School, to any person who shall have been
a member of such school for one term,
provided, that in his judgement such Ger
tifcate Is deserved.
To all persons found qualified to enter
q State Normal School, if residents oil
this State, tuition is free. The object in
establishing these institutions is to pro-
vide qualified teachers for our public
schools; and while none entitled to ad-
mission will be excluded from either
school, so long as there is room, it is
naturally expected that those who seek
admission will resort to the nearest school,
and that the School at Oshkosh will,
therefore, be chiefly filled with pupils
from the northern, and more especially
the northeastern counties of the State.
Permit me to ask your cooperation in &C
complishing this result, so that this School
may open with full attendance
