JIlHIS Institution, usually called the" South- Western State Normal School," is one of twelve schools having the powers and privileges of State Normal Schools under the laws of Pennsylvania. There are in the State thirteen "Normal School Districts," in each of which, except the fourth, a school has been established. The first of these schools to receive" recognition" as a State Normal was the one at Millersville, Lancaster county, in 1859. This school was officially recognized in 1874, as the State Normal School for the Tenth District, composed of the counties of Washington, Fayette, Greene and Somerset. The South-western State Normal School is the outgrowth of an Academy, first opened in 1851, two years after the laying out of the borough of California. A bill incorporating the California Academy with the privileges of a State Normal School was vetoed by Governor Packer in 1859. In 1865 the school was chartered under the name of "South-western Normal College." The corner-stone of the present Main· Building was laid by Governor John W. Geary, August 26th, 1868. The Main Building was first used for school purposes in 1870. The Ladies' Dormitory was first used about four years later, and the Gentlemen's Dormitory about six years later. The business affairs of each State Normal School are managed by a board of eighteen trustees, two thirds of whom are elected by stockholders (or contributors), and one-third appointed by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Every student of a State Normal School, above seventeen years of age, intending to teach in the common schools of Pennsylvania, . is entitled to receive fifty cents a week towards defraying expense of tuition; and each graduate who agrees to teach two years, receives a cash bonus of fifty dollars. A great majority of graduates teach more than the required time, and very many adopt teaching as their life-work. (Final Examination to b~ held Jun~ I9t1,.)
