gained that such a number of courses as eight could not
be advantageously arranged, for then several of them
must be held at a time when teachers in active service
could only with great difficulty be absent from their
schools. The number of courses given annually was,
therefore, limited in 1883 to six, in 1884 to five and,
finally, in 1886 to four, two of them being summer
courses and two being held in the winter. At this
number the courses for the present remain. For special
reasons, only 3 courses have been given during each
of the years 1898, 1899, 1901 and 1903. The extension
of the length of the courses from 5 weeks to 6, dates
its beginning from 1884. A further extension of time
would be certainly very desirable, but is rendered
impossible by the great difficulty the teachers would have,
in being away from home and school for a longer
period even should they themselves desire it, a state of
things which is by no means always the case. When
possible, the students in the first course of the year
have, however, been permitted to remain from two to
three or four weeks longer. Up to Course 13, July
19th—August 23, 1882, the courses had included only
men-students, but since the beginning of that course the
institution has admitted women-students too. From 1882
to 1889 the courses were for mixed classes on principle;
but in 1889 the change was made that only
women-students were admitted to one of the winter courses,
while to the other only men-students were accepted,
an arrangement which, it is true, proved to be
advantageous but which it has since been found better
to give up.
