UTAH SCHOOL STANDS HIGH.


The Utah state normal school enters
this year upon a new epoch in its his
tory and now stands on par with
such celebrated training institutions as
the University of Columbia and the
School of Education of the University
of Chicago. in the expression Of q
faculty member made this morning.
Entrance requirements have been In
creased so that now q four years
course in accredited high schools is o
prerequisite to entrance. This has
caused the registration this year to
fall short of what 1t has been in the
past, but with the smaller classes,
there Is amplitied opportunity to give
better attention to the normal student.
The somewhat opercrowdedt conditions
in the past have worked slightly against
this and required great effortsson the
part OF instructors. The work in this
school leads to the degree OF doctor OF
arts and bachelor Of science In educa.
ton. With Prof. Joseph Mcknight
back as supervisor OF training, the
faculty of the school Is greatly
strengthened He was absent last
year through illness.
