BLOOMSBURG LITERARY INSTITUTE 8 Outline ol Four Years' Normal School Course As finally revised and adopted December 30th, 1910. This course is based on the "unit" plan as proposed by The Carnegie Foundation. "A unit" represents a year's study in any subject in a secondary school, constituting appraximately a quarter of a work. (This statement full year's designed to afford a standard of measIt takes in a secondary school. the four- year high school course as a basis and assumes that the length of the school year is from thirty-six to forty weeks; that a period is from forty to sixty minutes in length, and that the study is pursued for four or five periods a week but, under ordinary circumstances, a satisfactory year's work in any subject can not be accomplished in less than one hundred and twenty sixty minute hours or their equivalent. Schools organized on a different basis can nevertheless estimate their work in terms of this unit). Students admitted to the First Year shall have a fair knowledge of Arithmetic, Reading, Orthografy, Penmanship, United States History, Geografy, Grammar, Physiology, Test by Civics, and the elements of Algebra to Quadratics.

The aim of the school in this department is to make wellrounded men and women, such as are needed to guide the development of children. All the departments of the school cooperate to this end by insisting on thorough scholarship. Thruout, emphasis is placed on the development of power to do, and on ideals to be followed. The Junior Class makes a careful study of school sani- tation, including plans of buildings, grounds, etc., and the general conditions for the successful organization and man- agement of a school. The Second Year Class takes an elementary survey of the principles of General Method, considering the aims of Education, the problems of Interest, Apperception, Correlation, etc., with special method work in Reading, Penmanship and other elementary subjects not otherwise provided for in the regular schedule.
