schools At the tnme thxs was the only solution ayarl able lt IS qurte apparent that the students who toolc these courses were not so well prepared as were those who had gone to normal schools but they were ex pected to assume the same responsnbxlxtres ln 1919 the state refused to renew the contracts of the normal schools on the grounds that they were not producmg the quahty of teachers needed In 1971 homey er a solutron to the normal school problem vsas provrded for Vermont The Carnegrc Ioundatron of New York offered to grve 310 OOO and the trustees of the Unrversrty of Vermont offered to rarse 3200 000 for a centrally located normal school for the state For seyeral reasons Burlington was proposed as a possrble srte for the new lnstltutlon The town was easxly acces slble to all students there were enough children for practrce methods and there were many cultural facllr tres not avarlable IH other crtres When a brll for the establishment of such an mstrtu tron was presented to the General Assembly the senate passed nt by a yote of 29 9 The House however re fused to act posltlyely and mtroduced a plan to reestab lush the normal schools already ln existence After cer tam amendments had been made by the state the blll was passed The towns of Castleton and ohnson but not necessarily the present mstltutlons vsere given the right to establxsh teacher tramxng courses By 1915 Castleton and ohnson had adopted tvso year courses nn order to rmprove the standard of the graduates By sheer accident the state was agaxn prouded vs 1th an opportumty to bunld a centrahzed normal school for rn 1924 the burldmgs at Castleton were destroyed by hre An emergency board decided howes er to reburld much to the drsapporntment of those who fasored hay mg one school One of the major arguments against the location of the lnstltutlons vuas the lack of children ayallable for practlce purposes As a solution to thns problem rt vas proposed that the normal students be transported to nearby towns The arguments agamst thrs vlere as fol ows 1 While practlcrng the students should be under the supervrsron of the mstructor of the course This IS rmpossrble vxhen the students are scattered all os er the state 2 School boards and parents might be hostnle to wards havmg young rnexpernenced strange teachers practxce upon thelr chrldren 3 It would be an added expense to the student or school dependrng upon who was responsxble for the charges A great deal of time would also be wasted rn travel Another solution to the problem mnght have been a wrser dlstrlbutxon of puprls Twelve students were allowed to disregard the courses available at Lyndon six enrolled at Castleton could more easnly have gone to Burlmgton On the basls of these facts It would have been less expenslve by 38 000 for the state to E D have sent all of these students to Burhngton 312 000 could haye been say ed nf otflclals had opened addrtronal one year courses at Castleton and had sent the second year students to Burlrngton and Lyndon To crown It all lt would have been 3515 000 less expenslye to send all of these students to other states where at the trme they would haye recexved a better educatron Today the normal school sltuatlon rs the greatest problem confronting the State Board of Educatron By leglslatron rn 1947 Castleton and ohnson adopted four year courses at the same tlme the state leased class rooms from Lyndon for teacher trarnmg faelhtres and also offered to pay the tuntnon of any student vsho vushed to take the course at U V M Castletons most essentnal need at the present tnmc I9 a campus practice or laboratoryj school ln order to galn experience the students must go to other prrts of the state where pubhc school teachers are mllmg to cooperate rn the practxce program Den lf expense were excluded from the arguments against thus pro cedure the fact that the students are not under the superuslon of their Director of tramlng stlll remalns In this particular case the Board of Lducatron has sug gested that these changes be made or near the school property 7 lzqurpment should be prouded by the stlte or local authorrtxes 3 A contract should be made mth the toysn ot Castleton to rnclude taJ a cash payment to the state for the educatron of local school chlldren tbj the payments of laboratory teachers by the state and under the superusnon of the college cj the arrang mg for houslng and for releaslng these telchers so that no teacher who IS not acceptable to both the town and the state may be employed or contmuccl rn his vuorle Seyeral lmproxcments hase been made at johnson Ill the last few years New land has been purchased to pro yrde an athletxc field and space for nevs dormltorles as needed Repalrs and new equnpment haye greatly ln creased the efficiency of the school provrded dormr torles for students and supplred apartments for the mstructors A college bus has made rt possrble to tray el to varlous crtres nn the area for lectures plays specnal courses and teaching practrce Among other communrty projects the mstltutron rs operatrng a kindergarten for local chxldren Recently Lyndon has been 1n the spot llght The mstructxon at thus rnstrtutron rs excellent new courses have been made as arlable and the school has ample faerhtnes for practrce through nenghborrng schools The Chamber of Commerce rn Lyndonvllle and
