OUR PURPOSE
We realize that the first duty of til.
| normal school is to work in the interest
| OF the public schools. This purpose is
therefore the determining factor III re
gard to the type of instruction Offered
and the nature and amount of the subject
matter presented. To be useful in the
public schools, teachers must have accu
rate knowledge SO far as the subiec,
matter is concerned and they must have
practical knowledge of how to teach.
With the enlarged crops of instructors in
the training school as we'll as in the
academic department the students will
have excellent opportunities to prepare
themselves for the profession of teaching.
The same arrangement provides ample
oppor unity for the supervision of the
work done by each student. Students
must therefore prove themselves possessed
of adequate culture and educational
attainment before being granted either
the certificates or the diploma from this
snstitution.
We trust, therefore, that every student
will come with we'll defined purpose
and determination to do something
definite. The members of the faculty
will do all in their power to make the
work both attractive and genuinely help
full.
