story Teachers college building. One
half of this building has been planned
for and fitted up as a model high
school in which the students of the
Teachers college do their observation
and practice teaching. AT a recent
meeting of the colleges and universe
ties of the country il was the con-
sensus of opinion that the only way to
prepare teachers for the high schools
was by means of teachers colleges and
model high schools, and the various
colleges and universities of the coun-
try are making arrangements for them
as soon as possible. The University OF
North Dakota is one OF the first half
dozen institutions in the country to
open a model high school. The de-
mand on teachers colleges to fill high
school positions last year far exceeded
the number of its graduates.
Physical Training.
The university gymnasium with its
main floor 110x54 affords excellent
opportunities for physical training
Certain hours during the day the gym
nasium is given over to the young
women's exclusive use. The west end
OF the basement is given over to their
shower baths, toilet and locker roows
while those OF the young men are To-
Gated in the east end. At the west
and east ends of the gymnasium are
stairways leading directly to the
dressing rooms below. The young la
dies classes are in charge of Miss
Pike, while those of the young men
are under the direction Of DIR. Dunlap.
Faculty Advisors.
If there is any time in a young per-
sons life when they need help and
advice, 1t is during their college
course To meet this need, the univer-
sity of North Dakota some years ago
adopted the advisor system which has
found favor in many of the eastern
institutio rs. At the beginning of each
| school year, the student chooses as
! faculty advisor, that member of the
faculty who he feels can help him
most in planning and working out
his course and in solving his prob
lens. This advisor takes a personal
interest in his advisee, becomes ac-
quainted with him and becomes his
personal friend to whom he can take
any care or trouble.
