There comes a time in the life of every young person when he must face the problem of choosing a life work. Teaching is one of the best professions in which bright in- telligent young people can engage, but the teaching profes- sion as well as all other professions is now demanding train- ed workers. The mininum salary law which recently passed the legis- lature will, we trust, raise the salaries of the under-paid teacher, but we must supply teachers who can earn the bet- ter salaries. We must have teachers especially trained for the work. When considering the course to pursue next year think of the advantages offered by the Langlade County Training School. It offers an opportunity for young men and young women to become strong in the academic work of the common branches, and this is a useful equipment for any line of work. It also trains them for a definite work and prepares them to go out into the world and compete with their fellow- workers. People are more and more coming to realize that it is as absurd to expect efficient service from an untrained or inex- perienced teacher as from an untrained or inexperienced law- yer or doctor. Do not be deceived by the argument that because a few teachers have succeeded without training that training is therefore unnecessary. We have in mind one teacher who has, after four or five years become very efficient without any training, but she practically failed in her first two or three years' work; and who can measure the harm done the children upon whom she practiced, or the value to herself of the time lost, which with some training might have been successfully employed? 6. Langlade County Training School. One young lady went out from High School and failed to make good, but after one year at a Training School she is one of the strongest teachers in her county. Another teacher, some years ago was teaching without training, but was getting as much for her work as many who were graduates of Normal or other Professional Schools. For a time she thought it was folly to spend her time and money in getting training when some who were trained were getting no better salaries that she was getting, so she continued to teach for several years for $50 per month. Then she more wisely reasoned thus: "If I can do this without training, what might I be able to do with it?" She attended a Professional school. After she graduated her first year's salary was $75 per month, her next $83 1-3, next $100, then $125 and it is still increasing. It pays to become a trained worker. It is not a question of how much you can get along without, but what is the highest possible grade of efficiency which you may attain. The discussions carried on by the different interests which have been asking for a Normal School in this part of the state have clearly shown that the demand for trained teachers is still much greater than the supply. We have heard of many instances where untrained teachers have gone from one county to another seeking schools, giving as the reason for not teaching in their home county, that their county would employ only trained teachers. The reply almost unvariably is, "We also want trained teachers." The greatest advantage of the Training School is that it trains for the specific work which the student expects to do, and happily, much of the training which she gets is along the most practical lines, so it will be of value to her in what- ever work she may engage. While any good, capable, earnest, person may enter and finally complete the work, regardless of past school advan- tages, yet we would advise that all students get at least two years of high school work or its equivalent, before entering Training School, and the best preparation of all is the full high school course. Langlade County Training School. It is needless to dwell further upon the advantages of such a school as this. They are apparent to all and the Langlade County Training School has proven its value to our young people; its graduates are in demand; and its doors are open to all earnest young people who expect to enter up- on a career of teaching. Give the matter your careful consideration and call the at- tention of your friends to this school. SPECIAL COURSE IN AGRICULTURE. As the county has made provision for a County Agricultural Representative for the coming year, we expect to offer through the University of Wisconsin a six or eight weeks' course in Agriculture taught by this representative at the Training School, which will be open to all boys and young men who wish to take advantage of the same. This course will prob- ably be given after the holidays. In order to know how many to provide for, I wish you would spread this information, and have those who wish to take advantage of this course send in an application on the blank furnished for this purpose in the back part of this bulletin. COURSE OF STUDY 1913-1914. A one-year's course of study (Senior Year) is offered to High School graduates, experienced teachers, or those able to do the work in one year. For those not prepared to finish the course in one year, a preliminary year's work (Junior Year) is provided. The following is the course of study: 8. Langlade County T raining School.

