About the State Normal School.

The authorities of the State Normal School, at Terre Haute, have found it necessary to make some restrictions as to the standing of students to be admitted to the ensueing spring term, and have sent out an explanatory circular, of wnich the following is the more important portion:

While providing liberally for the support of the institution by a direct tax after July 1, 1896, the General Assembly did not find it practicable to allow an increased appropriation for immediate needs. We find ourselves compelled, therefore, to restrict the attendance somewhat until our resources shall be greater. At the opening of the spring term, April 2, 1895, we will admit only the following classes of students: 1. All students heretofore entered who have credits amounting to not less than one full term’s work on the course. 2. Graduates of commissioned high schools of the state. 3. Persons holding one or more three years’ county licenses to teach in Indiana. 4. Persons holding one or more two years’ county licenses to teach in Indiana. No new students will be received in the coming term who are not bona fide residents of Indiana. We estimate that t of the classes of students 'namgd between eight and nine hundred will attend the school in the spring. It is impossible for us with our present facilities to accommodate a larger number.
