Description:	16ANNUAL REGISTER.ates of High Schools and Colleges for attaining a high grade of profes¬ sional instruction as a preparation for occupying the higher places in the public school service of the State.This is not only a move in the right direction, demanded by the pro¬ gressive spirit of the times, but, so far as I know, is peculiar to your Normal School, and is a most creditable fact in current educational his¬ tory. I sincerely hope that this new movement will be generally wel¬ comed by educated young men and women of Indiana who are ambitious to rise in the new profession. If I might counsel such, my advice would be to pass from High School and College into this professional school, where a knowledge of subjects may be supplemented by that peculiar knowledge that is strictly professional, and without which the teacher must be merely empirical. Very respectfully,W. II. PAYNE,Of the Chair of Education in Michigan University.GROWTH OF THE SCHOOL.The following table shows the total enrollment for each term, the average term enrollment, and the whole number of different students, who have attended each year since the organization of the school.enrollment.a *iC BHJjbC Clumber ifferent s for ear.1 liiAtl.Winter Term.Spring Term.FallTerm.Total.1870 .1871 .1872 .1873 .1874 .1875 .1876 .1877 .1878 .1879 .1880 .1881 . 188240 3385 • 106 \SF118120 187 198 218270 2540684{ 131197279218183246413:^85372478 -424367696125143 121 103171 216200 258 258142 193312428 496 485 404 537 816 783 848 1,00647 64 104 143 165 162 135 179 272 261 283 33598 141 224286 304 322 282 329 592 530 578 732