Physical Geography — Twenty weeks — optional for Seniors whose work will permit. Rhetoricals — The Longfellow Literary Society and The Lin- coln Lyceum, meet alternately twice a month and furnish nec- essary rhetorical and lyceum work. The Common School Manual is to be considered a supple- mental textbook throughout the course. Passing mark in all subjects, 75 per cent. TEXTBOOKS, SUPPLIES, ETC. All necessary text books and reference books are furnish- ed at a rental of $1.00 per quarter strictly in advance. This fee also includes drawing paper and stationary for test and examination work. Students are requested to bring any text books they may have as they will be valuable for reference The school is nicely situated in commodious quarters on the second floor of the city library. The books of the library are thus convenient for reference at all times. The school is al- so supplied with needed reference books, apparatus and edu- cational collections. A stereopticon with numerous slides for illustrative work is a great help in many studies. Leading professional and periodical literature is at all times present on the reading table. TERMS OF ADMISSION FOR 1913-14. 1. All students enrolled last year but who did not com- plete the work, who showed sufficient strength to continue the course. 2. Students holding a teacher's certificate in this or any 10. Langalde County Training School. other county. 3. Graduates of a graded or high school or the equivalent. 4. Students holding a common school diploma, whose standings are high enough to show sufficient preparation and who are sixteen years of age. 5. Any student, sixteen years of age, or over, may enter on examination, which will be given the first two days of school. NOTE. — Students who are not able to secure a common school diploma or have not finished the eighth grade of the city or are not sixteen years of age need not apply. The age limit may be waived in cases of excellent preparation or unusual maturity, but rarely will this be done. Although the Training School is intended to help all who wish to secure a preparation for successful teaching, the fac- ulty wish it distinctly understood that it is no place for the uniformly weak and poorly prepared student. The require- ments of the course are severe and the time for preparation is very brief. The Training School, then, desires to enroll young ladies and young gentlemen who are strong and con- scientious students. Six year's experience has shown the necessity of enforcing rigid entrance requirements. If in doubt, come and talk the matter over with the County Su- perintendent or with the Principal. The Principal will be at the Training School rooms on Saturday preceding opening of school. Bring standings or diplomas. The state law now requires a certain amount of profession- al training before the granting of even a third-grade certifi- cate — and will gradually require more. The Training School will enable a teacher to meet this requirement. If you wish to teach why not get ready, now? VALUE OF A TRAINING SCHOOL DIPLOMA. A diploma from the school entitles the holder to teach for three years provided that the holder thereof at the end of the first year furnishes satisfactory evidence to the county super- intendent of the success of the first year's work. The county superintendent is also authorized to transfer the Training School standings for the extension of a certificate. Such Langlade County Training School. 11. students as obtain standings in second grade branches, may, before the expiration of the diploma, have a second grade cer- tificate issued and thus secure a license to teach for six years without examination. This diploma represents a year's training in professional studies, which the county cer- tificate does not. If a training school graduate should be a regular high school graduate in addition, the training school certificate is a legal qualification for five years, and also per- mits the holder thereof to become principal of a second class graded school, after one year of successful experience. RELATION TO NORMAL SCHOOLS. Teachers are usually anxious to advance their qualifications to enable them to make progress in their profession. There has been arrangements made with the Normal Schools of Wisconsin whereby the common school graduates who have completed the Training School Course of Study shall, after one year of successful teaching, be given credit not to ex- ceed one and one-half years on the five-year course. Graduates of a four-year High School, who have completed the Training School course shall, after one year of successful teaching, receive one-half year of credit on the ADVANCED COURSE AND MAY GRADUATE FROM THE NORMAL. SCHOOL after doing one and one-half years of work. The Training School diploma is a decided advantage to the prospective teacher. HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES. We especially urge High School graduates the importance of our work for them. For even though they may be famil- iar with the subjects taught them in the course they have completed, experience has shown that they are not familiar with the subjects taught in the rural schools. Neither are they familiar with the best methods of teaching the common school subjects. It is not sufficient to try and remember how you were taught ten years ago, — no young teacher at the present time can safely teach as she was taught ten years ago. 12. Langlade County Training School. The High School graduate who finishes the Training School course has a decided advantage in securing a desirable school. The combined training gives a broader foundation for her work that is recognized by boards of the best schools. Each class has contained a number of high school gradu- ates and in every case they have expressed themselves as much pleased with the help received in academic work, in methods and in inspiration and better appreciation of the honorable and important work of teaching a rural school. CONCLUDING SUGGESTIONS. If you expect, then, to teach or desire to become a better teacher, and thus command better positions and are unable to at once take a full Normal School course we urge the spe- cial opportunities offered by the Langlade County Training School. The faculty of the school cooperates with the County Su- perintendent in every possible way to help all teachers and all schools in the county. This is done by correspondence (always invited), visitation, consultation and at evening in- spiration meetings in all parts of the county. In other words the school desires to become more and more an educational center for Langlade County — a place where the teacher can always feel sure of sympathy and help in solving the prob- lems of her school room work. INFORMATION. Tuition is free to all residents of the County. If the stu- dent comes from a county where there is no Training School this fee is paid by the home county. Students from counties having Training School must pay their own tuition. For information in regard to board or rooms or any infor- mation in regard to the school, write to Principal W. E. Swit- zer or Superintendent A. M. Arveson. Good board can be had for $2.50 to $3.00 per week. Suitable places can be secured where young ladies can receive board in return for household duties. Expense can also be reduced in case two or more young ladies rent rooms and board themselves. Persons ex- pecting to attend should fill out enclosed blank at once and mail it to Principal W. E. Switzer, Antigo, Wis. Langlade County Training School. 13. CLASS OF 1907. Occupation the past year. Anna Brennan, (Mrs. Wm. Soman). ...Home City of Antigo Jessie Bottrell, (Mrs. Al.
