TENDER.
College Courses
Arrangements nave been made to
offer a number of college courses,
including work in higher mathe-
MATES, English, history and politi-
cal science, French, sociology and
economics, psychology, art and mu-
sic. Several new members will be
added to the faculty who are espe-
cially qualified to give courses OF
unusual interest. Students who are
interested in enrolling for work are
urged to confer with the president,
M. W. Deputy, as soon as possible in
order that arrangements can be COM
pleted as fully as possible before the
opening of the fall term.
Two-Year Course
The usual two-year course for
high school graduates will be main
tanned and will be so arranged that
it will give the student full credit
toward the four-year college diplo-
ma. Those completing the two-year
course will receive the diplomas as
. in the past, while those who may
complete. the four-year course. will
receive the college diploma with
appropriate degree.
High School Department
Four years of high school work
will be given, to which students who
have successfully completed the work
Of the eighth grade or who have done
one or more years in high school will
be admitted. Credits earned in these
high school courses can be trans
ferred at any time to other high
schools, and the completion of the
full four years of high school work
together with an additional year of
teacher training will lead to diploma,
making the students eligible to
teach in any elementary school of
Minnesota. Last year about fifty
students were enrolled in this de-
partment. Most of these will return
and others from the local community
and from other communities without
high school facilities can be admitted.
Housing Situation
With the prospects for an in
creased attendance, the proper hous-
ing of the students during the winter
becomes an important matter. Dur
ing the past year an excellent spirit
of cooperation has been shown by
the citizens in assisting the school to
provide desirable living gaccommo-
dations. Those who may have rooms
or boarding accommodation for the
coming year are asked to notify the
college as early as possible.

We hear great deal nowadays

ever heard a woman praised for her
