State Normal School
Athens, Georgia

A state institution devoted to the training and preparing of city and country 
teachers for the schools of Georgia.  Beautifully located on the highest point 
in Clarke County and on a ridge between the two branches of the Oconee River.  
Pronounced by Dr. Wm T. Harris as one of the sixteen best Normal Schools in 
the United States. 

Offers an Industrial Course leading to a Diploma in Household Arts, Manual 
Arts or Agriculture.  Offers an Academic Course leading to a regular Academic 
Diploma.  The Diploma of the School enables its graduates to each in the 
schools of the state without further examination.  In addition, there is a 
full year review course in Common School subjects to prepare applicants for 
license to stand the state examinations. 

Seventeen departments, all officered by the best teachers procurable, and 
fifty-six teachers and instructors.  The departments include all subjects 
usually taught in the schools of Georgia or offered in Normal Schools 
elsewhere. 

Practice teaching in a model city school of eight grades, and a model country 
school of seven grades, both on the grounds. 

Annual enrollment exceeds eight hundred students, and all ex-students so far 
as known, who desire employment, are at work in the schools, still the demand 
for trained teachers cannot be met. Tuition practically free. Expenses less 
than $150.00 a year.  Four comfortable dormitories and excellent board.  
Tables supplied from our own gardens and dairy.
