Normal School Plan Spurs Georgia University Reform
The University of Georgia debates a plan to establish a Normal School as a department of the state college. If approved by faculty and Trustees, the program would open the first Monday in April with lectures for teachers and superintendents, plus pedagogy courses, using university facilities. The move promises closer ties among Georgia's schools and higher education, enabling rural districts to prepare capable teachers without tuition.
