Description: INDIANA STATE NOKMAL SCHOOL.41The 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 Biology and Geology.Department of Beading.Department of History.Department of Geography.Department of Mathematics.Department of luatin.Department of Mental Science and Metttods.Department of Music.Department of Drawing and Penmanship.Department of Physics and Chemistry.
