alterations, thus having half the stnd

have If we should review al 10 the
brief six hours Of one day. The above
is the weekly programme. The daily
programme will be arranged ct the
proper time. Teachers. will prepare
themselves with textbooks on The snb-
jects mentioned in the above course
and be in readiness. Tho time a not
far distant.
Now we wish to say this 70 teachers
and to would -be-teachers, that. N
mere fact of your attendance III the
"Normal," will not be . sufficient
guarantee that you will get certifi.
cate. Yet we shall try to educate
boards Of directors up to that point
that they will be not . little cautious
about employing those who iWillfully
neglect or refuse to attend this school
of preparation. We know that those
| who will avail themselves of the op.
portunity will possess 1t the close Of
the months work advantages that they
would not otherwise possess. We
shall have prominent educators to
deliver lectures during the course,
aud shall endeavor to combine pleasure
and profit.
