Colorado State Normal.
The first year of the Colorado State
Normal school was passed in the
Unitarian church, with meageI at
tendance. But that was the year
lS9O-9l. and the citizens Of Colorado
hardly knew that such an institution
existed, while not one In twenty in
the state realized the Importance OF
such a school. The first class that
was graduated numbered twelve, and
the classes for the succeeding years
showed a gradual numerical increase
as follows: 1892, sixteen; 1893, twen-
ty-three: 1894, thirty-tive 1895,
thirty-two; 1896, thirty-one; 1897,
four: 1898, hfty-eight; 1899,
seventy; 1900, seventy; 1901. sixty
nine; 1902, seventy.four 1908, eighty
two: 1901, eighty.seven; a total OF 7O3.
The past year showed the largest
attendance, as we'll as the strongest
graduating class. There we're six post
graduates, four females and two
males: the senior class numbered
eighty-seven, females seventy eight, &,
males nine: the junior class was l6l
strong, las females and sixteen
males; the sophomore class numbered
II, females sixteen and one male.
1hen there were special studies in
which thirteen females and three
males took past. In the training
school, the attendance was divided
as follows: High school department,
eleventh grade, Al pupils; tenth
grade, 40; ninth grade, As. The
grammar department had 35 in the
eighth grade;25 in the seventh grade
26 in the sixth grade, and % in the
fifth grade.
In tie primary department there
were 2s in the fourth grade, % il
the third grade, 20 in the second
grade, and 20 in the first grade Ir
the kindergarten department there
were 66. Add to the foregoing IA
summer school students and the tota
is 9lS. But as ~ pupils have beer
counted twice in the general sum
mary, the real total is $50, and tn,
alumni is 703, fine showing for
far western state that has been il
the Union but twenty eight years
and its population not yet $4,000.
Teachers who have taken a Nor
NAL course are in great demand Ii
fact, the supply has never beer
sufficient the past five years to FL
requirements. This Institution ha

cellent training school with an at
tendance OF 45O Here is where tn,
