Excerpt from Problems Involved in Standardizing State Normal Schools
Sir: The value of the schools, and especially of the schools for younger children, depends almost wholly on the ability, knowledge, and skill of the teachers. Like every other complex and difficult art, the art of teaching can be acquired only through careful training and the conscious application of underlying principles. The consciousness of these facts has given rise in all culture countries to schools maintained at public cost for the purpose of giving young men and women preparing for teaching such instruction in principles, methods, and devices, and such practice in their application as will enable them to begin the work of teaching with some degree of certainty of success. In this country such schools are called normal schools. Although the United States has done less for the preparation of its teachers than other countries in proportion to expenditures for education and to numbers of children in school, there are in this country 235 State normal schools, with a total attendance of about 89,537 students and an annual expenditure of $8,970,377. These figures do not include municipal and private normal schools. A decade and a half ago appropriations for the support of these State normal schools were $2,510,934 and the annual enrollment of students was 44,808. Because of the large expenditures for normal schools and a growing appreciation of the importance of their place in our systems of public education, there is an increasing general desire for some intelligent accounting of their organization and work. For this reason and for the purpose of laying a foundation for such detailed studies of many specific phases of their organization and work as will aid in such modifications and readjustments as may seem desirable, Dr. Charles H. Judd, director of the school of education of the University of Chicago, and Dr. Samuel C. Parker, dean of the college of education of the University of Chicago, both special collaborators in this bureau, have, at my request, made a general preliminary study of these schools and have reported the results of their studies in the accompanying manuscript. I recommend that this manuscript be published as a bulletin of the Bureau of Education under the title "Problems Involved in Standardizing State Normal Schools."

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a complete overview of the state normal schools throughout the United States. It includes detailed statistical information on each normal school, organized in a useful, comparable format. The authors of this book take a broad view of the development and current status of these institutions, noting that they are distinct from other institutions of higher learning and have not been included in discussions of higher education in the United States. The report outlines the development of these schools, the reasons for their establishment, and the standards and practices they have developed. It discusses training courses and programs, course content, and modes of instruction, with an eye toward standardization. The work that normal schools contribute to the system of education and to society is examined and evaluated. The authors conclude with a discussion of the need for a more systematic approach to the study of normal schools so that they can be better standardized. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
