necessary opportunity for general edu-
cation which very many young people
of New Mexico need and are unable to
secure elsewhere, as a preparation for
entrance upon normal school, technical
school, college or university courses,
or as a general preparation for life for
those who will get no higher education.
The requirements for admission are
fulfilled by a good elementary school
preparation which includes the branch

the sixth grade in public schools. The
academic curse will furnish adequate
preparation for entrance upon the pro-

or for entrance to the A. b., Phi. B. and
b. S. courses in all American universe
ties.
