HISTORICAL. This institution was first recognized as a part of the State Normal School system by an act of the legislative assembly approved February 26, 1885, since which time a high standard of work has been maintained. Twelve graduates have already been sent out from the different departments. The last session of the legislature recognized the value of the work done in a substantial way by an appropriation of twenty-four thousand dollars for its support and maintenance for two years. This grant of funds, although meagre, has been the means of enlarging the Normal Hall and refitting and refurnishing the same with latest improvements in furniture and appliances. The maps, globes, musical instruments, and the philosophical and chemical apparatus are unexcelled within the State. COURSES OF STUDY. There are four courses of study - the Elementary course, the Regular course, the Business course, and the Music course. The Elementary course covers a period of one year, the Regular course a period of three years, the Business and the Music course, each, an indefinite period, depending upon the attainments of the person entering.
