SAM HOUSToN ST'ATE NORMAL SCHOOL.
In 1879 the Normal School was established
by the State of Texas for the purpose
of training competent teachers for the public
schools. Regarding the Normal School: as
the heart of the public-school system, it was
decided to name the proposed institution the
"i Sam Houston Normal Institute," in honor
of the hero of Texas independence. Houston
had spent the evening of his eventful life in
Huntsville. Here was his neglected grave.
As an everlasting monument to the honored
dead the Normal School was located at
Huntsville. On the 1st of October, 1879,
the institute opened, with Bernard Mallon
as principal. Coming liere, he had said that
he would make this his last and best work.
But the life of this great man, so much loved
and so much honored, was near its close.
On the 21st of the same month in which the
school opened he entered upon his rest. H.
H. Smith succeeded Professor Mallon, and
continued in charge of the school to the close
of the second session.. The third annual session
opened on the 26th of September, 1881,
with J. Baldwin as principal. The school
has generally prospered, and is in the highest
sense a State school for educating teachers.
The school is greatly indebted for its
establishment and success to the liberality of
the trustees of the Peabody education fund.
The general agents, Dr. B. Sears and Dr. J.
L. M. Curry, have done everything possible
to foster and build up a normal school
worthy of the great State of Texas./
