Every live teacher has an honest ambition to do better teaching the next year than he has done the last year. Teachers can only improve their schools by improving themselves. The Kentucky Normal School is so conducted in the arrangement of its sessions, courses of study and methods of teaching as to meet the needs of this class of students. We cannot tell you how much you will be improved by one or two sessions of earnest, well-directed work. Results achieved in a few weeks are astonishing to the student, as well as to his teachers and friends. The special mission of this institution is to train teachers for their work in the school-room. It GIVES TEACHERS THE BEST AND ONLY OPPOR TUNITY OFFERED IN THE STATE FOR LEARNING HOW TO TEACH. DIPLOMAS ARE EQUIVALENT TO STATE CERTIFICATES. Will Kentucky teachers support their home institution, or will they seek foreign tuition from those who fail to understand or supply their wants? Any student not satisfied with the work of the school after a test of ten weeks, can have his tuition refunded. THE WORK SPEAKS FOR ITSELF. We, the undersigned, students of the Kentucky Normal School, take great pleasure in publishing, viz. : 1. That the work of the school in both the Teachers' and Business Departments is eminently practical. 2. The training in the professional course is invaluable to the teacher of any grade of school whatever, 3. Economy is an important feature, and the Principal spares no pains to secure good and wholesome board and well furnished rooms at the lowest rates possible. 4. Students would be peculiarly and greatly benefited by spending even a single session in this institution; and, therefore, 5. We recommend the school to all persons, and especially to those of limited means, who wish to prepare for the profession of teaching, or to obtain a practical business education. The above appeared over the signatures of more than twenty students, representing 18 many counties. CARLISLE, KY., December 10, 18741 The teachers of this county are doing better work than ever before. Their success is almost wholly due to the influence of the Normal School (many of them having attended the Normal one or more sessions.) I consider it money well expended to pay ten to twenty dollars more per month in order to get the services of a teacher who has been educated or trained for his work in a Normal School. I. M.
