NEW TEACHERS COURSE
State University Provides More
Training for High School
Teachers,

Provision for i course for the train
ing of teachers, principals and super
intendents at the University of Wis
consin has been made by the regents
upon recommendation of the university
faculty. The new course, which ex-
tends over four years, and is to be
required of all students desiring teach
ers' certificates, includes work in
education, Psychology, and profess
iOnal training in the subjects which
the students are preparing to teach in
high school. Arrangements were also
made for an advanced course open to
graduates who have completed the
regular four years of academic work.
A director to supervise the training o
teachers and additional, instructors to
take charge of departmental teachers
courses were also provided by the
regents.
Teachers courses are to be develop
ed in all departments the subjects of
which are taught in the high school,
and especially qualified instructors
are to be chosen to conduct this work.
Students in this course are required to
select major, subject which they de-
sire to teach, or major and one or
two minor subjects, ia all of which
they must prepare themselves
thoroug hly. Observation of teaching
in the high school is to form an i'm
portant part of the teachers courses.
All students preparing to teach will be
required to enter the new course for
the training of teachers.
Arrangements were also made for
an advanced training course. This
second course is designed to furnish
additional professional training to
graduates of the university and in
stitutions of similar rank. At present
the special advanced work may be
pursued during two summer sessions
as the equivalent of one semester of
graduate study. 1t is expected that
this will lead eventually to the plac-
ing of professional study in prepara-
ton for teaching and for the super
vision of schools upon a definite
graduate basis requiring five years
for it's completion. The advanced
course is designed for the training of
school superintendent as we'll as high
school teachers, and includes observa-
tion of teaching, inspection of schools,
and practice teaching. A special GER
tifcate is to be granted upon the sue
cessful completion of the advanced
teachers training course.
The administration OF the new course
is to be in charge of director to be
appointed before the end of the pres
ent academic year, and an administra-
tive committee consisting of members
of the faculty representing the depart
ments the subjects of which are taught
in the high school. In addition to the
present corps two more instructors
are to be appointed for next year to
take charge of departmental teachers
course.

High Price for Cows.

Darlington Democrat: r. A. Ten
ney's cows sold the other day at $4S
on the average. Add $40 to this
price on the cost of keeping them
until May 10, when grass comes, and
the sum is but little short of 500.
This seems high price for COWS, but
farmers have been steadily pushing
up the price of COWS for some years.
Mr.. Tenney's cows were good ones,
and the purchasers will make money.
