Description: STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. 27ATTENTIONIs called to the following points:1. Tuition is free.2. The instruction is systematic, philosophic and organic.3. The discipline is such as to lead the pupil to self-govern¬
ment and to the formation of a worthy character.4. Two good literary societies are in successful operation.5. Observation and Practice in the Training Schools.—
Students are required to observe until they can accurately
report and interpret the meaning of each exercise
to practice
teaching under criticism until they can plan and conduct reci¬
tations and manage classes efficiently.6. Successful undergraduates obtain good situations at good
wages.7. Graduates are commanding from $50 to $140 per month.8. The diploma of the Normal School is, by law of the
State, equivalent to a State certificate, relieving the holder
from county examinations.9. No student will be admitted to the Normal School who
does not intend, in good faith, to qualify himself or herself to
teach in the public schools of the State.10. It is important that every student expecting to attend
the Normal School should be present the first day of the term,
that all may be examined at once and classified. Those who
enter a few days after the beginning of a term take, in their
examination, the time of teachers which should be given to
instruction. Besides, those who are tardy at entering find it
difficult to make up lost lessons.11. Every student admitted to the Institution will be re¬
quired to give satisfactory evidence of a good moral character,
and of fair intellectual abilities. The personal appearance and
the conduct of the individual, together with a letter from some
responsible citizen of known integrity, to whom the bearer is
personally known, will be taken as evidence in reference to
character.
