Aims o f HE Maryland State Normal School at Salisbury was located on the lower Eastern Shore in response to a long-felt need for a teacher¬ training school to serve the educational interests of this section of the State. Although it has been in operation only two years, it has already justified the faith of its sponsors, and is recognized as meeting a real need in professional education in Maryland. It is u caal institution dedicated to a single purpose: namely, to enable its graduates most economically and most satisfactorily to realize through the noble calling of the teacher those goals of knowledge, habits, skills, ideals, appreciations, and prejudices which arc the legitimate aims of the elementary school. It attempts to prepare high school graduates for acceptable teaching service in all types of elementary schools. It realizes that the future of America depends upon education, and education will be equal to its task only if it is directed by enthusiastic and well-trained teachers. Maryland very urgently needs teachers who will accept an isolated rural school never before taught by a Normal School graduate: who will attack the problems of a new and strange environment with unfailing enthusiasm: who will identify themselves with the varied interests of the people whom they are attempting to serve; and who know the meaning and the value of that professional spirit which must be possessed by those engaged in the biggest job in all the world. Such teachers Salisbury Normal School aims to supply. William J. Holloway. Z7M Eight
