had one year's knowledge of the
work and having taken some
special study during the summer;

assistant teachers also are teach

both the parents and children of

this fall on the certificates of the

ber of free scholarships to the
State Normal? College and the
State University.
... The school offers four depart
ments of study viz: literary,
teacher's -normal, business and
music.fThe principal has a diplo
