actual teaching of classes under criticism of the teacher of meth¬

organization and classification of the schools gained by a study
of the application of the principles of psychology to these, and
by the discussion of hypothetical cases.Seventh. A practical knowledge of school discipline, gained (a)
by being subject to school discipline as a student in the Normal
School, and studying the subject from the standpoint of a pupil,
and (b) by taking entire control of the discipline and instruction
of one of the grades in the training schools, for such time as is
necessary to test the students power to govern and teach a
school.Eighth. A knowledge of the legal relations and responsibilities

and instruction that are strictly professional, and that constitute
the characteristic work of a normal school. An examination of
the different courses of study which follow will show that, in ad¬
dition to this, the school affords ample opportunity for a thorough
academic training. By a recent action of the Board of Trustees,
a supplementary course of instruction in the advanced branches
of learning is provided for, which will afford those who pursue it
that fuller scholarship and broader culture necessary for the teach¬
ers of our best high schools. |
