SCHOOL FOR TEACHERS
One Phase of senator Stout's Work

MENOMoNIE, VISA school for the pur-
pose Of training teachers for manual train
ing and domestic science work will be es-
tablished here at the opening Of the school
year in September. This is merely one phase
of Senator Stout's educational ideas and is
brought forward by the new state law which
makes it optional with districts, to have In
structon in manual training and domestic
science in their public schools. The demand
for instructors in these practical branches OF
education is constantly growing and Senator
Stout sees in the new project chance to
supply the demand to some extent and also
to make the Menomonie annual training
school serve two ends, s3
full course of instruction will be provided
and it is thought i. will take two years to
complete the curriculum. This additional de-
partnent will also necessitate a~larger teach.
ing force in the manual training and domestic
science work, but the present apparatus is
complete and extensive enough Tor use In the
proposed plan. The scheme when In working
order will lessen materially the expense OF
operating manual training in the schools.
Various sections in these departments Will
be given over to the teacher students. thus
saving over $1,000 that is paid assistants In
these departments. So.
The management Of the new school will
be under the direction Of the city school sys-s
tom, as is all the manual training, kinder
garten and physical culture work.
The school is installed in response to the
popular demand throughout the state and
probably no other institution in Wisconsin
is so thoroughly equipped for training teach
ers in this work as the Stout manual train
ing school, .-....5s..t ( # I.
A new instructor in domestic science has
been secured from the east to take the place
Of Mrs. Idah Williams. but the boys de-
partment will remain under the same 1n-
structonal force as last year.
The board of education will soon Issue a
prospectus treating of the field of work to
be covered in the new school and the scope
of requirements for admission. It, Is expected
that studnts will be obliged to have a high
school education and the number Of students
! enrolled will doubtless be limited.
