NORMAL TRAINING DEPARTMENT.
Encouraging Results from The first Years
Course in This City.

At the beginning of the present
school year was organized a depart
ment designed to train a limited
number of young people for teach
ing in the rural schools. This was
made possible by the appropriation
of $3.50 by the legislature to any
high school that would maintain
such department. The minimum
number OF students to take this work
was placed at eight in order that
the appropriation would be given
to school. The high school inspec.
tor, Mr.. Alton, made the statement
that ten students is the ideal num-
Der. The department in the Red
wood Falls schools consist of nine
students.
The work in this department con-
sists of thorough review Of the
common branches, together with
practice teaching. English and AM
erican Literature, Civics, and Physi-
ology. As our students all belong
to the graduating clss they had 9TH
er studies to complete to give them
the proper number of credits for
graduating.
The teaching work during the first
semester was done in the different
grades under the direction of the
regular teachers. At the beginning
of the second semester was organ
lied a model school. To this model
school were assigned pupils who
were not keeping up with their work
in their grade. By this means a
great deal Of Individual work is pos
sible for these pupils. The pupils
remain in the model school from Zoo
to $40 o'clock. The pupils do no
advanced work in this department
but simply receive more drill in the
work they are doing in their own
grade rooms. 1t is hoped that by
this means some pupils may make
their grade who otherwise could not
do so. 1t is individual work that
counts in any school and the more
such help the pupils may receive the
better they can do their work. Some
pupilscannot graspdificult problems
with the regular amount Of work
they receive, and the teacher who
has from thirty to forty pupils can

power of which can be relied upon.
Seedsmen and farmers are having
the same experience.
It becomes. every farmer, then,
who expects fair crop of corn next
fall. to exercise unusual care in the
testing of his seed. He should not
only select the most promising ears.
but should test it ear by ear. He
will very probably be surprised at
the number of ears he will have to
reject as nongerminating. He may
even find that he cannot, from his
own selected ears, get a sufficiency
of reliable seed. But there should
be no foolish risking it, in planting
without testing. Better undergo a
large amount of trouble and save
much expense. than invite failure Of
the crop by planting at venture.

cies as this that the "new farming"
proves its superiority to the old.

more polished addresses were made

has been tried. He is familiar with
the way it works. 1t is his firm con-
viction that if local restrictive laws
of Georgia were not "nullified" in
part by the liquor licenses granted
by the federal government they would
be effective in completely banishing

fc the legislature has outlawed.
