- 2 GENERJJ.. INFORMATION.

TEE first term or the school year
will cmmnence on Monday, September 3rd,
1888, and continue sixteen weeks; the
secona term will open January 7th, 1889,
and continue twenty-four weeks.
For admission to the Junior Class the
followine qualifications are requisite:
Applicants must be fifteen years of
age, and will be admitted on examination
only. They must be of good morals and
industrious habits.
They must be able to pass an examination showing their ability to readily
parse the words of any ordinary sentence;
to solve any problem in arithmetic up
to and including common and decimal
fractions; in geography to bound any
State or Territory and locate the principal rivers, cities, etc., of the world;
to write a legible hand; to read intelligently, and must sign a aeclaratioh to
follow the business of teaching schools
in thi5 Territory.
Pupils may be admitted, however, without signing such declaration on such terms
as the Board of Education may pre&cribe.
Each county in the Territory is entitled
to send pupils in ratio to its re?resentation in the legislature, not to exceed the
number prescribed by the Board.

- 3 J;ach member of the Legislature is
authorized to name one free student Di
ennially from his county. All others are
charged four dollars per month, v1hich must
be paid to the Principal in advance, for de
posit with the Treasurer of the Board.
While students are admitted at eny time
during the year, it is desirable that they
enter at the beginning o:: a term, so as to
be properly classified and be enabled to
pursue the course regularly.
To graduate, the student must be at least
eighteen years of age; must have attended the
school for a period of twenty two weeks, and
must have passed a creditable examination in
all the studies of the required course.
The Normal School is located at Tempe,
Maricopa County, on the line of the Maricopa
& Phoenix Railroad. Its situation is in a
healtlzy locality, and in the midst of a farm
ing country. The v;ater is pure and the climate
compares favorably with that of any other
portion of the Territory.
The School was established in 1885, and,
being practically a new institution, the
Board is determined to spare no pains in
making it a success, and assu1·es the people
of the Territory that the students for the
coming year shall have facilities fo1· learning
equal to many of the olaer institutions of
the OnJ. ted states.
Board and room, including fuel, lights, ~tc.,
can be obtained at from ~20 to ~25 per month.

- 4 The School is now supplied with most of
the apparatus needed for illustrating the
subjects taught. The Board has recently
pu~chased a number of instruments for illustrating the laws of physics.
There should be no need to refer to
the matter of discipline in a Normal
School. Only those will be admitted who
have well formed and correct habits. This
is in no sense a reform school, and young
ladies and gentlemen who are not disposed
to cheerfully submit to all the wholesome
restraints found necessary for the good
reputation of the school will be promptly
dismissed.
Those only who do the work of the class
creditably and show an ability to continue
will be promoted with the class.
No student will be permitted to pass
over the work of any term more than twic~.
The Principal of the School represents
the author! ty of the Board, and is held
responsible for the enforcement of the reg ulations made by the Board for the govern ment of the school. He shall have control of the building, apparatus, books,
etc., as well as the grounds.
