 The standard for admission to the state Normal school has been raised by making it necessary for all pupils who are admitted to have a high school diploma. It has been customary in the past to grant sdmittance to graduates from the grammar school alone, The result has been that. while the pupils have been able. to pass examinations for entrance. In some cases, they are not old enough to become teachers upon graduation. They encounter difficulties all the way through the course because their fundamental training has not been extensive enough. Provision has been made to give pupils who come from towns where there is no high school special training at South Man. chester. As result of the new pro- vision it is probable that next years en- trance class will be considerably small CT than usual.
