Judging by former percentages
there will be 500 students this winter
receiving instruction in an educational
plant designed, for less than 200.
How 1t Is Growing.
There is no denying the fact that
this institution has forged wonderfully
to the front in the last two years. This
Is most strikingly seen in the mat
ter of attendance. In 1900 there were
less than 100 present the second week;
in 19O3Sthere are over 200.
In 1900 the total attendance was
ITO; in 1902 it was 3O2, and this year
it bids fair to be 400, exclusive OF the
model school or summer school.
In 1900 there were twelve members
of the instructional force; IN l9Oa
there are sixteen, many of whom have
higher. degrees from the best uniyer-
stiles. II .5 I.zl.iss
In 1900 the mode school had sixty
pupils and offered five gfadessof pub
lie school work. In 1903 this school
has 103 pupils doing the full eight
grades work of the best city schools.
In 1900 there was one critic teacher
and supervisor for the model
school; in 1903 there are four critics.
including the supervisor.
In 1900 the graduating class NUM-
bered 10; in 1903 it numbers thirty
six.
In a large way these figures show
that the school has accomplished the
rather remarkable achievement OF in
creasing it's attendance 100 per cent
In two years, and the number OF Its
graduates 200 per cent. 81

A Year of Graduate Work.

A Year of Graduate Work.
Another step fraught with great
possibilities to the futures: work of
the school is the recent establishment
by the board of management of one
year Of graduate work, designed to
prepare teacherssfor high school posi-
tions and principalships. The person.
mel of the faculty has enabled the
school to thus put itself almost, at
the beginning of it's career in the ad-
vanced position which many of the
older normal schools have struggled
to former prevailing opinion there
seems now to be no good reason why
normal schools should not give their
students as deep scho larship as their
circumstances will allow, since the
work in methods and practice has a
better foundation when deep and
general scholarship forms its base. :,
College graduates have already be-
gun to apply for the professional

normal schools, and "a glance at the
