OBJECT

OBJECT.
Teachers can not stand still. We must
keep pressing forward, or step aside and give
place TO those who do prepare themselves TO
answer the demands of educational progress.
The object of this normal will be, to give
every teacher something Of practical value TO
him in his regular work. The time will not
be spent in examining for the closing exami-
nation, nor will it be wasted Ia Improbable
discussions of tine-spun theories. But the
plan of work will be to consider before the
normal, as a class, the subjects OF each
branch, thus giving the teacher 10 a practical
way, intelligent views of both subject matter
and the method Of treating it.
Instruction will be given in school econ
Omy, elyics, pedagogy, penmanships drawing
music and In the construction OF simple
apparatus for illustrating facts OF the natural
sciences,

events and praeticaltopics of the day. These
