FACULTY ADVISERS At
VALLEY CITY NORMAL

VALLEY CITY, n. D., Oct. 9.-Reg'
islration at the Valley City State Nor
NAL school for the fall term shows
{: healthy increase over former at.
tendance. The process OF enrolment
WAS carried out more successfully
than ever before, under the improved
faculty advisory system. With TINS
;.rrangement, each instructor is as
signed a group of students who report
TO him for individual consultation
with regard to their program OF
studies. The relation of the adVls-
or to his students does not end mere.
however: it continues throughout the
students connection with the lnst-
tuition during which period the ad.
wiser acts as guide. philosopher and
friend" in all circumstances where
such service is desirable. In some In
stances this relationship hos been DE-
veloped to the most important degree
end the success of the system has
been demonstrated beyond question.
The normal school believes that the
obligation of teacher to pupil EXTENDS
much farther than the mere lmpart'
ing of class room instruction; hence
the advisory idea as it is at present
in operation.
