advantages 1t is believed that i'll the whole
appointments OF the school will be found suit
able conditions for vigorous, heathiul intel
tectual and moral growth.
| The school now enters upon the fourth
year of it's growth, and it is thus enabled to
offer to students those lines of work which a
| full course of study implies. The faculty is
| full, the material resources will be made am
| pie Tor the prosecution of all branches OF the
| course, and such literary work will be done,
| as the needs of students warrant, to secure
their entrance upon the regular Normal
course at as early day as practicable.
The advantages OF the River Falls Normal
are especially commended TO the attention of
those teachers of common schools who wish
for such influences as will reinforce their as
pirations for more thorough acquaintance
with the sciences which are taught in the
common schools, and who would march
abreast of the ever progressing art whose
| practice gives the Normal its characteristic
| feature Teachers are invited to spend much
their convenience dictates, and while the
school will not undertake to do i'll given
time, specific work relative to preparation OF
| teachers for any grade OF county certificate,
1t guarantees the best effort of its faculty and
of former students to stimulate teachers and
| students to noble aims and to full and ripe
understanding OF the business of life through
the thoughtful investigation OF worthy sub
ieets.
