The fourth normal school was established in 1875. It is situated
in a beautiful little city on the C., St. P., M. & O. R.
R.,
its location being in an attractive and picturesque country,
well settled and prosperous. The city of River Falls is a city
of homes and in it the students find ideal conditions for the
prosecution of the purposes for which the school in maintained.
The normal school building is conveniently situated on a beautiful
campus in the edge of the city and affords attractive views of
the surrounding country. It is a model in its heating, lighting,
and ventilation, as well as in all other conditions favorable
to health and comfort.
There are three departments in the school: the Normal, the
Preparatory, and the Model. The courses of study in the
Normal department are the same as those in other Wisconsin
Normals offering four years of work. A complete Manual Training
Course (Sloyd) affords a part of the work in the Model Grades,
while a successful Kindergarten is carried on as a preliminary
to the other grade work.
