NORMAL
Oregon has but one Normal School. This school
is located at Monmouth. ExceHent as is the work
of this school it is utterly unable to supply but a
small part of the need for trained teachers for the
State.
Owing to the crowded condition of our one Normal
at Monmouth and also the distance and expense of
attending, students from Eastern Oregon are com
pelled to go to neighboring states to secure their
training as teachers.
ONLY
COSTS
4
CENTS
PER
$ 1 ,0 0 0
The annual maintenance cost of the proposed State
Normal School in Eastern Oregon amounts to but one
25th of a mill or 4 cents on a thousand dollars of taxable
property. Isn’t It worth this to have your children trained
to become useful and productive citizens?
STRONG
ENDORSEMENTS
Among those who strongly endorse the establish
ment of the proposed Eastern Oregon Normal School
are Governor Withycombe, J. H. Ackerman, Presi
dent of the Monmouth State Normal; W. J. Kerr,
President of the Oregon Agricultural College; P. L.
Campbell, President of the State University; Robert
C. French, former President of the Weston Normal,
and practically all of the leading educators of the
State. J. A. Churchill, Superintendent of Public In
struction, voices the sentiments of those who are
most familiar with the need of more adequate Normal
facilities when he says:
"Oregon’s greatest need for Its rural schools is the
teacher who has had full preparation to do her work.
Such preparation can best come through Normal School
training.
"I trust that the voters of the state will assist In raising
the standard of our schools by establishing a State Nor
mal ’School at Pendleton. The location Is central, the In
terest of the people of Pendleton In education most excel
lent, and the large number of pupilsTn the public schools
will give ample opportunity to students to get the amount
of teaching practice required In a standard normal school.’*
All the above educators insist that a , Standard
Normal School must be located in a town of 5000
or more population and having enough grade pupils
for teaching practice.
