Description: |
ANNUAL REGISTER.41It is designed to have this course in the State Normal School
supply the place of training schools for those cities that do not
have training schools of their own.This will be a strictly professional course, in which a large
portion of the time of the student will be spent in observation
and teaching in the practice schools connected with the Institu¬
tion.Those who complete this course will not be entitled to the di¬
ploma granted by the school.The purpose of the course is to relieve the school officers of
cities from the necessity they feel of employing, as teachers, the
graduates of their high schools who have had no training in
teaching.A years training in the Normal School will add more to their
efficiency as teachers than would several years practice in teach¬
ing, and the schools will be supplied with a much better class of
teachers.During the past year a large number of high school graduates
have been pursuing one or the other of the courses of study pro¬
vided by the Normal School for such graduates. This indicates
a growing conviction that, in addition to a knowledge of the sub¬
jects of instruction, the teacher should have a thorough training
in the history, science and art of his profession.DEPARTMENTS.The departments of the school are as follows:Department of History and Science of Education.Department of Grammar, Composition and Literature.Department of Natural Science.Department of Beading.Department of History.Department of Geography.Department of Mathematics.Department of Latin.Department of Mental Science and Methods.Department of Music.Department of Drawing and Penmanship. |
