Excerpt from The Induction of Professor John S. Hart as Principal of the Model School: August 26, 1862 Encouraged by the favor of an intelligent and liberal community, the Board of Trustees feel that the time has now come to take another forward step in the develop ment of its resources. They desire to enlarge its scope as an element of the Normal School system, by such a reorganization as shall secure ample illustrations of the most approved methods in every grade of instruction, from the Primary to the High school. They are anxious more closely to identify it with the interests of all classes of our institutions of learning, by providing parallel courses of study, and developing therein the best models of teaching known to the profession.
