SCHOOL OF METHODS.
Fannie K. BOuheAe, PRINCIPAL
Late Prof. of Language. Literature and Methods,
Winona Normal School.
Method is the soul of teaching. With
out an understanding of proper Methods
of Teaching, the work done in the school
room will be poor and l~ifeleSs, often a
damage instead of a benefit to the pupils.
Are you about to prepare to engage in
this work, second to none in its great and
far-reaChing importance ? Then you can
not afford to spend your time and money
for less than THE BEST. In thoroughly
mastering a complete and consistent
course in Methods you will be laying the
corner stone of your future and
progress as a teacher. Not how much,
but how well, is the test to which your
labor must be submitted in these days OF
many workers and fierce competition.
We have been peculiarly fortunate in
securing the services of FANNIE KINDER
BoUTELLR, than whom there is not a
more experienced and competent teacher
of Methods to be found in the west to
take charge of the work in this depart
ment of our school.
She is a graduate from both the Ele-
mentary and Advanced Course of the
Oswego, n. Y. State Normal School,
without doubt the best State Normal
School in America. Here she became
thoroughly grounded in the great under
lying principles upon which all correct
instruction in Methods of Teaching is
based, while the theoretical part of her
education in this direction was supple
mented by much actual practice in the
admirable system of Model Schools con-
nected with that Institution.
The most important part of the life
work of this gifted lady as an educator
has been given to Method and Practice
Teaching work thus she has proved and
tested the best, and comes to us with the
rich results of a long and successful ex-
perience. 1t is to be especially noted
that she has had work in grades reaching
from tie k0zOeSt Primary TO tie most a4-
0anced work in Htgh and Normal
Schools.
Soon after leaving the Oswego School,
Miss Kimber had charge of all the Pri-
mary work and Primary teachers in one
of the school buildings in Norwalk, Con-
necticut. Later she was the Principal,
for two years, of the City Training School,
in Logansport, Indiana, in which the best
of their teachers were prepared to enter
upon their work. She left that place
TO accept the position of Teacher of
Methods and Superintendent of Practice
Teaching in the State Normal School at
Winona, Mimi, at that time the fore
State Normal School in the West.
Miss Kimber's success in all of these
important and trying positions was thor
ough and complete, as many iattering
testimonials from distinguished educators
bear witness, and as hundreds of success
full young men and women, formerly her
pupils, would most gladly testify.
To teach others how to teach, to show
how the faculties of the mind are to be
developed and trained and disciplined,
to point out what to use and what to shun,
to assist in forming such mental habits
as shall enable those who enjoy her in
struction to wisely adapt themselves to
the various circumstances of the teachers
profession, are the things which FANNIE
x. BoUTELLE is most eminently fitted,
by education and experience, to do, and
to do in tie most Vaknabk and satisfactory
manner.
1t means a matter of dollars and cents
to you in your future work. What zVtH

Special attention is called to the fact
that we, UNLIKE MANY OTHER
SCHOOLS, EMPLOY A METHOD TEACH
Err FOR H ENTIRE YEAR. thus enabling
