Training School Opens July 3.

The Rock County Training school will
start it's work at the high school, James,
vile, on July Sd. From seveny-five to
one hundred students are expected to
take the course. This is to be the sum-
mer term and it will last for six weeks.
The first part of the term will be held
at the high school, but as soon as the,
Jefferson school is remodeled, the train
ing school will be moved to that build
ing. Van Pool Brothers are working
in the building now and the work is
being rushed so that it will be ready for
use the latter part of August.
The school is to be run by the county
and is under the supervision of county
training school board. The state will
pay two-thirds of the running expenses
providing they do not exceed $3.50.
The student who lives outside the
county and attends the school must pay
tuition and this will also be added to
the fund to help running expenses.
Whatever expenses are not met IN
either of these two ways must be paid
by the county.
The summer term will last six weeks
while the regular term will be ten
months and will start on August 28,
1911, and end on June IA, 1872. The
training school board gives three dis
tinct reasons for starting this school.
First to improve the qualifications OF
our rural teachers; second to avoid pay
ing about $500 annually as tuition to
train the teachers of Rock county;
third because it is the plain duty OF a
prosperous county like Rock to do so,
especially when the state will pay two
thirds of it's running expenses.
Now that the school is organized it
has a five-fold aim. To give thorough
instruction to the elementary branches,
to train the student how to teach these
branches, to give instruction and train
ing in the management of a school, to
cause the prospective teacher to be-
come imbued with the true teaching
spirit, and to show that high character
in the teacher is an absolute essential.

was Smith, therefore, who passed

has been brought about because.

became bitterly opposed to the gov

the mere statement of being the or

The fact that this license raj for
