COURSE
SOUTH WESTERN

NORMAL COLLEGE.

OF INSTRUCTION.

There are two kinds of Courses of Instruction: the SCIENTIFIC
and CLASSICAL. That part of the Scientific Course ext~ndin~ to
the Junior Year constitutes the ELEMENTAltYCOURSE,III which
students who do not choose to prosecute their studies farther, can
graduate. The Preparator:y Year ~s d~signed for those who, on
enterinz the school arc quite deficient in knowledge of' the most
'" branches.,
elementary

THE labor of founding this Institution has been begun at California, Washington County, Pennsylvania, in the earnest desire to
promote the qualifications of that worthy and useful class, Common
School Teachers. The Institution was chartered by Act of Legislature, approved March 16th, 1865. A building fund of, at least,
$50,000 is being subscribed for the purpose of erecting elegant and
capacious structures on a site of ten acres now purchased. It is the
intention from the beginning to offer the institution as soon as prepared to the proper authorities for acceptance as a State Normal
School. This will be done at the very earliest day at which the
work can be accomplished.
The friends of the enterprise believe that the teacher is the
great center which supports the Common School System, and which
gives thereto whatever efficiency that system may possess. The
common school cause is reprobated, because teachers are not capable
to execute the standard demand of the public. Because they are
lacking, a most Christian and gigantic cause is held in disrespect.
Yet little blame can attach itself to the teacher; and censure must
not be directed against him. Opportunities for professional culture,
thus far, have not been presented to him; and no duty is more
plainly incumbent on the State and on society than the establishment and support of Normal Schools.
'1'0 elevate the profession of Teaching to popular respect and
honor, to aid teachers in the attainment of a noble, independent
and professional character, and thereby to augment the benefits of
Popular Education, are the aims and motives of those who are endeavoring to found the South Western Normal College. They do
not design less than a first class school, thoroughly equipped and
ably administered; and they rely for a successful result on their
own industry, on the liberality of' men of wealth who have an abiding faith in the system of Public Instruction, as well as on the cooperation of those for whose immediate sake their labors have been
begun.

Students having passed through the Elementary Course, and sustaining an approved examination) will receive a Diploma with the
Degree of Bachelor of Elementary Didactics-B. E. D. The Dip.
lomas of those graduating in the Scientific and Classical Courses
will constitute their holders, re pectively, Bachelor of Scientific
Didactics, and Bachelors of Classical Didactic (B. S. D. and B. C.
D.).
Regular graduates who have practiced their profession during
two annual terms in the Common School of the State, may receive
second Diplomas, constituting them MASTERS in their respective
courses, with the Professional Degree of M. E. D., M. S. D. and M.
C.D.
FACILITH':S.
The Profession of Didactics consists of-I.
A Cemplete Knowledge of the Branches to be Taught; 2. The Science of Education;
3. The Art of Teaching.
The means to impart qualifications in
these separate divisions of Didactic Science arcI. CLASSRECITATIONS,by which a deep and comprehen ive acquaintance with the subject to be taught, is gained. The first indispensable qualification with every teacher is to know and under-

Thoroughness, requiring full, searching and systematic recitations,
by which is obtained satisfactory knowledge; since the mind has no
pleasure in a partial, confused view of a subject, and cannot be
benefited thereby.
II. Trrz STUDYOF PROFESSIONALWORKS. These books treat
of Education as a science in a philosophic manner. This science
has three general divisions, which respectively treat of: 1st. The
Faculties and Powers of j1[an, as the subject to be educated j 2d. The
Laws that regulate the growth and development of these powers j
3d. All the Educationai Instrumentaiities and Forces that bear on
the human being. The e divisions are very thoroughly and systematically considered by a number of standard authors; and the
studcnt who becomes the possessor of these principles makes a great
advancement in his professional qualifications.
III. LECTURESBY EXPERIENCEDEDUCATORS. These Lectures
will occupy the same field as the Profes ional Treatises. There is,
i however, the unwritten experience of the whole profession, forming no inconsiderable portion of the science, which it is the design
of the e Lectures to bring out and spread before the attention of
the student.
IV. PRACTICEIN THE MODELSCHOOLS. Through this agency
a knowledge of the Art of Teaching is to be acquired; though the
other features will contribute largely to a knowledge of this also.
The divisions of the Art are: Ist, Sehoul Organization j 2d.
!I School Government j 3d. Imparting Knowledge. The rules of the
! Art will be communicated by the Professional Works and by the
Lectures. The pupil-teachers will, by their own class recitations,
receive much information on the subject of giving instruction; for
in them they will be carried over and throuzh the sciences which
they are to teach in such a way as best to ilIu trate the true rules
which are to guide them in their own practice. But the Model
School affords the opportunities to get absolute experience in teachI
ing and to reduce the various theories to application. The Model
I SChool is to the student of Didactics what the Mock Court, the
I Trial Sermon, and the Dissecting Table, are to the student of Law,
! of Divinity, and of Iedicine respectively. Perhaps, also, as much
! value will be derived from the observation and study of the Model
1
School, as a model, as from the management of the school in the
learner's own hands.
V. THE LIBRARYANDREADI G ROOMis an important auxiliary.
The student will find here all the School Journals as well as the
permanent publications of Educational Literature.
He will thus
be enabled to observe the workings of the great School System in
the
several States of the Union, and to become familiar with the ')

