Excerpt from Manual for the Normal and Industrial Training Courses in Kansas High Schools: 1911-1912 TO quote from the report of the Educational Commission of 1908: It is a well-known fact that the majority of the teachers of Kansas go into the Work with little or no special preparation. A number, small, however, compared with the number Of teachers in the state, attend some of our normal schools or colleges; but practically all the rural schools are in charge of teachers who have made no preparation except such as the academic studies give them. This'is even more Of a detriment than ap pears at first thought, for the graded schools, in which the greater part of the normal and college-trained teachers are employed, are usually super intended by men of experience and special fitness for the work, while the rural teacher has no one to whom she can go for daily advice and help.
