To the High School Pupils and their
Parents:
Eight years ago the Board of Educa
tion Introduced tho Normal Training
Course into the North Platte High
school for the purpose of training tho
pupils of that course to bo more ef
ficient teachers upon graduating
from tho High school. Four years ago
the board Introduced the Commercial
course for the purpose of training
boys and girls In business and office
methods and procedure and especial
ly In aliort hand and typewriting.
Since tho Introduction of the commer
cial course tho Interest in tho normal
course has lessened nnd It Is to this
condition I wish to call your atten
tion. Wo have un oviV-aupply of
stenographers nnd would-be stenog
raphers In North Platte and tho rural
schools of this county aro sending
nway for ther teachers. A boy or girl
who completes the Normal training
course nnd has a reasonable amount of
brains and gumption can upon grad
uation engage- to teach a country
school paying not less than $45 a month
while some of our studonts havo gono
from our high school Into teaching po
sitions paying as high as $G5 a month.
And they make good teachers, too,
among the best thoro are. We havo
both courses to offer and ono docs not
cost more than the other but It seems
to us that a larger number of those
who aro thinking of enrolling for tho
Commercial courso should consider
tho advantages, of tho normnl train
ing course beforo deciding for good
Many of the fathers and mothers aro
Indifferent to what choice their chil
dren make and theso children aro of
ten Influenced by' tho fascination of
ninklng a typowrltcr go or some other
equally unimportant cause. All wo
wish to do is to call tho attention of
the high .school pupils and their par
puts to this matter and leave the choice
to them after they have investigated
it. Wo aro as much Interested in one
course ns the other.
