self. and taught by its own special
faculty Of sixteen teachers, but I'M
der certain conditions, students OF
the Normal may elect courses in
either the Vocational Schools, the
Academy or the College.
The Library Of nearly 10000 vol
umes contains among its books
1900 well-chosen volumes on Psy-
chology and Education.
Berea Normal School is one OF the
schools accredited by the Kentucky
University. and so the work done
in the Normal School will be &C
cepted by the standard colleges OF
the middle west for entrance the
same as if done in other standard
high schools and academies.
Berea Normal School offers TO its
students the opportunity Of prac-
tice teaching under supervision in
the Training School on its own
campus. BY arrangement with two
school districts, il is possible for
its student TO observe the work OF
specially trained teachers in charge
Of one-teacher rural schools. Stu
dents may do their practice teach
ing in these schools, and so prepare
themselves under these unusual
opportunities for teaching in the
one-teacher school.
Berea Normal continues its ar
rangement with these district
schools at considerable cost, because
il is confident that we learn 10 do
by doing. This is in accordance
with the plan Of the United States
Government. We find the Govern
ment giving its selected men spe-
cial training for the special work
TO which they are assigned. The
young man or woman who wishes
TO teach a district school will re-
ceive at Berea that special training
that is necessary TO fit him 10 take
such a place.
The cost Of living at Berea is I'M
usually low.
Our dormitories are kept in ex-
rellent condition. The rooms in
the dOrmitories are furnished with
all necessary articles. Bedding is
supplied, and each Monday morn
ing there is a fresh supply Of newly
laundered towels, pillow cases and
sheets given 10 each student. The
charge for these rooms with all
furnishings is from SOC 10 COO per
week.
Our board is furnished from newly
equipped ard scientifically managed
kitchens at a very low cost TO the
student.
Students may earn at least one
third of their school expenses by
doing labor for the school.
At the present time there is no
work which will be OF greater
service TO the country than that OF
teaching school. For the sake Of
the years 10 follow the war, our
schools must be kept open. and the
teachers must be more efficient than
ever before.
Young men and women. il you are
patriotic and desire 10 show your
loyalty and patriotism, enlist in the
service Of the Government as a
teacher, and prepare yourself for
that work that you may do il in
the best way possible. Your pre-
paration can be secured only in a
Normal School.
Young men and women desiring 20

School should write Secretary
Vaughn. who will be glad 20 furnish
