Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Catalog of the State Normal School, St. Cloud, Minn., For the School Year Ending May 20, 1912: With Annual Announcement for the Year 1912-1913 The aim ot this school is to qualify young people for the teaching service of the State of Minnesota. To the extent that the purpose of an organization determines its character, all the work of the school is professional. It does not give general culture for its own sake. It does not aim to prepare young men and women for college nor for the general pursuits of life. The school does not give general culture. Those who complete its full course, are given two years' credit at the State University. Professional work upon the 'common school branches and other subjects includes a preparation for business. The moral education which qualifies young men and women to be safe guides for the state's children is a good prepara tion for complete living, and is beneficial in all walks of life. These results, however, though actual and abundant, are incidental to the primary purpose of the school. The constantly increasing demand for better schools gives rise to an urgent demand for more teachers who have received adequate training and preparation for their work. It is the special function of the Normal School to supply this demand. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
