STATE NORMAL GRADUATES.
Eighty Students to Receive Certih-
cates of Ability to Teach.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, June 2S.-The stu
dents of the Indiana State Normal School
left by hundreds to-day. Usually many
go home in the early part of commence
ment week, but this year many remained
over to witness "As You Like It," given
by the senior class last night.
The alumni association held its annual
meeting this afternoon. and tonight, with
the seniors, the members were the guests
at q reception rendered by the board OF
trustees and the faculty. The trustees were
in session to-day attending TO routine bus
mess. The selection of the faculty for the
next school year was made, the entire
corps of instructors being reelected. The
alumni association elected officers, as fol-
lows: President. Lawrence McTernan, 81,
Anderson, superintendent of Madison coun-
ty schools; vice president, Oscar Kelso. 70.
Terre Haute, member of the Normal facul-
ty; secretary, Miss Eta Blazer. '9S, teacher
in indianapolis schools: treasurer, Miss
Sarah Scott, '9s, teacher in Terre Haute
schools.
The unprecedentedly large number of d.
plomas to be awarded tomorrow is a very
significant fact. The state law has a pro-
vision that puts a student at the Normal
under a moral obligation to render service
as teachers for higher education and for
special preparation of young men, and
young men for the profession of educator.
For that reason IL was provided that On
graduation only a certificate should lie is
sued. When the graduate can bring to the
board of trustees evidence that he or she
has taught satisfactorily in the public
schools for two years after graduation the
diploma is awarded. This diploma is a state
life license TO teach in the public schools
of the State without being required to
stand the examination in each county
where the teacher may seek employment.
The return of such a large number for d.
plomas tells the story that the graduates
of the Normal are going into the profession
as a permanent pursuit in life.
