Plan for Normal Schools to Boost Rural Education Say Iowa Leader
F A Mahannah president of the Iowa State Teachers Association proposes creating normal departments in one accredited high school per county. The state would pay the normal program costs while the city provides rooms and equipment. County students would pay tuition and receive two years of normal training. If standards are met, graduates could teach in rural schools without further exams. Cerro Gordo County faces several winter vacancies and risk from underqualified teachers.
