N' xt stop Christmas,
—The College lias decided to give a
Normal C(»nrse for Tea*hei‘s commencing
on the lltli of April aiid continuiii.g for
eight weeks. The t!:. ; r,ur.->e
will be to give tlie teachers who attend
an opportunity for review under the most
favorable ('onditions and to study ni'otliods
of teaching and the History and Theory
of Kducation in the light of modern schol-
arshi)) and research.
The only charges will be the cost of
board and the ordinary matriculation and
library fees of the coll ge. Tuition will
be free to all the teachers m'Iio come to
take the course.
It is hoped that a number of teachers
will take advantage of this opportunity
that the college offers.

stroke as a student of the college as he
