Ill 0 Ill Normal Training Department In 1907 the Nebraska legislature enacted the Normal Training law which per- mitted High Schools in the state of Nebraska to offer special courses for the training of rural teachers. The State Department designated Seward as one of the Normal Training schools in 1908. Miss Frances Huntington was the first Normal Training teacher appointed in the Seward Schools. During the years that Normal Training has been offered in the Seward High School, 224 students have graduated in this course. The Seward School has rendered a real service to the rural schools of Seward County in the training of students preparatory to assuming the responsible work of teaching. The largest Normal Training class in the history of the school will graduate May 21st, 1925. Commercial Department The Commercial Department was introduced as an elective course in the Seward Schools in 1917. This was the first attempt to shape the course of study in the Public Schools to conform to the demands on the part of the community to teach subjects of practical value that students can use in making a livelihood. This course was both popular and successful from the standpoint of efficiency from the very start. Miss Josephine Dougan QMrs. Josephine Mickelj, an experienced teacher and one who had much practical business experience, organized the department in Shorthand, Typewriting, Bookeeping, Commercial Law and Business English. More students have registered in the Commercial Department than in any other department in school and many of the graduates are now serving in responsible posi- tions, both in Seward and elsewhere. Many students who otherwise would be put to great expense to secure their business training elsewhere, can now secure this train- ing at home undexy the most efficient and thorough instruction, second to none in the state.
