TEMPE NORMAL SCHOOL
 ADDS VOCATIONAL TRAINING

One of the most far-reaching ef-
 fects of the great War, is the open
 ing of the eyes of the peoples and
 governments to the vital need of more
 and better education of the youth. To
 quote Professor Erskine of the A. E.
 F. University, Education has become
 the chief concern of statesmen
 The new program of education will
 discipline the intellect and will train
 special skills. It must be broad
 enough to include all efforts that en-
 large the vision of the peoples, that
 make them tolerant and keep them
 open minded" In another place, Pro-
 lessor Erskine reminds us that "The
 new world into which we are now en- tering will be, it seems, world of
 experts"
 Recognizing the fact of tlis com
 ing demand for a newer and better
 system of education, the Tempe Nor
 nal School of Arizona has planned and arranged series of special
 courses in vocational training. For carrying forward the work of these courses, the state has provided building and equipment, the complete ness of which may be judged by the fact that it's total cost is over $1OO,- 900. This building with all it's appar- atus and machinery, the most com plete of it's kind in the southwest, is public institution and is open to all young men and women of Arizona, free of any tuition charge except the gen. eral registration fee of $500. The instructors are all specialists in their respective lines of work, and of broad experience in teaching. Tempe Nor mai School wishes to assist all those students who have some" hobby" or special attitude which they desrie to develop by special training, and par ticularly invites the attention of high school graduates who, just now, are looking into the future. 1
 Three types of vocational courses are offered. The first is a series of two year courses open to high school graduates who desire to prepare to be- come departmental teachers or super visors of MANUAL TRAINING, HOME ECONOMICS, ART, AGRI- KINDERGARTEN TRAINING or COMMERCIAL SUB- JECTS. These courses should be at tractive because of the growing de mand for such teachers who command the higher salaries.
 The second group of two year cours- es in the special lines of work abo.e mentioned are open to high school graduates who do not wish to become teachers but who wish to devote the greater part of their time to the vo- subject of their choice.
 Third in order are the partial cours- es offered for the benefit of students of some degree of maturity whose previous preparation may not qualify hem for admission to the regular courses, but who wish to obtain spec al training for self government in wood working, machine shop or ma 'hine design, or, in fact, almost any inc of vocational work in which lass of four or five can be organized. No special prerequisites are required or entrance into these courses, and tudents may enter at any time
 The dormitory accommodations for tudents living at distance are un- and expenses are reason .ble. For further particulars relat- ng to the above courses or other mat CTS concerning the. school, correspond nee is solicited, as it is the desire f the management to bring the ad- antages of the institution to the at ention of the students for whom it is ,tended.
