That the essentials depend upon the employment of complex machinery and elaborate devices, or that the reputation of the architect as an artist is of more importance than the essentials. To School Boards who will kindly favor me with their correspondence, I will take pleasure in showing that the rawest kind of raw materials may be put into artistic forms by thoughtful arrangement, and that the most elaborate treatment may still fail for want of proper proportions.

Choose for your teachers those who have had years of experience. Select a course of study that is practical. Do not waste your time at an inferior school for the purpose of SAVING A FEW DOLLARS.

A work which avoids the weakness and puerility of "language without grammar" as well as the dry monotony of "grammar without language," and presents a golden mean,-interesting, suggestive, inspiring? A book which has a frame-work of sound theory, clothed with beauty of illustration and attractiveness of detail? Something that will develop original thought in the child, while making him conversant with the best examples of style and the best usage of the English language ? SUCH A BOOK IS Tarbell's Lessons in Language. Part I now ready: Introduction price, 40 cents; Part II in press. Allowance for old book, 15 cents. Read what President Albee, of the Wisconsin State Normal School, says of it: "It constitutes the best basis for a child's progress in culture in language known to me. Its lessons are not merely consistent and progressive, which could be said of several other elementary texts in language; but in addition, they constitute a linguistic center which calls for exercises upon the child's varied fields of knowledge. While these lessons pursue several lines of language training, they avoid the scrappiness usually attendant upon variety and maintain a consistent aim to the close." Send for Descriptive Circulars.

The large number of teachers in attendance during the first year and the general satisfaction given students and patrons generally, indicate a still more successful term next summer. Briefly, the objects of this term are: To afford teachers an opportunity of reviewing or pursuing any study mentioned in our catalogue, including shorthand and typewriting, and the Academic and Commercial courses. To give students of high schools and colleges an opportunity for advancing their class standing, or making up back studies, and to afford teachers a means of obtaining a thorough drill in the theory and practice of teaching. In our teacher's training class the normal method of presenting the different branches will be given. Our methods are fast becoming very popular and many are being attracted to the schools for this class alone. The flattering success thus far achieved is due to the fact that each one who comes here has the advantage of just such work as he desires. Here, as in no other school, the bright student is not hampered by class restrictions, the less active is not unduly crowded forward, but each individual's advancement is measured only by his capabilities. The normal term is not simply a review term, but a combination of the regular school year with the review classes and features of general interest to teachers added; hence a student entering at any other season of the year may pursue his course without interruption. There will be no fall vacation, so that one may enter at any convenient time and stay as long as desirable without inconvenience. Normal Term Begins June 15th. THE SUPERIORITY OF OUR NORMAL TERM. Nearly all schools in this and other states are organized upon the basis of institute work. This is of much value to the advanced teacher in improving his methods of teaching, but is practically useless as a means of advancement in any particular course of study. During this term the Academy presents the best features of institute work in connection with the regular Academic course. |
