The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1890-08-15

There are probably some young people in
this community who possess more or less
talent for drawing. and who only need the
opportunity of cultivating their talent to
make an artistic and financial success, and
achieve fame and fortune by their work.
For the benefit of such aspiring artists the
Detroit Museum of Art was founded, and il
is now fully equipped for the work OF
thorough instruction in drawing, painting,
modelling. architecture and decorative de-
sign. The next term opens on September
Is. The rates of tuition are gagged with
reference to simply paying the running eX-
penses of the school, and are probably the
lowest of any art school III the country. II
is calculated that board and lodging can be
procured for pupils who desire it in respec
table boarding houses at low rates, so that
it is anticipated that $500 will be sufficient
to carry the pupil through the school year
for the two principal items of tuition and
board, if he Is disposed to be economical.
Through the generosity of gentleman q
$1,000 scholarship will be offered for two
years study in Europe. There will also be
other scholarships of a terms tuition in each
class. Altogether, art students i'm Michigan
have never had better opportunities for
thorough artistic training, combined with
such small expense, and such valuable
prizes as are offered by the Museum of Art
to sincere workers. Any further informa-
ton in regard to TERMS classes, etc, can be
obtained by addressing the Secretary, Muse
um of Art, Detroit.
Tuesday, September 2, will he the open
ing day of the Michigan State Normal
School, a date which is being anticipated
and prepared for by hundreds of Michigan'5
present and prospective young school teach
ers. The fact may not have presented
itselfto all our readers, but nevertheless it
it fact, that The State Normal School Of
Michigan, at Ypsilanti, is acknowledged to
be at the very head of American Normal
Schools, an additional reason for pride in
our state and its institutions. The State
Normal School has at present a faculty
composed of twenty-nine expert Normal
teachers, many of them being noted special
lists i'm their particular lines of Instructions,
This school is the only educational inst
tuition in the state possessing the privilege of
granting limited and life certificates to its
graduates to teach in any of the public
schools of the state. The Normal School
has but single purpose-t bends all It's
ample energies to preparing teachers for
their work. The fact that text books are
furnished free to all its pupils Is another
peculiar advantage possessed by. the State
Normal School. Tuition at the Normal il
free to residents of Michigan, and the Ell
trance fees amount TO but ten dollars per
year, to students not holding Legislative
certificates.
All high school graduates are admitted to
the Normal, upon diploma, without exami-
nation, and credited with studies already
completed.
Students graduating in any of the Normal
courses are entitled to certificate of quail
fication to teach in the public schools OF
Michigan. The three years courses lead to
such certificate, good for five years. The
four years. courses lead to life certificate
and diploma. The six years courses and
the course for college graduates lead to the
degree of Bachelor Of Pedagogy.
Ypsilanti, where the State Normal School
is located, is one of the handsomest and
most healthful cities in the state. The ex-
pense of boarding and living there is lower
than at almost any other school town, and
the advantages i'm all respects are not excell-
ed in any city or town.
