FIRST days work
A faculty Of twenty three members

souri; and Florence Julia Uglow, Latin

Colorado. These instructors, together
with the fourteen former teachers, offer
courses dealing with a wide range of
subjects from which students may elect,
within certain restrictions of required
courses, the work in which they particu-
larly desire to specialize.
The plan for the work in the fine arts
which has proved so satisfactory will be
continued Briefly stated this plan has
for its object the discovery and de-
velopment of talent. In the accomplish
ment of this object, all the work in art,
music. and public speaking is given with
out any additional charge. This means
that any student of the school may. up
on the payment of the fee of So 80 for
the twelve weeks, take individual work
in plane, voice, violin. dramatic art, or
painting and water colors without any
additional expense for instruction. The
one fee entities the student TO ali the
privileges of the school.
Elaborate plans have been made for
those who wish to specialize in household
science and art. manual training and
mechanical drawing, physical training,
and business training, which includes
both stenography and typewriting, and
bookkeeping and office practice. Per-
haps the most important feature of the
work for the new year is the addition
of purely academic courses in history,
English, and science. This has been
done to counteract a tendency in normal
schools to be top heavy on the profession
al side. We do not discount the training
in education, sociology, and psychology,
but we do believe that without a
thorough grounding in academic sub
jeets. these mey prove to be but thin
veneer.
For the first time reviews in the fun
damental subjects of grammar, arith-
metic, history, and geography are com
pulsory unless the student can test them.
Spelling will, of course, be required
again of all who cannot pass a test of
one hundred words with grade of al
least ninety per cent.
Our wstchword is still Efficiency.
We define education as the open road to
efficiency. We hold before US these
two notices of efficiency: L. The
world wants people who can do things,
not those who can give even a good
excuse for not doing them. 2. Ev-
erything is past due the moment IT is
called for. We regard the c. 5. n. 5.
as -R-T-U-NI-T-G written
large, and hold that this is the reason for
its existence.
Very truly yours.
