Fairfield seeks State Normal School site in county
Fairfield proposes itself as the ideal location for a State Normal School citing its rail access, strong educational culture, existing Parsons college, Carnegie library, 18,000 book public library, water works and fire protection. The town notes absence of saloons since prohibition and the healthful climate as arguments. A 5,000 population county seat, Jefferson county’s rich agriculture underpins the bid, with executive committee members Gro. W. Ball and others submitting the case.
