PUPILS WHO DESIRE TO ENTER
TRAINING SCHOOL AT THE
STATE UNIVERSITY.
Principal Brown and Supervisor Ruth
Adsit Ready to Organize the
Glasses in the First Three Grades
Of the Common SchooIs-Some Of
the Requirements.
BY DR.. John Franklin Brown.

BY DR.. John Brown.
The pupils of the university primary
training school will meet for enroll
ment Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock.
Glasses will be formed in the first, Sec
n and third grades.
Admission.
An enrolment fee of $3.50 is charg-
ed each pupil. Books n materials
for hand work are furnished pupils
without expense. A pupil must give
satisfactory evidence that he is fully
prepared to do the work of the grade
for which he makes application. The
standard is high and unless he is rea
dy for the work, he becomes discour-
aged and disheartened and soon loses
sist upon <the conscientious perform
ance of tasks. The children are train
ed to work independently and the pro.
duction of accurate results is empha-
sized.
A Mistaken Impression.
An impression seems to have gone
abroad that only exceptionally bright
children are admitted to the training
school. This impression is wholly mis-
taken. The basis of admission is the
same as that required for admission to
the public schools. Children who are
naturally slow to learn are given spec
ial attention.
We try in every way to avoid having
the child fail in his work, and because
of this individual attention the child
who does poor work is an exception
Arrangement Of Glasses.
We aim to avoid the evils arising on
the one hand from classes that are too
small, and on the other from such as
are too large. Glasses of from fifteen
to twenty seem to offer the happy me-
dunn. The aim is to meet as best we
can the needs of each Individual, and
the class system and all other devices
are means to that end.
Hours Of Attendance.
The hours of attendance in the first
grade are from 8 a. m. to IL a. M;
from 1870 p. m. to 8 p. m. In the sec
ond and third grades, from 9 a. m. to
11:30 a M; from 1870 p. m. to 3 p. m
Reports.
A report of the work is sent to the
parents three times during the year.
In cases where it is deemed necessary,
this report is tent weekly. In answer
to these reports, we will welcome let
tiers from parents reporting the pro-
gress as seen from the home side, or
raising problems that need special
consideration.
