 • dedication The atom bomb of 1849 exploded when James Marshall, a pioneer carpenter, discovered golden flecks of a prized mineral in California. The yellow blaze of this momentous discovery became the goal which lun d the 49’ers on their trek across the country in search of sudden wealth. A century later the men and women of the United States are still searching for wealth, but they have learned that the dollar sign is not tin- only worthwhile standard of value. Through such men as Governor Janies Pollock of Pennsylvania, under whom a system of State Normal Schools was established, and Thomas II. Burrows, author of tin- Normal School Act, education has earned an honored place in the hearts and minds of all. To these men and the countless others who moved, just as the 49’ers of gold rush days, through hardship and adversity to their ultimate goal of standard teacher education, we dedicate this issue of the Saxigena.
