Book excerpt: Excerpt from State Normal School Systems of the United States, Vol. 2 It is the aim of the present paper to present the most important facts, statistical and otherwise relating to state systems of normal schools in the United States in brief and convenient form. In order that all the facts upon which the conclusions are based may be as accessible to the public as to the writer, the statistical summary and the replies to the circular letter on normal school systems are printed in full in the appendix. At first sight, it may seem strange that the figures for the near 1902-03 should be the latest obtainable. The United States bureau of education which furnishes these statistics works with all possible dispatch, but the enormous magnitude of the task and the difficuity of securing prompt returns prelude more rapid tabulation and publication. The writer is also indebted to the following books for information: Gordy. J. P., Rise and Growth of the Normal School Idea in the United States: Washington, 1891, Dexter, .E G., A History of Education in the United Stater, New York, 1904 and Hinsdale, B. A., Training of Teachers in Butler's Monographs on Education, Vlo. I Albany, 1900. In some cases, the writer has referred to certain states as having one normal school, when very recently this policy has been departed from and one or two new institutions established. These schools are too new to have effected conditions, so that in comparing results, there is no injustice in classing these commonwealths with states which have never departed from the one central school idea.
