The Normal Training High School.

About two hundred of the high
schools in Iowa are designated by
The State Department of Education
as Normal Training high Schools.
Such designation means that the
school has come up to a certain
force, and that graduates from the
Normal Training course will be
licensed to teach in any of the
schools of the state. The object of
the Normal Training High School is
to provide trained teachers for the
rural schools.
Leon High School has been Nor
years, and each year had had one Of
the largest Normal Training classes
in the state. a large number OF the
rural teachers of Decatur county are
graduates of the Normal Training
Department of Leon High School.
The Normal Training course in
cludes a class study Of psychology,
pedagogy and methods, ,and, obserya-
lion work and practice teaching. OBJ
servation work is done in the grades
of the Leon schools and also in the
surrounding rural schools. Practice
teaching has been done in our grade
rooms However, new plan was
tried last year which worked out
very sneeessfuX little Of rural
basement rooms with volunteers
from the various grade rooms as
pupils. Here our students did
practice teaching for more than a
month under conditions very nearly
like those of rural school. In this
work Mrs. Roberts, one of our pri-
mary teachers. supervised the prl.
mary work and Miss Walker, one of
the high school teachers. the upper
grade work. This year still more at
tention is to be given to this phase
of Normal Training. Mrs. Roberts
and Miss Schulze will have super
yisory charge.
A convention of the Normal Train
ing School teachers of the state was
held at Cedar Falls last week. The
con Board very generously sent
these two teachers to the meeting.
