach
ers, in affect, YOU MUST HAVE NOR
MAL TRAINING BEFORE THE
STATE OF NEBRASKA WILL PER
MIT YOU TO RECEIVE A CERTIFI
CATE TO TEACH IN HER PUBLIC
SCHOOLS. Yet they are not provided
with the means to secure this training.
Now, it seems no more than just to us that
tho senators throughout the state, after
considering the conditions of the northwest
as compared with other parts of the state,
give their support to the passage of this
bill. Ora E. Phillips, County Supt.
Another W. C. T U. sliver medal
contest will bo held in tho M. E. church
