The most recent and most important
addition that has been made to the
usefulness Of the College is the estab-
lishment Of scholarships to be given to
one man-teacher In each county who

intended TO offer the advantages of pro-
fesstonal training to one who has nj
ready gathered practical experience in
direct contact with pupils I'm the school
