Excerpt from State Teacher College Duluth, Minnesota, Twentieth Annual Catalogue, 1921-1922: With Announcement for 1922-1923 The distinctive purpose of the institution is to prepare teachers for the public elementary schools of the State. At the same time the completion of a year of work in addition to that ordinarily required will qualify for teaching any of the elementary subjects in junior high schools, for principalships of graded schools, and for principalships and teaching positions in the teacher training departments of high schools. The general organization of the College conforms to the two-fold aspect of the work involved in the preparation of teachers. In the Academic Department instruction is given in the subjects of the elementary school curriculum and those special subjects necessary to an understanding of the problems of elementary education. The Training Department, which in eludes a kindergarten and the usual eight grades, provides the opportunity for observation and student-teaching. The college maintains an elementary school of its own and is in the fortunate position of being able to arrange for each student teacher to have a part of her preliminary teaching experience in the city schools of Duluth. Both the academic work and that of the training department are so differentiated as to meet the special requirements in the preparation of teachers for the several classes or departments of the elementary school.

Excerpt from The University of Minnesota: Bulletin for Teachers of German This is the third of a series of bulletins on the teaching of high-school subjects, prepared under the auspices of the College of Education at the University of Minnesota. These bulletins do not undertake to give detailed treatment of special methods or of many other important matters covered in the special methods courses at the University. They are, however, designed to present a summary of the text-books and materials available to teachers of the various subjects. In every bulletin an effort is made to confine the discussion to those problems which confront the beginning teacher and to supply those aids, suggestions, and materials which should be at her disposal in solving such problems. The Bulletin for Teachers of Latin was prepared by Professor Joseph B. Pike, and the Bulletin for Teachers of History was prepared by Professor August C. Krey. These and succeeding bulletins may be secured by addressing the Librarian, University of Minnesota, and enclosing the price, 25 cents each.

Excerpt from Thirty-Sixth Annual Catalogue of the State Normal School at Mankato, Minnesota, for the School Year 1904-1905: Nd Announcements for 1905-1906 The chief purpose of the school is special instruction in the Science and Art of Teaching; but, as in nearly all other normal schools in the country, a thorough system of academic instruction is at once the basis, and, to a large extent, the medium of professional instruction in the courses not designed for high school graduates. General culture and accu rate scholarship are necessary to good teaching; but with this culture and scholarship the teacher must be trained in the principles that underlie his art and in the application of these principles to the practical work of the school. The school comprises two departments the Normal School proper and the Elementary School and Training Department. The Elementary School includes a kindergarten, the usual eight grades below the high school, and a Review Class in which candidates who fail in their entrance examinations will be given an opportunity to make up the subjects in which they may be deficient, and students who wish to do so may review carefully the common branches before entering upon the work of the normal school.

Excerpt from The Training School Furthermore of 79 teachers who had done practice teaching as a preparation for later teaching, 69 reported that it had much value; eight that it had moderate value; two that it had little value. The purpose of this survey of the teacher training facilities in Colo rado State Teachers College, then is two-fold: (1) to present impartially facts concerning organization, material, methods, defects and advan tages of the system, so that they may become common knowledge to all administrators or others interested in the training of teachers, who desire it; and (2) (the much more important purpose) to bring to the members of the faculty of the College, a conscious realization of the problems and short-comings; to bring about a more definite unity of purpose on the part of the faculty; a more thorough realization that the College exists for the sole purpose of the training of teachers, that the training school is the central, most positive agency in the school for the realization of this purpose, and finally that the success or failure of the training school in accomplishing this definite purpose, depends largely on each member of the faculty, be he Dean, Director of the Training School, Training Teacher, or the most insignificant assistant in the institution.

Excerpt from The Dignity of the Common School Teacher's Mission: An Address Delivered Before the Minnesota Educational Association, Dec; 29, 1891 And then the boys and the girls who went with us, played with us, recited with us, sat with us upon the hard benches, read with us, spelled and mispelled with us, went to the head and then, to the foot, fired paper balls with us, whispered with us, sat on the easy seat with us, snow pelted with us, slid down hill with us, went to Spelling school with us, walked home with us, irted with us and exchanged notes and ap ples with us, in all the joyousness of country purity. Do boys and girls have so good a time now as we used to have around that old one-story brick school house which for sixty years has been the little wicket gate through which the children have entered the temple of education? God bless the old New Eng land school house! God bless the common school house everywhere! It is the poor boys friend and the nation's hope.
