THE MODEL SCHOOLS

Many who read the catalog and
ether literature Of Derea College do
not understand just what the ne
iartment called Model Schools" IS.
This article aims TO explain what
work these schools do and the ad-
yantages they offer to young people.
They form a system OF graded schools
giving all the work of eight grades
below the Academy and Normal.
They have the advantages OF but
one grade in a room, so that all the
pupils in a room are reciting .he
same branches and the teacher has
time t. help each student with all
his difficulties. All the common
branches are taught including Physi-
ology, Civil Government and Kentuc-
ky History. Many young people pre-
rare for teaching In the 9TH or eth
grades Of the Model Schools. some
of them making first class teachers

grades under first class teachers pre-
pare them TO make good teachers

Of illustrative material, such as; maps

and make the Model Schools a most
desirable place to study. With our
cheap rates. with the opportunity we
offer students Of work for a part OF
their expenses, no young person in
reach Of Berea should be without an
education. A few years spent in a
school Of this kind is the very best
investment one can make OF his
time and energy. No young person
can afford TO do without an educa-
