Description:	14INDIA  J DIANA STATE NORMAL SCHOOL.of the subject- that are kn With the fourth term is begun the study of Psychol- comprehr lilc^ coutinues through three terms. A thorough and he gef,atific knowledge of the nature and powers of the mind, and tj, -A the laws under which it acts in its various stages of growth, is essential to every teacher who aspires to be more than an artisan, and to be free from the limitations of mere empiricism. Two terms are devoted to the study of the intellect, and one term to the study of the sensibilities and will. All the subsequent pro¬ fessional work is based upon, and makes constant reference to the facts and principles of Psychology. It is therefore less empirical and more rational than it is possible to make it during the first three terms.2. During the sixth and eighth terms students practice teach¬ ing in the eight different grades of the training schools, under criticism of the critic teachers and the teacher of methods.3. During the seventh term they study methods of teaching geography, grammar, composition, reading, and arithmetic under the instruction of the teacher of methods.Criticism lessons are given in the training schools by all the different members of the class.4. During the eighth term, one recitation hour per day is devoted to the study of the organization and classification of schools, and of the school law of the State to the general prin¬ ciples which should control in the management and government of the school and to the relation existing between the teacher and the parent, andbetween superintendent and subordinate teachers.5. During the ninth and last term of the course, a study of the history of education in the great crises of its development, and of the lives and teachings of the great educational reformers is pursued for one-half of the term, and a study of the philoso¬ phy of education for the remaining half.t>. During this last term, also, all of the different members of the graduating class are required to take entire charge of one of the model schools, performing all the duties in teaching and gov¬ erning the same for such a period as shall test their ability to teach and govern a school.
