An OkieLegacy Centennial Moment

December 11, 1907, The Daily Oklahoman reported on page 6, Five Normal Schools needed For Teachers

Guthrie, Okla., Dec.10 (1907) -- "Many prominent teachers of the state are of the opinion that five normal schools will be necessary to accommodate the teachers and these preparing to teach in the state. It is agreed that the two schools required to complete this number will be established in the Indian Territory part of the stte, and because of the poor educational advantage of some parts of teh section and of the meager training that some of the best teachers there have received there from their own improvised normal school establishments, the board of regents of the state normal schools may urge the legislature to take early action looking to the location and construction of two more normal school buildings.

The new board of regents consists of State Superintendent Cameron, State Treasurer Menefee, Sidney Wiley of Tahlequah, J. R. Mosley of sulphur, and D. S. Rose of Blackwell. The board held its first meeting in the office of the deparment of education today."
