Expected to BE Banner Year
of the School; Two
Courses Have Been
Added

TEMPE, Aug. 31:-The next term
OF the State Normal school at Tempe
will begin September ., and according
TO present indications, il will be the
banner year in its history. not only
in attendance but also in the number
and excellence of the courses afford
ed While students are admitted ut
any time, il is always a great adj
vantage to register at the beginning
OF the term
In addition to the courses formerly
offered a tive years course in Ger
man and a two years course In ele-
mentary agriculture have been added
TO the curriculum. The course IN
agriculture is to be made as practi-
cal as possible The normal has just
secured possession of sufficient lands
for demonstration and investigation
in field work The present labora-
tories and the special laboratories 20
be equipped for the department, to-
gether with the natural advantages
OF soil, climate, and the water facili-
ties Of the incompatible Salt River
valley, are the important factors that
will contribute to the successful ope-
ration of such a course. II will be the
aim to make the course complete and
practical in itself and at the same
time to correlate with the course IN
the agricultural department of the
University Of Arizona.
The normal offers superior advan-
tages for preparation for teaching,
and the new state laws regarding ap-
preparations for school purposes are
so favorable that more young people,
especially young women, should be
irduced to prepare for this work I'm
der the new law, all country schools
draw at least $1,000 per year, which
will enable them TO employ good
teachers. pay as high salaries, and
maintain school for as long a term
as the best city schools. Nearly all
the graduating class of 1912, number
ing fourty-foUr, have been employed
for the ensuing year at salaries rang
ing from SO to $Ii0 per month for
nine months.
High school graduates should be
particularly interested in the normal
course. which they can complete in
two years. thereby securing a diploma
which entities them 10 teach for life
in the public schools OF Arizona, and
the Union without examination. II
also secures for them credit from
year to a year and half in the best
universities so that in taking the
course but little time is lost on uni
versity or college course.
An academic course, which does
not lead to a teachers diploma, is Of
fered for the accommodation of stu
dents who are not conveniently near
an established high school. IL cor
RESPONDS TO the regular high school
course and may be completed in four
years by graduates OF the grammer
school. Diplomas from this course
admit students TO the freshman year
of a college or university.
The dormitories provide excellent
homes for the normal students at rea-
sonahle prices. They have just been
renovated and repaired
and are really in better condition
than when new. Screen sleeping
porches have been built, providing,
without extra expense. Tor all who
