On Thanksgiving, we were talking about how much debt students today are graduating with, a conversation that brought this 1910 ad to mind... Probably anyone who knows St Cloud knows SCSU (St Cloud State University), and that it began as something called a "Normal School". According to wikipedia, "A normal school was a school created to train high school graduates to be teachers. Its purpose was to establish teaching standards or norms, hence its name".
Imagine-- "Tuition is free to all who pledge themselves to teach at least two years in the state". Wow.
(You're welcome...☺)
