Description:	26STATE NORMAL SCHOOL.themselves for the work, the Board of Trustees have caused to be arranged a short course of instruction and training.This course embraces all the subjects required by law to be taught in the Common Schools.It also embraces a course of instruction in the theory and art of teaching.Persons of good ability, and those who have had some suc¬ cessful experience in teaching, and who wish to make a thor¬ ough review of the branches required by law to be taught in the schools, can complete this course in about half the time of the full course. This course covers the first four terms of the regular course.Those who complete this course, can, on its completion, con¬ tinue on the full course. The difference between the regular course aud the short course, is a difference in completeness. Each is thorough.To students who complete this course, a certificate of the fact will be given.CONDITIONS OF ADMISSION.Students, if females, must be sixteen years of age if males, eighteen. They must possess good moral character and aver¬ age intellectual abilities. If residents of Indiana, they must promise to teach, if practicable, in the common schools of the State, a period equal to twice that spent as pupils in the Nor¬ mal School.They must pass a fair examination in Reading, Spelling, Geography, and Arithmetic through Percentage. They must write a legible hand, and be able to analyze and parse simple sentences.Because of an insufficient appropriation for the incidental expenses of the institution, the Board of Trustees have found it necessary to assess a janitors fee of one dollar per term. This fee will be collected at the opening of each term.
