Any one interested may obtain
copy by addressing the Principal of
the school. The catalog shows sew
eral innovations which will go in
to effect this coming school year.
One of them is the introduction of
course to show teachers how to
prepare a warm dish for the noon
day lunch in the rural school. Quite
La number of schools in this county
serve such lunch now. Every edu-
Gator recognizes it's value To equip
our graduates more fully for the
work of teaching rural school Miss
Bradley has been engaged to teach
this course during the fourth quar-
ter of the year.
Another innovation is the engag-
ing of an additional instructor.
There are many eighth grade grad
yates from the rural schools of the
county who do not care to fit them
selves for teaching, but who desire
more training, especially along agri-
cultural lines. This applies espec-
tally to boys. A course has been
arranged which requires a year for
completion This course can be ta-
ken either by those eighth grade
graduates who do not wish to teach,
Or it may be used as an introduc-
tory course to the teachers courses
which the new qualification law re-
quires of prospective teachers.
Last year quite number of par
ents were disappointed because there
was no room for their children in
the Model school, either because
there were no grades into which
these children would fit, or because
they waited too long before they
filed their names for admission. To
avoid the latter, it is urged that you
notify the Principal of the school at
once, if you wish your children to
attend the Model school, To satisfy
the demands for more grades, ar
rangements have been made to Or
ganize the first seven grades, pro-
vided enough apply for admission.
About three-fOurths of the capacity
of the room is already filled. The
Model school opens a week later
than the Training school; namely,
Sept. 3rd. Miss Abbie G. Hawes,
teacher of much experience, is to
be- in charge.
The question has been asked
whether students may enter at any
time. Yes, they may, but the divis-
ion of the school year into four
quarters makes it advisable for
them to enter at the beginning of
one of those four periods. The first
quarter of the year is naturally the
best time to enter, as that will
make it possible for teachers to be
ready for service at the beginning
of the next school year.
Another question asked is that of
expense. There is no tuition charge.
Books are rented to the students OF
the Training school on the payment
of a small fee, and are entirely free
to pupils of the Model school.
There is call for places where
students may work for their board;
also call for rooms suitable for light
housekeeping. The Principal will be
glad to obtain addresses of such
places.
There are several men teaching
successfully in the county at good
wages, and there is persistent de-
mand for more The Training school
would be glad to enroll young men
for such service. There being
strong agricultural department in the
school, young men are sure to get
good positions from the start. They
will be equipped after years ex-
perience to become principals of the
graded schools having two depart
