The Training school department of
the State Normal school opened Sept.
with a larger attendance than ever
at this season of the year. Professor

| turned to the city from his vacation
in New York state Monday morning.
(; All the critic teachers and their a..
slstants including the kindergartener
were present and ready for work the
first morning. The children have en-.
tered on their work with interest and
enthusiasm. Quite a number have
sent word that they will not be able
10 enter until next week when it is ex-
pected the attendance will be consider
ably increased.
The ninth grade has been added
this year. This is the first time so
1ar as we know that Junior high
school has been offered in connection
with the Normal school. The seventh
and eighth grades together with the
ninth are consolidated under the. gen
eral management of Prof. Ralph NJ
Hogan who arrived from Missouri last
week to take charge of this important
work. Many of the Normal school
graduates are called upon to teach in
the Junior high school. 1t therefore
seemed appropriate to the manage.
ment that practice teaching in thu,
department should be offered. Half
OF the studies in the ninth grade are
required and are in line with the u.s.
ual studies offered in the first year
of high school. The students are Civ
