THE ADVANTAGES OF HIGH SCHOOL TRAINING
IN A NORMAL SCHOOL
During the past few years, there has been much
discussion as to whether Normal schools and high
schools should exist under the same administration.
It is thought that the Normal school’s course should
not be given in schools where high school training is
offered. The predominant reason for this is that the
Normal courses attract much of the attention that
should be given by the high school. The question i3,
“Can the high school department meet its obligations
to an advantage in the same school which offers
Normal training?”
In view of the fact that there are some disadvan
tages to the high school students who receive their
training in a Normal school, I believe that there
are some decided advantages to the high school
students.
I believe the students who take their high school
train'ng in a Normal school are more competent than
students who do not; for the association of the
Normal and high school groups and the exchanging
of ideas gives to the high school students an added
knowledge. The Normal students are more advanced,
and are better able to help the high school students
to solve the problems that confront them. The
various programs conducted by the Normal depart
ment gives the high school students an opportunity
to see how much attention a child in the elementary
school must receive in order to fit himself for the
high school work. These students are also able to
get acquainted with the problems that confront the
teachers and student, which broadens the knowledge
of the high school student and is thus a decided
advantage.
In conclusion, I will say that no one should miss
the opportunity to secure his high school training in
a Normal school.—Sherman Williams.
