Admission to state Normal School

Admission to State Normal School.
In order to articulate more closely.
with the system of high schools of
the state, the course of study of the
Louisiana State Normal School at
Natchitoches has been modified. As
a result of this change, students who
enter the Normal from any approved
high school are not required to take
over any. subject in which they have
already earned high school credits.
The revised normal course also
makes it possible to admit students
from approved high schools on the
certificates of their principals.
The requirements for admission to
the Normal School have been raised
twice during the last wear and a
half, SO that completion of the
equivalent of the first high school
year is now required to enter the la
or first class. Students from gram
mar schools or who have completed
only the seventh grade of a graded
school are not admitted into the
normal department. Such pupils may
enter the model school, but the au-
thorities of the State Normal School
do not advise such course.
