Tri-State ** HIS institution is both Normal and College-Normal in that it employs the very best talent to serve all who want to prepare to teach. CHAS. D. NASON, Ph. D. of Pennsylvania University, has been employed for another year. He has special charge of all Pedagogical and Reading Circle work. PROF. BAILY continues his Training work, meeting every difficulty that besets the young teacher. We have three to four Arithmetic classes every term. Hereafter the President of the school will conduct a class in Arithmetic in which no books will be used in the class. His methods have been copyrighted and are used in every State in the union. We make the following guarantee: We will refund tuition to any one who takes a term in this class and is not satisfied that this class alone is worth all expenses of a term's schooling. We have two classes using Cook & Cropsey as a text book. We also conduct a Grammar class independent of any special text book, except for purposes of illustration. Let the teachers take notice of this line of work. It will pay you to come a long way to get this very unique instruction. We have established a Law Department with a large and able faculty made up of practical lawyers. Judge D. R. BEST is Dean of faculty. We have made such connection with cities now, that those who take a Commercial Course here are practically sure of a good place. We now have more calls for teachers of bookkeeping than we can supply. Same, however, is true in Literary Department. Here is an application from the President of one of the best colleges in Texas, received September 10: "Prof. Sniff: I need a teacher of Latin and Greek, and I would rather risk your judgment than that of any other man in the school work." We now have calls for four teachers in Bookkeeping which we can't supply. We are a college and do college work all the time, and our work is credited without examination in the best colleges and universities in the land. Better go to a normal school where the college work done counts in a university. This is a tremendous advantage. Three years of work here counts as much in a university as six years in high school. This we have proven by facts every year for the past eight years. BOARD FURNISHED. Room and Tuition Costs from $2.50 to $2.85 Per Week. We have no poor rooms nor poor board. All rooms are in good homes, and all board in private families. We have no low priced board. We have no halls. All are homed in good families. Next Term Opens November 13. Students can enter any day. Need not wait for new term to open. Ask for Catalogue; also, ask for Law Catalogue. Address L. M. SNIFF, A. M., President. Engraved Copperplate Calling Cards and Wedding Invitations a Specialty.

M., Professor of Grammar and Composition in the Indiana State Normal School. A THREE BOOK SERIES. LANGUAGE FOR THE GRADES, 174 pages, Cloth, Illustrated. Price, 40 Cents. STUDIES IN THE SCIENCE OF ENGLISH GRAMMAR, Cloth. Price, 60 Cents. LANGUAGE FOR THE GRADES deals with the problem of English as it should be presented in the grades from the time the child enters school to the end of the sixth year. It is based upon the idea that children in the grades need such work in language as will fix in them the habit of using good language. A NEW ENGLISH GRAMMAR presents material for the seventh and eighth year grades of the common schools. The formal and arbitrary grammar work which pupils everywhere so much dislike, is banished from the class-room and the subject of grammar is made as interesting as history. STUDIES IN THE SCIENCE OF ENGLISH GRAMMAR, is a book for advanced classes, high schools and academies. This book employs the searching or laboratory method. The problems are set, the material given, and the pupil set to build the material in accordance with the problem proposed. Revised and improved. AN OUTLINE of METHOD IN HISTORY. By Ellwood W. Kemp, Professor of History in the Indiana State Normal School; 300 pages; handsomely printed and bound; Cloth. Price, $1.00. This book organizes history and shows how to apply the principles which underlie correct historical instruction. The work during the first eight years of school life is definitely stated and model lessons given. The whole book is based upon the thought that to study history we must think it; to think it we must feel it, and in thinking it and feeling it we ourselves must be transformed by it. It has been received in the most favorable way by the public. ADAMS' MUSIC FOR THE COMMON SCHOOLS. By Carrie B. Adams; 104 pages; bound in boards, with handsome cover design in four colors.
