New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1894-01-10

OF these desire to complete normal
school course. While the completion Of
University preparatory course of four
years, with Latin, admits to the advanced
professional class of our normal schools,
pupils who desire to become teachers,
will not be found willing to remain four
years for doing work that can be done.
| in three years. The courses offered
should, therefore, be so arranged as to
enable such pupils to complete in tlsree
years, as heretofore, course leading to
the advanced professional class of the
normal schools.
8. Most Of our pupils complete their
school education in the local schools.
Many of these do not wish to take Latin.
These should be offered general course
| without Latin. Such course can at the
same time be made to lead in three years
to the elementary professional class of
| our normal schools.
4. While pupils must decide upon
| entering the high school whether or not
they will take Latin, the required stud
les should be otherwise the same, in gem
eral, for all the courses during the first
two years At the beginning of the third
year, the pupil must then decide which
course to take. At the end cf the third
year, he may choose between nnormalschool
and university.if if he desires to attend eth
er.He may,if he prefers, defer his decision
to the end of the fourth y,ar. I believe
that in this way We shall have an increas-
ing attendance in the high school, and be
able to induce some of our pupils to en-
ter the University.
The following curriculum meets all
hesrequlrements pointed out above, as
we'll as the requirements of the H. s. B.
Its adoption would result in making our
school one of the First Class in the near
future. The appended program shows that
these courses can be offered with ulti-
mately not more than so hours of high
school work per week. Courses of stu
dy are given here together with program.)
The above courses of study might be
adopted by you, subject to approval by
the II. S. B., to take effect and be in
force from and after Sept. l, 1894. The
work of the present school year, howev-
er, should not be disturbed by changing
the programs now in force.
Even if no changes should be made in
the high school, additional room will be
needed at the beginning Of the next
school year, to reduce some of the lower
classes to not more than sixty pupils
each. would suggest that small adj
| dition be built On the rear of Union
Building, to be ready for occupancy
Sept. 1, 1894. The $4,000 by which you
intended to diminish the bonded indebt-
edness of this district, might be applied
toward defrayiug the cost of such addi-
ton, with the consent of the district.
Should the above courses be adopted
as suggested, and should work on the
proposed addition to Union Building be
begun early in spring, am confident
that the H. S. B. will grant us the State
aid fol the present school year.
In case of adopting the given courses
to take effect Sept. l, 1894, the time of
instruction required for high school clas-
ses during 1S94-95 will not exceed so
hours per week, as there will be no clas-
ses in Virgil and Anabasis during that
year. It would be necessary, of course,
to employ an additional teacher for the
high school from and after Sept. 1, 1894.

There is no danger that Jos. A.
Eckstein will resign his position as
member Of the Board of Examiners.
Mr.. EcksteiD believes in bold stand
for public school interests, and SO far
has a record that will stand inspection.
The true friends Of the schools do not
have any desire to see him yield.
