.TEACHER.T TRAINING
HERE IN LEXINGTON
A Glass Of Sixteen Received In
structiOn Last Year.

The educational courses given
IN the normal schools or col
ileges have scarcely met the de
mands for supplying vacancies in
the grades or high schools, and a
very large per cent of the rural
teachers have taken up their
work without any preparation
that would give them an ade-
quate knowledge of the needs
of the rural community. To sup
ply this lack of training for rural
work, teacher training courses
have been established in the
first-class high schools of our
state, and training in method of
teaching, in school organization,
in subject matter, and in Obser-
vation and practice teaching is
given.
The Juniors OF the high school
are eligible to the reviews
course, which presents work in
reading, language and grammar,
geography and arithmetic. Only
Seniors are eligible to the
method and pedagogy courses.
The theory of teaching is taught
in the method work, while pro-
vision is also made to secure the
actual carrying out of the abb
Stract ideas in the observation
of classes taught by the grade
teachers and in experience in
practice teaching. The first
? half year of the pedagogy work
affords courses in psychology an
in physiology and hygiene; th'
second half year gives a very
, practical presentation of tn,
problems of school management

, given by the state superintend

time, the teacher has taught sue

A class of sixteen have pur

High School with very satisfac
tory results during the past year
twelve of whom have carried tn
three normal classes. Enoug
signatures have been secured fO
the courses for next year, and
