MAWUINNEY H RYAN CO. 15th and Doujtts. (From a Staff Correspondent LINCOLN. Nob.. Dec. 6-(Special.V-In his annual report to Governor Sheldon, State Superintendent of Schools J. L McBrien today emphasizes the value of normal training furnished prospective teachers of the state through his depart ment. He presents a number of testimon ials to the efficiency of the junior normal schools held under supervlrton of his de partment and commends the work for con tinuation. Agricultural Instruction through the me dium of the high schools of Nebraska, the report says, has been of especial aid to the students who have taken the work, as has the use of the appropriation for the aid of weak districts. Superintendent McBrlen thinks the attention given educa tion by the last legislature will result in the utmost benefit to the various branches of work that center In his office. Junior Normal Schools. Speaking of the Junior normal schools, Mr. McBrien says: The enrollment In the eight Junior normal schools for the session of 1907 was 1,262, and for 1W was 1.448. making a total enrollment for the blennlum of i.710. Lur ing the past six years the total enrollment in the Junior nornal schools has reached t.75o teachers. Never did the state do so much good with so little money in the professional training of lis teachers. Senator Jesse L. Root, now a member or the supreme court, known In the last legislature as the "watch dog of the trea sury." after visiting the Junior normal schools at Alliance and North I'latte, wrote this department, under date of June 27 19tf, as follows: "1 had time to and did give my personal attention, both at Alli ance and North Platte, in th. done in the Junior normals there, 1 am not an educator, but I was deeply im pressed with the value of the necessity for these schools. 1 regret the appropriation was not greater for the purpose, although Is was all that was asked, as 1 remember the appropriations." Therefore, in the light of the amount contributed by the local people for the support of these schools and the opinion held by Judge Root on the need of a larger appropriation for their malntalnance and support, I shall recommend to the next legislature an appropriation of at least 30,000 for the Junior normal schools. State Aid to Weak Districts. Of the appropriation of 50,000 for weak school districts, the first payment of Wt was made In January, l9o&, and the sec ond payment of IS.um will be made be fore the close of this blennlum. No special appropriation ever before made in Ne braska has given school advantages that have been shared In by so large a number of school children of the state. The first payment was apportioned to forty-five counties, containing 711 school districts en titled to state aid. with a school census of 14,351. This means that during this blennlum over 15.000 boys and a-lrls will receive Increased school privileges under the provisions of this act. Although forty five counties are represented in the dis tribution of this fund." more than 86 per cent of the total amount will be received by twenty-five counties, the larger pay ment In every Instance going to the north ern and western counties, and the greatest benefits being derived by districts show ing the greatest need of special assist ance. The good resulting from the enactment of this law has already been written Into the official records of the state. In 1SU6-7 there were 330 school districts in the state that held less than three months of school. In 190i-8. the year following the enactment of the law, 238 districts failed to hold a term of three months or more. A start has been made In the right direction, but upon future legislatures rests the responsibility of carrying forward effectively the good work that was begun two rears uo. A condition that compels 238 schoel districts In Nebraska to hold lees than three months of school each year Is a menace to the wel fare of our state and a crime against every child of school age residing In such dis tricts. The best evidence of the successful opera tion of this law Is shown by the very strong endorsement given it fcy county superintendents and school officers. The legislature of I! should not stop short of an appropriation of lloO.utO stale aid to weak districts for the next bienmum. There was not sufficient data for the legis lature of 1W7 to make an appropriation com mensurate with the needs of tuese districts. Any reasonable person who makes a care ful study of thla question must admit that tloo.000 for the next blennlum is absolutely necessary. Normal Training; Ulan Schools. At the close of the present b.ennlum. March 31, 19o. there will be a surplus of at least tlo,X on hand in the annrDi lallon for the normal training high schools, to be applied on this work for the blennlum be. I ginning April 1, 1909. For the school year I 1S07-8 the number of high schools approved I for normal training under the act of 1907 was sixty-eight, and the number of Juniors and seniors who subscribed to the entrance declaration and did the work was 1.M0; for the school year 19o8-9 eighty-six high schools have been approved and the num ber of Juniors and seniors who have sub scribed to the entrance declaration and are now pursuing the work Is 1.502. I recommend that our law be so amended that a high school maintaining a normal training class be paid according to the number of students who complete the nor mal training course and pass the required examination for a teacher's certificate un der the rules now In force for the certifica tion of graduates of normal training high schools. Not how many in the class at the beginning, but how many finish the course that is the question. Aarlcnltnrnl High Schools. On entering upon my official duties as state superintendent, January 4, l!rr, 1 was convinced the time had come to empha sise the importance of agricultural educa tion and industrial training, and practically added a new department to the office by instructing Deputy E. C. Bishop to devote his whole time to the promotion of this work during my first term. The success which crowned his efforts was so phenom enal that we were forced to continue 1t during the present term. At this time there are at Ku.it U.iO boys and girls in Ne braska Interested In these various lines of work. This Impels me to recommend the establishment of not less than fifteen or more than twenty state agriculural high schools, under the management and con trol of the Board of Regents of the I'ni versity of Nebraska. The course of study should be the Nebraska High School Man ual Issued jointly by the 1'nlverslly of Ne braska and the state superintendent of Public instruction, so modified as to pro vide for the theory and practice of the ele ments of agriculture, manual training and domestic science. Opportunity should also be given for work In the theory and prac tice of manual training and domestic science In the grades below the high school. These state agricultura 1 high schools should be established as departments of the regular public high schools at the places designated therefor. Kor the support and maintenance of these school mere should be appropriated not less than llou. 0u0. No state agricultural high school should be established as a department of any regular public high school unless there is given to the slate the free use of a tract of land adjoining, at least five acres conveniently situated to said high school, for actual practice by all students In the agricultural departments of these high schools under the direction of com petent Instructors for experimental work in agriculture. One hundred thousand dollars appropri ated for this purpose would do more to promote the general welfare of our great commonwealth than It Is possible to do with five times this amount through any t'er canr I. At each place whe-e a state agricultural high school Is established the i ubhc a hool buildings. text b OAs and apparatus should he placed at the ser vice of the state, without coat, aggregat ing In money value nearly W.coa.ov .Thl plan would give the state 10o acres In ex- rt-rlmental farms, a fatuity of 1U) mem ers and a school of ! students, mak ing the greatest agricultu ai and indus trial school In tho I'nlled Slates.
