JaAfar &>unty •^iAkf- r S s^if v ' SIXTH SESSION OF THE JASPER COUNTY NORMAL will open ’‘XJE 5 at the Public School buildiiig, in Rensselaer, on Tuesday, July 12th. 1881. It will continue Six Weeks. and during the last week the /Annual Teachers’ Countv Institute will be held. WOR K - The work will be particularly suited to the needs of teachers and those preparing to teach; but will also be adapted'to meet the requirements of the advanced pupils of our Common Schools. Here all will have an opportunity of entering new fields of investigation, orof giving the studies they have pursued a searching review. We hold out our hands and welcome to our school all—both students from our own county and those from other counties—who may wish to attend a Summer Normal, assuring them that no effort will be spared to make the work thorough, practical and full of life and enthusiasm, CLASSES. Classes, both beginning and advanced, will be formed in all the Common Schoo ‘ Branches, thus enabling any person to take cither review or advanced work in each. Classes will also be formed in Geometry, Botany, Geology, Algebra, Physical Geography, Natural History, Literature, Mental Philosophy, &c., it a sufficlcut number of students request it. THEORY AND PRACTICE. Theory and Practice of Teaching, one of the most perplexing, and one of the most important subjects with which teachers have to deal, will receive special attention. The Training Class will again be placed in charge of the Superintendent, who is best acquainted with the general needs of the teachers. A Model Class, composed of children from the town, will be one of the essential features of the work in this subject, and every doubtful or-abstruse theory will ne tested in this class. This work will be practical and not purely theoretical. Intelligent, practical work is the supreme need of our Common School-.'. We have too much theory and too little practice. In the Training Class the every day difficulties with which the teacher meets will be brought up and discussed, and the constant aim will be to citable him to avoid error and ‘-him! fast to 1 hat which is good.” READING AND ELOCUTION. Prof. Allen, whose work of last year speaks for itself, will uav-'.rhiti - e >1 the classes in Reading and Elocution. PENMANSHIPThis branch will be thoroughly and practically taught.
