Jease W. Armistead, chairman of the city school committee, argues in a published message that Atlanta should keep its normal training school. He supports Isma Dooly’s analysis, contending such schools feed and discipline future teachers, raise pedagogy, and prevent harmful cuts that would leave tomorrow’s students underprepared. He warns abolishing the school risks weakening future competitiveness and cites national practice in cities of similar size.
