” ‘The Oglethorpe Practice School with an enrollment this year of twenty-eight in the kindergarten and one-hundred and eighteen in the grades, continues to prove its greatest worth as a means of training teachers.  The Practice School is in charge of Miss Alexander Thomas, with Miss Gertrude H. Ware as teacher of kindergarten.  The Senior Normal students and two of the recent graduates assist in the care and teaching of the Oglethrope School children.  We have this year added a fifth grade, which accounts for the increased number of children.’ ”
