TRAINING
CLASSES
ALL YEAR
INNOVATION PLANNED BY THE
STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE
If PLAN MEETS WITH AP-
PROVAL OF PARENTS

An innovation is being planned
at the Teachers college in the hold
ing of the children's classes of the
training school during the summer
term. Blanks with questions in re-
gard to the subject were sent to
the parents of the children of the
training school Wednesday to de-
termine their views and it is
thought that the majority will be
favor of the idea. There will be
little indoors study for the children
as the work will consist largely OF
play ground work and agricultural
and nature study. 1t is said tina,
many of the interested citizens are
pleased with the plan and prefer tc
have their children entertained and
instructed on directed play grounC
than left to amuse themselves dur
ing the entire summer.
Another advantage OIL the sum
mer classes for the children will be
for the students of the summer
term giving them an opportunity tt
get practical experience in teach
ing, along with their other work
Another question which was put t.
the parents OF the training schoo
children Wednesday was whether o
not they would like to see German
! instituted in the grades. 1t is salt
that there has been strong desir
expressed to have German taugh
before the children reach the higl
school. The action taken in thi
matter will depend on the wishes G
the majority of the parents.
