Book excerpt: This report contains statistics from 382 schools engaged in the business of preparing teachers. Of this number, 80 are teachers colleges, 110 are State normal schools, 63 are private normal schools, 34 are city normal schools, and 95 are county normal schools. Although only 11 more schools are included in this report than were included in 1920, a substantial increase is shown in enrollment. The increase amounts to 68,202 students. The increase in number of those taking normal courses is 59,204, which is encouraging from the viewpoint of preparing teachers for elementary and secondary schools. The greater percentage of increase is among men students. In 1922, 80 institutions having a four-year course above the secondary school and granting a degree are classed as teachers colleges. The list is composed of 4 institutions formerly classed among colleges and universities, 71 institutions classed among State normal schools, and 5 institutions among private normal schools. (Contains 37 tables.) [Prepared by the Statistical Division of the Bureau of Education. Best copy available has been provided.].
