Description:	12 ANNUAL REGISTER.COURSE FOR GRADUATES OF COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES.Graduates from the classical course of our Collegesand Uni¬ versities, and those having equivalent scholarship, will make a thorough review of the common school branches, and will make a professional study of the same, andcomplete all the professional work set forth above. Satisfactory evidence, in addition, that they have completed the course of study in the College, or that they have equivalent scholarship, will entitle them to a gradu¬ ating certificate from the Normal School.Such students can complete the work in one year.IMPORTANT CHANGES.The revised course of instruction now in force contains two im¬ portant and valuable modifications of the old course, under which the school has been conducted for several years.One of these is the increased amount of time given to instruc¬ tion in the natural sciences, and the improved appliances, in room and apparatus.The increased interest in this important department and the character of work done during the present year has proved that the Board acted wisely in making this an independent depart¬ ment, and in placing a competent and enthusiastic teacher in charge of it.The other important change is the increased amount of time given to the strictly professional work of the course. The amount of work required of students in this department is two-fold what was formerly demanded. The result must be that the efficiency of our graduates will be greatly increased. They will leave the school with a much larger experimental knowledge, since they spend more than twice as much time as formerly in the actual observation and teaching of a school. They not only learn the theory of teaching, but the art also, and graduate from the school experienced teachers.
