The object sought in these departments is the best preparation of teachers for the work of the school room. The training is broad in its character, embracing such points as: (1.) A thorough and sufficient knowledge of the subject matter to be imparted. (2. ) A masterly grasp upon the principles that underlie the right or ganization and management of schools. (3.) The latest and most approved meth· ods of teaching the various subjects. (4.) A systematic study of the principles that may be applied in the discipline of the school room. The regular county teachers' course is a le&ding feature of the S . N., and the classes are always large and interesting. The 895 public school teachers in the Slate of Kentucky who hold a third-class certificate will find in this department such a course of training as they need. The 3,014 teachers who hold second-class certificates and who want a first-class, will also fi nd it to their mterest to enter our large regular teachers' training A five months' look w ould not cost y ou over $58.50 for board, tuition a nd all inciden tal expenses.
