Retrospect 6c Prospect tT w® i j y HIS Eastern Shore training school for teachers has now been serving the people of Maryland for five years. In each of the previous publications of this Annual the aims and purposes of the school have, from different angles, been briefly stated. To what extent have these objectives been realized ? The Board of Trustees wisely allowed the school much freedom in formu¬ lating its plan of administration and instruction. With no traditions to hamper it, the school realized the golden opportunity that confronted it, and the cor¬ responding tremendous responsibility that lay upon it, to establish worthy goals, to make them clear to its clientele, and to exert every necessary and proper effort to bring them to fruition. Five years is too short a time to afford a conclusive demonstration of the validity of the aims of a normal school, but it is long enough to justify ten¬ tative conclusions concerning its spirit, its life, and its achievements. Enough graduates have already gone into the field of elementary teaching service to enable the school administrator, the supervisor, and the patron to see what manner of preparation may be expected at the Maryland State Normal School at Salisbury. We are grateful for the favorable comments that have, in generous measure, been made concerning our work. This institution seems to have won the approval of those whose support is essential to its well-being. The future gives promise of added prestige and good-will enrollments, and of a steady, sure growth in the respect and good-will of the people of Maryland. “ ' Tis a consummation devoutly to be wish’d.
