The Training School It is the purpose of the Training School to make the students who practice in it a group of very efficient school teachers. By September. 1929, the new training school building is expected to be ready lor use. It will house the entire training school. The plans for this building have been drawn and approved. It will be a two story structure. On the ground lloor will be a large gymnasium which will also be used as an auditorium; the kindergarten rooms, the manual arts and home economics room will also be on this floor. The first floor will include practice rooms for the first six grades, the gymnasium and the auditorium. The second floor will be given over to the Junior and Senior High School practice rooms, science laboratories and a library. The new training school under Mr. Herrick's supervision will be able to raise the already high standing which our school has in the state. Our graduates will be better able to cope with the problems confronting them when they go out to teach. They will also have a chance to put into practice the theories and principles of education expounded to them in their classes upstairs . Alfred J.

Grammar Department W hen the Grammar Department was organized, it had for its purpose the training of teachers for the upper grades. Later it was felt that the schools of the state could be better served by organizing the work of the department in three courses, the Intermediate. Grammar, and the three year Junior High School. From the first our graduates have been in demand and today they are filling responsible positions in almost every town and city in Central Wisconsin. That they arc giving satisfaction is shown by the fact that superintendents not only in our own district, but elsewhere both w ithin and without the state are coming back for teachers year after year. The Department is improving every year; and with the help of the Round Table, our departmental club, has taken a leading part in all the activities of the school. Round fable members have won places on all athletic teams, in the musical organizations, in the debate teams and both first and second places in the oratorical contest. While doing all this, we have made many friends and have had many good times at our monthly meetings. Charles F. Watson Platteville Normal School, Graduate University of Chicago, B.S.
