Description:	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 the term take, in their examination, the time of teachers which should be given to instruction. Besides, those who are tardy in entering, find it difficult to make up lost lessons. Be present, ready fur work, mi the first day of the term.11. Every student admitted will be required to give satisfactory evidence of good moral character, and of fair intellectual abilities. The personal appearance and conduct of the individual, together with a letter from some responsible citizen to whom the bearer is personally known, will be taken as evidence of character.12. After reasonable trial, if a student shows lack of ability or of ap¬ plication, or of moral character, to achieve fair success as a teacher, he or she will be kindly advised to withdraw from the school and seek some other occupation.13. Those desiring other information respecting the Normal School than that contained in this Register are requested to address State Normal School, Terre Haute, Indiana.CALENDAR.Special attention is called to the change in the length of the terms. Each term by the present calendar is thirteen weeks long.The fall term begins September 6th, and ends December 2d.The winter term begins December 6th, and ends March 15th.The spring term begins March 21st, and ends June 16th.There will be a vacation during the holidays, extending from De¬ cember 23d to January 3d.OUTLINES OF INSTRUCTION.The design of the publication of the following outlines of instruc¬ tion is to exhibit to the reader what is thought to be the method in each subject and to suggest an order of study to those who may wish to better prepare themselves to do the work of the school. Under-grad- uates desiring to complete the course, but who are compelled to re¬ main out a part of each year to teach, will, it is believed, find these outlines of value in helping them to master some of the subjects of the course by private study, and thus shorten the term of their necessary attendance at the school. All professional work must be done in the institution.These are outlines of scholastic work. A single outline of profes¬ sional work in methods in geography is presented to show the nature of the instruction in methods. The next Register will probably con¬ tain a full exposition of the professional instruction given in the school.
