THE CHICAGO NORMAL COLLEGE The Chicago Normal College today, with its fine faculty and many studentf5, is vastly different from the first school of teacher training. It was in 1856 that a department for training teachers was established by the city for the first time. It was merely an additional course in the Central High School. The following year Edward C. Delano w as put at its head and he continued to direct the Normal School work in Chicago for twenty years. In 1865 a practice school which had long been recommended was established at the Scammou School under the direction of ]Mrs. Ella Flagg Young. Pupils were permitted to enter the Normal School upon examination directly from the grammar schools.

This excess was brought about by the elimination of entrance examinations. A training class for cadets was organized in 1893 in the North Division of the city. Three years later the Cook County Normal School, estab- lished in 1863, and the city cadet system were consolidated in the building of the County School, with the name of the Chicago Normal School and under the control of the city Board of Education. The Board had voted to accept the Cook County Normal School property and to maintain the Nor- mal School for the benefit of Chicago and Cook County with no cliange in its management. Colo- nel Parker was continued as the principal, serving in that capacity until his resignation in 1899. Dr. Arnold Tompkins succeeded him as the head of the school, which position he held until his death in 1905. Mrs. Ella Flagg Young then became prin- cipal, but in 1909 she became superintendent of schools and the post was again vacant. In 1871 the school became a separate institu- In 1905 the Chicago Normal College moved into tion, ])ut in 1876, because of an excess of teachers, a new building on the site of the old school. All
