Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the establishment and development of the normal school system in Missouri. The author traces the efforts made by the state's educators over a period of 30 years to gain the adoption of this system, which had proven successful in other states. The narrative begins by highlighting the inadequate educational provisions in Missouri during the mid-1800s and the lack of qualified teachers. The author explores the different plans and proposals put forth by the state officials who were instrumental in advocating for the establishment of normal schools. The eventual success of their endeavors led to the creation of two state-supported normal schools in 1870.
