Palacios Summer Normals
 


The Palacios Summer Normal

The summer Normal School for teachers opened at the old school building Monday morning with an attendance fully up to expectations and settled down to the real work of the session with an interest and enthusiasm which promise to make it one of the most successful and profitable Normals held in the state this year. The school will continue for seven weeks, and is in charge of Prof. R. E. Scott, superintendent of the Bay City schools, as conductor. His assistants are Prof. W. A. Holland, principal of the Columbus high school; and Prof. R. S. Kingham, principal of the Rockport high school. Miss Leona Dodd, of Lockhart, instructor in primary methods, will be here during the last three weeks of the session. Forty-five students were enrolled Monday and Tuesday. More will arrive next week, and it is expected that the attendance will reach seventy-five or more. Following is a list of those now in attendance:

It is the purpose to make the summer normal permanent at Palacios. To secure it our own people by their interest in the school must show that they desire it. We must let the normal teachers and attendants know that we appreciate their coming here. Early action should be taken toward arranging for the year’s session, and we suggest that at some convenient time before the normal closes there should be a meeting of the citizens and normalites to discuss matters that might have any bearing on the school for next year. There is opportunity for building up at Palacios the greatest normal in the State. The right interest and co-operation on the part of the citizens will help greatly in accomplishing this end.
