TEACHER TRAINING AT THE
UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA

The university has received many
calls this summer for young men who
have taken the teachers course. These
calls were for men to fill some Of the
most important and prominent school
positions in this state. They carried
with them good salaries. from $500 to
$500 for the session. The boards Of
education and the county superintend-
ents in many Of the counties demand
men trained for their special profess
sion and they will employ none other.
Many Of the calls could not be filed by
the university for the demand was too
great. 1t sent out all it's students to
good places and few men to posi-
tions similar to those held by men
having from twelve to twenty years of
experience but without special normal
training.
This demand for trained teachers is
becoming so urgent and positive that
the time is not far distant when none
but professionally trained men can
secure the principalship Of any Of oul
good schools. Recognizing this, the
university has made every effort tc
meet this demand. In it's department
of education it is offering to students
the most modern and best instruction
for thoroughly equipping them to full
fill the requirements of this wide
awake age. The curriculum in thi:
department is equal in extent and
thoroughness to any in the university
and will well prepare young mer
properly to manage and teach any Of
our city schools. Besides this reg
ular four years course it is offering
e short course in education which will
prepare teachers to get the state Ger
tif1cate. The spring reviews TO

get their county certificate.

around another anchored boat off the

was about 2l minutes and a few sec
