The state normal school located in Milwaukee was authorized
by an act of the legislature in 1880. The school was
formally opened in September, 1885. The total enrollment
during the year was, in the normal department, forty-six. The
enrollment during the year 1906-1907 was, in the same department,
427.
This school offers four courses of study: English, Latin,
German, and a Kindergarten Training course. In the English
course are several groups of elective studies which make
it possible for a student to specialize to some extent. The English
course is the equivalent of the last two years of the full English
course in the other normal schools, while the Latin and German
courses are the equivalent of the last two years of these courses
in the other schools except that four years' preparatory work
is required in the Latin and two in the German, respectively,
to enter those courses.
The Kindergarten Training course is designed especially to
give training to students who desire to fit themselves for
Kindergarten work. No other normal school in the state offers
a kindergarten training course.
All students entering the school must have completed a high
school course in one of the four years' course high schools,
or have equivalent preparation.
No elementary or preparatory course is connected with the
school.
Students have an opportunity to do practice work in the public
schools of the city.