Most of the books used by the Classes are named in connection
with the branches laid down in the Course of Study. Anthon's
Classics will be generally used; but a change of editor in some of
,. the Readings will take place Students should bring with them all
! their text-books; some of them may be of the kind used in the
School; and if not, they will be convenient for reference. Every
student should have on his table a Bible, a Quarto Dictionary,

Boarding Hall. The present price of boarding per week is from
$3.50 to $4.00. Washing, 80 cents per dozen. Students provide
their own light. These prices seem hieh j but a consideration of
their relation to all things else will sho~ them to be moderate indeed. At no time hitherto could a Farmer educate his son and
daug~te: at a less amount of the farm products than at the present.
A limited number of such as may wish to board themselves, can
find accommodations by writing some time in advance of their
coming. They will then be informed of what articles they must
bring .with them. This method reduces the expense to one-half of
boarding j and encouragement therein is ziven to younG' ladies of
indigent circumstances j but to young men it is not reco~mended.

LOCATION.

.California is beautifully situated on the Monongahela river, 55
miles from Pittsburgh.
It is a very pleasant borough of quite
recent g:owth j and the surrounding country is picturesque, healthy
and fertile. Four U. S. Mail Packets ply daily between Pittsburgh
and Brownsville, stopping on all trips at the wharf of California.
Thc National Road from Wheeling to Cumberland is but three
miles distant j and lines of stages afford communication with the
whole country. Students having rail road connections with Pittsburgh, will do best to go there, and then take at the Ionongahela
Wharf one of the Packets, which depart three times a day-at 8
A. iYL, 12 M. and 6 P. 1\1., and arrive in six or seven hours. Those
who come by stage can stop at Malden, three miles distant, and
walk or obtain a private conveyance j or they can go to Brownsville,
and come down on the boats, distance 5 miles.

MISCELLANEOUS.

THE GOVERN)IENT IS mild and parental, but decisive. The
regulations are less designed as fetters of free will than as counsels
for guidance. Correct deportment, the formation of good habits,
a close application to study, and prompt and conscientious discharge
of present duty, are rthe aims.
MORALINFJ,UENCEand good associations surround the school.
The Borough contains no saloon or bar-room j and the selling of
liquor is not permitted witbin the corporation. 'I.'here are several
organizatious of different Christian denominations. Daily Chapel
service is conducted j and a Bible class is held every Sabbath
morning. Students are required to attend service on the Sabbath;
i but free choice of their place of worship is given,
'
PHYSICALCULTUREis not disregarded; and the cardinal rUl:Jsof
life and health are enjoined. Information upon diet, exercise, pure

air, and other conditions of well-being, is g-iven as circumstances
may suggest. Classes in gymnastics are formed j and a Gymnasium will in time be built.
LITERARY~lEETI:\GS are maintained by the students at rezular
intervals.
0
EXAMINATIONSare held at the commencement of a session to
ascer t iin the qualifications of students in order that they may be
properly classified. Class examinations are held at the close of
each session, at which all students are required to be present.
.LETTERP should be frequently written to the student by his
friends at home. They will do much to alleviate home-sickness
besides being the most excellent medium for communicating encoura.l!elllent and counsel. 'l'he Principal will take pleasure in
replying to any letters sent him concerning children at school.
1"1 USI.C,Vocal and Instruwental, is systematically taught by competent instructors.
FRENcrr and GERMANare taught as extra studies.
PROFESSIONAI,EnUGATIO;,\in all the departments of the Science
and Art of Teaching is the specialty of the Institution.
Norrnal
Schools ~re a nece sity. Various efforts in attempting to effect the
preparatiou of teachers by our collcccs
and seminaries have resulted
o
OD ly in disappointment.
And now the "N crural Departments" of
these iustitutions generally exist only in name. The studentteacher receives no treatment essentially different from the ceueral
mass of their students; and to become thoroughly prepared, he
eventually mu-t seek a Normal School. N umerous zruduates of
Female Seminaries have been in attendance here.
b
ApPLICATION~FOR TEACHERSare frequently made by School
Officers.. We will always take pains to publish such applications j
though It cannot be expected that we will encourasre students to
quit the institution before the session ends
More than oue-half

~ustice, regarded as better teachers-other
th.ngs being equal; but
It must not be suppcsed that nOlle fail, or that ull who attend three
or six months, can be made good teachers.
