INDIANA STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. 17TIME REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THE COURSE.The regular course of instruction can be completed by a student
of average ability in nine terms. Abler students, with a better
preparation, can complete it in less time.It is not necessary that the student should attend continuously
after entering. New classes arc formed every term, and students
who may remain out to teach for a time, can return at the begin¬
ning of any subsequent term and find a class doing the work for
which they are prepared. Thus, persons who are wholly depend¬
ent upon themselves for support can graduate without any loss of
time. Indeed, some experience in teaching during the course is
advised.SHORT COURSE.The first three terms constitute a short course which embraces
all the subjects required to be taught in the Common Schools
except History of the United States. Those attending during
the spring term can study United States History for a single term
if they so elect. Attendance for a year will afford opportunity for
a, thorough review of the common branches, and give a practical
course of instruction in the theory and art of teaching.CONDITIONS OF ADMISSION.Students, if females, must be sixteen years of age if males, eighteen. They must possess good moral character and average intellectual ability. If residents of Indiana, they must promise to teach, if practicable, in the common schools of the State, a period equal to twice that spent as pupils in the Normal School.They must pass a fair examination in reading, spelling, geog¬ raphy, and arithmetic through percentage. They must write a legible hand, and be able to analyze and parse simple sentences.Because of an insufficient appropriation by the Legislature, the Board of Trustees has found it necessary to assess a janitors fee of one dollar per term. This fee will be collected at the opening of each term.2—State Normal. |
