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,
