NAL who labored increasingly in the
arrangement and preparation OF the

The Rev Norman Skinner delivered
the invocation, which was eloquent
and impressive. President Vert made
the following statement of the work
of the institution.
The Normal university has offered
the past year two distinct lines of in
struction, namely: First, all instruc-
tion comprised in the first twelve
years of public school work including
the eight grades and the high. school
Secondly, technical instruction in the
theory and art of teaching.
This instruction is carried out in
the following courses and depart
ments:
The advanced normal course is de-
signed to meet the needs of those who
wish TO teach In the best graded
schools. It comprises five years OF
work above what is known as the
grades in the public schools. Three
years Of the courseNare given to those
branches of mathematics, natural
science, history, civics, language and
literature which constitute the foun-
dation of the technical instruction.
and two years are devoted to the pro-
fessional studies and practice in teach
ing under the direction Of critic teach
ers. The technical instruction con-
sists of psychology, general pedagogy,

school. To meet the needs Of such
persons the normal university offers
the academic course. II Is q composite
from this course entities the holder of
a territorial certificate, which Is prac-
tically a life certificate to teach in
New Mexico. Since this course Is
more extended than those offered in
most normal schools, there is reason
to think that diploma from it will
be endorsed as state certificate in
most states.
The elementary normal course com.
prises all branches required for a first
grade county certificate, but under
the present school law diploma from
this course does not entitle the holder
10 a certificate to teach without an
examination by the county board OF
examiners.
Last year the total number of
graduates from all the high schools
in New Mexico was twelve and for the
school year ending the present month,
the number does not exceed twenty,

The enrolment Of the Normal uni
versity for the year ending on this
date was a0a. OF this number G6 were
in the training school and 1876 in the
upper departments. These students
came from thirteen different counties.
In view of the apparent demand
upon this institution for instruction in
business branches the board Of re-
gents has decided TO institute at the
beginning of the next school year a
business department in which instruc-
tion will be given in stenOgraphy, type
writing, bookkeeping and other com
mercial branches.
Moreover, believing that an insti-
tuition of this kind should stand not
alone for knowledge, business and
thrift, but also for broader culture,
lit has likewise been decided to in.
stitute in September a department of
music.
The course in vocal music will in
clude theory of music, sight reading,
history of music, ear training, inter
probation, voice culture and chorus.
The course in instrumental music
will embrace instruction in piano
violin and other stringed instruments
accompanying, ensemble, playing, and
elementary harmony.
An opportunity will be given stu
dents TO come before the public in
solo, chorus and orchestra work.
In these new departments the same
principles of management will be
adopted as have hitherto obtained in
the other departments. The aim will
be to make all instruction thorough

now on he will pay more attention to

His choice for the position places any
connection with the subway syndicate

The course in the A junior depart

will continue to meet the needs of a
not inconsiderable number of young
men and women.
1t is a basic principle in juris-
prudence that state institutions should
undertake that which local institu-
tions cannot do. Though several cities
of New Mexico offer good school ad-
vantages in large rural sections, as
well as in many villages and towns
! the educational situation is not favor
able. In some, no educational advan-
tages whatever are offered. in others,
elementary instruction Of an indiffer-
ent sort is given. In but few is more
than the rudiments of an education
offered, yet in most of these places
there are boys and girls, young men
and young women who appreciate the
advantages of an education and are
anxious to secure the same II the
proper opportunities are afforded. Be-
