Tie chief function Of the school is
to train teachers. With this thought
in mind the president Of the instita-
ton, together with the committee Of
the trustees, selected faculty of ten
persons, each Of whom had special
training and ability in the depart
ment Of work for which he or she
was chosen. While holding that
there must be classical training, this
Committee on selection of teachers
was imbued with the importance of
the practical subjects. Manual
training, domestic science, COM
mercial subjects and art were placed
in the curriculum.
No attempt wss made to influence
students to take work in these de-
partments, yet out Of an enrolment
of one hundred and twenty, fifty
have elected manual training and
fifteen others have asked 10 be
allowed TO take the work next term.
Fifty-four are nov taking the domes
tic science courses, with . number
on the waiting het, twenty-five are
studying commercial subjects and
thirty. four are working in the art
classes. In spesking thus Of these
departments. it 10 not TO be inferred
that the otbefs are neglected or not
emphasized. The policy Of the
school and the aim of the faculty 10
10 graduate well-rounded teachers
~ho will have doe regard for valves
and perspective in ell lines Of hsman
sctiv ities.
