The idea of offering strictly collegiate teaCher training work has been in the mlnds of the school administrators for several years. For two or three years prev10us to 1923 the so-called Normal Schools were made more rigigi and greater in variety of courses. In 1923, the first college won: above Sophomore was offered to a number of graduates of the Sophomore class. Those returning for this J unior College work numbered only eight, but they set a high standard of scholarship which nut the four years college course on a very high plane of scholarship Much nf the college work of an advanced nature was woven around the Seience Depart- ment in which the majority of the advanced students were interested. This Science work included College Zoology, College Botany, Analytical Chemistry, and Organic Chemistry. In 1924 we had our first college grad- uating class which numbered seven men and one woman. The majority of this class is now pursuing advanced work in professional schools. In 1925 there were six graduates, all of Whom, except one, are engaged in teaching. In 1926 there are sixteen candidates for degrees, four of whom are physicians, seeking literary degrees. A large majority of 'this class plans to follow teaChing as a profession. 1111 the present J unior class there are thirty who Will be candidates for degrees in 1927. The new law con- cerning certiiicates has greatly assisted in holding over students for J unior and Senior College Work. The State requires from one to two years of college work to teach in a first class elementary school and four years of college work to teach in a first class high school. J udging by the number of those in the Sophomore class who are pursuing four years of college work there will be a much larger number of graduates for 1928. The success of college work as far as the number of students, quality of work done, etc., are concerned, is assured. Page 22
