ton state normal school of this city will
open September 9th.
The faculty will meet on Saturday

for the coming semester. On Monday
at . Il. m. the entrance examinations
will begin for those who apply for adj
mission without credentials.
Tuesday September Sth is registra-
ton day. The office will be open ut 9
a. m. Last year "a names were regis
tered on the first day. This exceeded
all former registrations and is the re-
cord to be broken this year? 1t is est-
mated and expected that this number
will be exceeded. If Ellensburg AMI
Klttitas county will furnish Il fair quota
there will be l0) names entered upon
the registration book on Tuesday Sep
tember Sth Students will be admitted
this year upon the same credentials as
heretofore. The courses as revised by
the Board of Higher Education and
advanced will go into effect gradually
so that those who have been admitted
will not find new work or additional
requirements placed before them.
Special and fuller provision has been
made for review classes to provide OPP
portunity for mastering the fundament-
al branches
The training school will open Mon
day September l4th. All of the grades
from the kindergarten through the
ninth will be maintained. 1t is proba
BILE that pupils who have formerly at
tended the training school will fill most
of the grades and occupy the limited
room which can be spared the training
department, and these will have frs
right to their places provided they re
port on the morning of opening.
In some grades, however, there will
be room for few new pupils. Parents
who wish to send children to the train
ing school should send to the principal
at the normal school through mail or
otherwise the name and age of each
child and should state what school and
grade the child last attended and
whether he was promoted. AT the
opening of the school each pupil is re-
qured to pay 81 which will be used to
purchase drawing, writing and other
materials to be used in the school work
1t must be understood that in a train
ing school the children are under the
Instructions of various teachers, some
of whom are without previous expert
ence and untested. 1t must not be eX-
pected that all of the teaching and
governing will be good, much of it will
be exceptionally good and on the aver
age it will be good.
The practice work is so arranged
that usually only four different student
teachers teach in the same grade du
ring quarter, and two of these are
members Of the senior class and have
taught acceptably before.
BY arrangements with the publ c
school of the city, transfers will be
given at the end of any quarter to those
who request them. Except for very
important reasons transfers will not be
given at other times. Those who enter
the training school should expect tt
remain through ten weeks at least
