Mrs. Hatton's Case-Trcasurer's Re-
port-AppIications of Teachers
For Northumberland business
Transacted at Last Nights Ses-
sion of the School Board.

The action of the board of education
last night in relation to affording the
University of Utah greater facilities
for observation and practice was the
most important feature of the meeting
1t came up on a report from the
| teachers and school work which fully
and explicitly explains the situation as
appended.
Your committee on teachers and
school work respectfully report that II
has had under consideration the details
and conditions that should necessarily
be determined in granting the Uni
versity of Utah greater facllltleS ZOE
observation and practice, as recon-
mended previously, which was referred
to this committee for further con-
siderat ton at the last meeting OF the
board.
1t is reasonable TO assume that the
ESTABLISHING nt of a higher standard OF
excellence by the University, requiring
of its normal graduates greater at
tainments. both as to scholarship and
methods of teaching will have a cores
ponding result directly beneficial to
our public schools and to the advant'
age of every child who attends them
In this connection we are pleased to
report President Talmage's announce
ment that the three years normal
course will. at once, be revised so as to
require an additional year to complete
the same, and obtain a diploma.
Your committee recommend that the
training school conducted in the deaf
mute building be transferred TO the
Fremont school where observation can
be had in all the grades under condl'
tons as follows:
First-The Normal school shall be
permitted to use the Fremont schooI
as a training or model school for OBJ
servation and practice; provided that
said school, in respect to its manage
ment, corps OF teachers. textbooks,
and courses of study, shall be subject
to the same rules and regulations as
apply to other public schools of the
city.
Second-Under this arrangement the
students in the last years course of
the Normal school, as directed by the
principal, shall have unlimited oppor-
tunity of observing the teaching in the
said model school; without, however,
interfering with or lnterrupting in any
way such teaching; provided that dur
ing one hour Of the afternoon sessions
the Normal students. under the in
spection of the regular teachers, shall
have the opportunity Of teaching and
conducting Rotations.
Third-The nomination and assign
ment of teachers to the training school
shall be made by the superintendent of
as may be of the principal of the Nor
NAL school and subject to the rules and
regulations of the board of education
Fourth-In case the average cost of
instruction al the training school. be-
cause of the assignment there o.
highly paid teachers, is greater than
the average cost Of instruction else
REIN bursed for such additional cost,
by the University of Utah.
Fifth-The board of education is also
to be reimbursed, by the University
for the cost of any excess of school
supplies or materials over the proper
Tomato amount used by other schools
SiXth-Any of the details herein pro-
vided for, or the entire arrangement
may be modified or terminated by the
board of education, after reasonable
notice, if in its judgment the circum-
stances exist which justify such &C.
ton.
