c. Faculty. There should be two failry separate and dis-

rated on the same basis, but not as a Junior College.
The teaching staff in the high school department should
hold standard state high school teachers' certificates.
3. Practice School. In addition to the faculties named above
it is desirable that there shall be an elementary public school
nearby owned and supported mainly by the County or City public
school authorities. The teaching staff in this practice school
should be under the supervision of the principal of the Normal
School and their salaries supplemented by State Normal School
funds. Such a school is essential as a very important part of a
teacher-training institution.
d. School Year. There are four quarters of twelve weeks
each in our other Normal Schools. The regular school year
begins early in September and continues thirty-six weeks - three
terms of twelve weeks each, - fall, winter and spring terms.
There is a summer term of twelve weeks, divided into two summer
school terms of six weeks each.
