Excerpt from Historical Sketch of Normal Instruction in Wisconsin 1846-1876 In the preparation of this sketch, as will easily be seen, there has been no attempt at ornament; there has been, however, a persistent and laborious effort at accuracy in matters of fact. But in an account extending over so many years, and prepared under such circumstances as this, it must needs be that some omissions and even errors exist. The most that can be hoped is that they are not serious ones. It has been the aim to make a tolerably complete and convenient book of reference, and at the same time to preserve, as far as possible, the form of a connected narrative. With this in view, the matter has been arranged in chapters under such general heads that a person interested only in a particular point or direction need not be compelled to read the whole book in order to find the desired information. Although this plan has made considerable repetition necessary, it has been adhered to faithfully throughout, even where the repetition was very distasteful to the writer.
