T THE COUNTY NORMAL This system of teacher training was established in 1893, to be under the direction of the County Normal Board which deter- mines the entrance qualifications, course of study and the issu- ances of certificates. It is under the immediate supervision of two trained teach- ers who have had experience in rural schools, thereby insuring the teaching of practical methods. One is known as principal and the other as critic. The former having the management and giving instructions in academic work and methods, the latter having charge of the training room and supervising observation and practice teaching. Each pupil has experience and instruc- tions in the art of school government and organization. Much stress is laid upon good habits, morals, and high ideals. The Normal school sets the development of a socially effi- cient individual as the aim of every teacher graduating from it. This implies that the teacher must aim to give the pupil enough general knowledge to make his work a profit and pleasure to himself and others. ' i The student must be supplied with the power of acquiring and expressing knowledge. He must be trained in the habits of self control, co-operation, justice, hygiene living and thorough- ness in work. The whole attitude of the Normal school is to inspire the training students with the privilege and opportunities for social service offered through the training work. Also it aims to im- press them with the fact that society of tomorrow is in their hands today, and that the duty of guiding it aright depends upon them. They must live their personal lives as an example to the children under their control, for children have more need of example than of critics. There must be some place for the teacher to obtain her ideals. The Normal school offers this opportunity. -291

School Work is an occupation by Which one builds the foundation to the ladder of success.-The harder this foundation is made and the harder the person works to make it the longer the ladder will stand and the less-iaptitis to sway or break. , ' ' .
