There are ten counties represented and 79 in attendance. In both the
Normal and Institute, there are 149 in attendance. Omitting those
students who attended, only the public school, over 200 have matriculated
since this annual session.

The prosperity of the school is clearly indicated when we consider that
only 134 students were enrolled last year. There are now in attendance 27
teachers who are better preparing themselves for efficiency in the public
school works. About 50 others are preparing to teach during the coming
summer. The faculty is making a special effort to prepare these young
teachers for successful work. They are drilled not only in the branches
to be taught, but in methods of teaching and in school management.

SO WAS THIS A TEACHER'S COLLEGE????
