RIVER FALLS SCHOOL.

The fourth normal school was established in 1875. It is situated in a beautiful little city on the C., St, P., M. & O. R. R., its location being in an attractive and picturesque country, well settled and prosperous. The city of River Falls is a city of homes and in it the students find ideal conditions for the prosecution of the purposes for which the school is maintained.

The building which had been used for twenty-two years was destroyed by fire on the evening of November 29, 1897, but the school was successfully housed in churches and civic society rooms for the remainder of the year. On the open

ing of the school in September, 1898, it found commodious quarters in a new building, erected on the spot where the old one stood.

The new building is a model in its lighting, convenience and general adaptability for the purposes of a Normal school.

There are three departments in the school, the Normal, Preparatory and Model. The courses of study are the same as those in the other Wisconsin Normals offering four years of work.

MILWAUKEE SCHOOL.

The state normal school located in Milwaukee, was authorized by an act of the legislature in 1880. The school was formally opened in September, 1885. The total enrollment during the year was, in the normal department, forty-six. The enrollment during the year 1897-'98 was, in the same department, 394.

This school offers tive courses of study, English, Latin, German, Social Science, and a Kindergarten Training course. The English course is the equivalent of the last two years of the full English course in the other normal schools, while the Latin and the German courses are the equivalent of the last two years of these courses in the other schools except that four years' preparatory work is required in the Latin and two in the German to enter these courses, respectively.

The Kindergarten Training course is designed especially to give thorough training to students who desire to fit themselves for Kindergarten work.

All students entering the school must have completed a high school course in one of the four years' course free high schools, or have equivalent preparation, and must pass a satisfactory examination in Arithematic, U. S. History, Geography, and English Grammar.

No elementary or preparatory course is connected with this school.

Students in the Milwaukee school have an opportunity to do practice work in the public schools in the city.

The building is well equipped for the work of the school and will accommodate three hundred students comfortably.

SUPERIOR SCHOOL.

The seventh normal school was opened September 8, 1896. Its building is probably the best of its kind in the Northwest. The total enrollment in all departments for the second year was 448, coming chiefly from 27 different counties in Wisconsin. The same courses of study that exist in the other schools are carried on here. A very large majority of all who withdraw from the school go out to teach.

STEVENS POINT SCHOOL.

The sixth state normal school was opened September 17, 1894.

The following courses are provided: German, Latin and English-scientific courses of four years each, leading to the Diploma, which may become a life State certificate; an Elementary Course of two years and a Professional Course of one year, leading to the certificate, which may become a five years' State certificate; a One Year Common School Course. High school graduates are ad mitted to advanced standing in either course.

Special courses may be arranged by selection from the regular courses to fit the needs of individual teachers.

Special preparation for teachers of Primary and Intermediate grades, by selection of studies in regular courses, and addition of special courses in Practice and Pedagogy.

The building is modern, thoroughly adapted to the uses of a school; is well equipped; has one of the largest and best fitted gymnasiums in the state, second only to that at the University. This is under the care of a trained specialist. A carefully selected library of about 6,000 volumes is in the care of a trained librarian, whose entire time is given to the students.

The total enrollment in all departments in June, 1898, was 633 students, coming from upwards of forty counties in the state.

Stevens Point is a quiet, orderly town, with paved streets and pleasant homes; is lighted by gas and electricity; has a good water supply, well distributed; a paid fire department and free mail delivery; is accessible by two railroads from all the central part of the state.

Necessary school expenses, including board, for year of forty weeks, need not exceed $135.00 and may be made less.

School year begins last Tuesday in August.
