Other Callings and College Life—
If you have in view other work re-
quiring college training, you may en-
ter the Normal College and take the
standard academic courses. The pre-
paratory training for various lines of
professional study may best be se-
cured in a Normal College where the
work is available at a cost of 33 1-3
per cent less than in the majority of
our universities.
The transition from high school to
college work is more easily made in
a normal college on account of
smaller classes and personal contact
with instructors. The records of
colleges and universities show very
good standing foi students transferred
from normal colleges to universities.
Your Chance—With elementary
education you increased your chance
for attaining distinction 4 times; with
highj schol education you increase
your chance 87 times; with college
education, 800 times. Statistics show
that high school training returns
young men and young women 10 dol-
lars for every day attended; and that
college education returns more than
27 dollars for every day in college.

education in the Normal? Plan to
