ANNUAL CATALOGUE
 OF TEMPE NORMAL NOW BEING SENT BROADCAST OVER THE LAND. Containing Much that is of Interest to the Public, But of Special Interest to Prospective.
 Student.

For the past several days the Tempe postoffice has been almost swamped with hundreds of copies of the Twenty-fourth Annual Normal catalogues for the school year 1909-10 that are now being distributed throughout the country to prospective students and others who may be in- terested in the principal educational institution of the territory.
 This years catalogue differs little from previous issues; the first few pages are given over to the table of contents, the personnel of the Terri torial Board of Education, the Terri torial board of Examiners, the Nor maj Board of Education, the Official Board of Visitors, the officers of the Alumni Association, the Faculty for the ensuing year and the calendar for 1909-1O.
 Then follows the course of study and it's analysis. The following in troduction to the analysis will be of general interest.
 The fact that the primary aim of a Normal school is the training of teachers is made prominent through out the course. In each department the teacher not only presents the lesson to his class but discusses with the students the method of presenta- ton and requires them to note his plan of work in all parts of the subject Thus the teaching idea is pre-eminent in the minds of all Nor nal students from the beginning of the course. and they are able to model their own work as teachers upon what they have seen as well as upon that which they study in text. books on theory.
 The relation between the profess sional and academic work is main tained during the Senior year by the pupil teachers consulting frequently with such members of the Normal school faculty as have charge of the subject they are teaching in the Training school
 The members of the Normal school faculty are also expected to prepare outlines of work, special lessons and lectures pertaining to the methods of teaching their special subjects and present the same to the senior class, they may also be required to teach certain subjects in the Training school This work, both as to time of presentation and subject matter, to be indicated by the director of the Training school
 The relation is further maintained by the members of the Normal school faculty visiting the pupil teachers, while they are teaching the sub- jects pertaining to their department, and offering such criticisms or sug- gestions az may be helpful to them.
 By such methods the professional side of the work is emphasized and correlated with the academic work throughout the entire course, the stu dents are thoroughly prepared for teaching, and the special object of the Normal school accomplished.
 Considerable space is devoted to general information regarding the in- stitution, such as location. design, the campus, buildings, expenses, admis- sion, etc.
 Following that comes the registra- tiOn of the past year. The summary of registration shows in the normal department of the school, 251 stu dents; in the training department, 172; making a total registration of 42S The Alumni register occupies eight pages and it is rather interest ing to glance over it's. columns and note the many people who are well known throughout the territory who have graduated from the normal. According to the register the total number of graduates including the last class, is 369.
 The last twenty-twO pages of the catalogue is devoted exclusively to views of the buildings, grounds, athletic scenes and other features of the normal. The Catalogue will be sent free to any one upon applica- tion to the president of the school, A. J. Matthews.
