I not only agree with everything that Auditor General Sisson has said, but I will go further than he did. Too much cannot be said of the importance of education, moral and secular, in the cause of good citizenship. “Now that I am here, and I am glad I am, I want to say something that will encourage you who are about to enter the teachers’ profession. It is one of the greatest professions in the world. It is in your power to do great good because you take the embryo citizen in the formative period when he can be made somebody or let go to be a know-nothing and a do-nothing. You who teach are the architects of the mind and the character and you can set the pupil on the way to higher ideals in life. “But, when you become a teacher, you must be content to live in pretty moderate circumstances. You must be content to get along without luxuries. You must be content to live a life of usefulness, knowing that your greatest reward will come from the knowledge that you have done your duty, that you have added your mite to the betterment of the human race and that you have made those you taught better men and better women. The consciousness of having done your duty and of seeing where your efforts have helped somebody else makes your life well worth living and it is better than anything money can buy. “I am 55 years old and I have lived long enough to find out many things that you will learn as you grow older. The greatest asset you have is character and with character you will be able to play your part in a worthy manner. So, standing shoulder to shoulder in the cause of education, you can do wonders to help in the cause and you can say when you are done: ‘T have done my little and for that I deserve credit.’ ■t^i . “’teachers begin life in a spirit of self sacrifice. In the Philippines we had a great problem. We had a million children to teach. They spoke sixteen different dialects, none of which was fit for the use of civilized people. Only seven per cent spoke Spanish. We decided to teach them English. We had a thousand teachers, most of them young women, all from the United States. Now we have a teaching body of about 800 Americans and some 8,000 natives and the English' language is becoming the language of the Orient. Those teachers have already earned the right to say that they have lived a life that has been useful and that they have contributed to a result that IS an everlasting credit to the nation. “Young Ladies and Gentlemen, I honor and you should honor the profession yon are about to enter. I congratulate you and I thank you. ’ THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL j* STATE BOARD OF EXAMINERS 1913 Dr. Thomas S. March, Department of Public Instruction. Dr. E. L.

As such it is an ideal home for the teachers’ training school that proposes to equip men and women for the school work of that section of the State. The village is twenty miles from Erie and seven miles from Cambridge Springs. It is connected with these towns by an interurban car line with hourly service. It is but a step, then, from the great railway systems of the Middle West and at the same time enjoys a pleasant remoteness, a slight seclusion, that is thoroughly con­ sistent with good student work. THE VILLAGE he village is progressive. Its influences are for good. It has an old and well established citizenship. It was founded in 1796 by sturdy New England stock whose mark is readily traced in the community to-day. The village bears the inevitable stamp of the school town; it has been known as a place of learning for many years. T THE LAKE ake Edinboro lies just north of the village. Exactly what part it has played in the last fifty years in the spirit and tradition of the school would be hard to esti­ mate. It is a charming sheet of fresh water, the second largest in the State, and calls visitors from many miles around. It affords a restful field for recreation with its boating, bathing, and fishing. L Page nine ]1 M THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL ____ THE SCHOOL he early establishment of an academy in 1857 was a manifestation of the pioneer spirit that characterized T all early American life. Somebody has said that our pioneers always built a church at one end of their town and a school at the other. In such spirit was the academy founded in 1857. It became the Edinboro State Normal School in 1861. For fifty-two years it has held a high place in the educational life of its particular district; while its sons and daughters have held posi­ tions of trust from one end of the land to the other. PURPOSE he primary purpose of the school is the training of teachers. In a more particular sense it plans to equip teachers for the Twelfth Normal School District, which embraces the counties of Lawrence, Mercer, Venango, Crawford, and Erie. There is in the right sort of normal school not only the specific and technical train­ ing, but also a training along broad and cultural lines that must be the basis of all effective teaching and the basis of life as well. If the schools are to meet the needs of the people and be in close sympathy with common life, the teachers must be people trained not only in mathematics but in manhood, not only in literature but in life. The fact that the mass of the older alumni of the school are engaged in all the varied fields of life is but proof of the efficiency of the normal school. Broadly speaking, therefore, there are two aims in the purpose of the Edinboro State Normal School: to send its graduate out with a confidence born of a thorough knowledge of method and of matter; and in the second place, to imbue him with the spirit of the T Pag! ttn THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL true teacher—the teacher who can thrill his pupils with glimpses of new horizons and broader visions. THE FACULTY or the accomplishment of this chief aim of the school, the Board of Trustees maintains a faculty consisting F of experienced teachers that are not only leaders in their various departments, but are also able demonstrators of method. They are men of wide training in American colleges and universities, and above all are men whose hearts are in their work. While there is a special depart­ ment devoted to the technical phases of method, each class is a practical laboratory of demonstration. THE STUDENTS fter a visitor has seen the recitation rooms, the library, and the dormitories, after he has inter­ viewed the faculty and the trustees, he will not be said to know the school unless he sees the students them­ selves. In inviting the young men and the young women of the Twelfth Normal School District to join the students at Edinboro, the authorities feel that in the earnest company of students is the chief lure. When all is said, it is on the students that the real worth of the school must rest; and in the Edinboro State Normal School there is, by the common consent of all who know, a splendid body of students. A “STUDENT INTERESTS” ttQtudent interests” is a name that has arisen in the O last generation to describe the phases of student activities that are not especially directed by the faculty. Page eleven I THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL It embraces all forms of athletics, dramatic interests, and student publications. In all these branches the students at the Edinboro State Normal School maintain vigorour and healthful activities. The gymnasium and athletic teams are intended to benefit the entire body of students, the dramatic and publication fields are open to those who have particular interest in these departments. In this group must also be placed the orchestra, the literary societies, the Young Women’s Christian Associa­ tion, and the Young Men’s Christian Association. All of these organizations are well supported and add much to the school life. DISCIPLINE he institution is maintained for the students. Only such regulations are made as tend to serve the wel­ fare of its patrons. Discipline is as nearly voluntary as possible. Students are expected to conduct themselves as would be fitting for those entering one of the noblest vocations of men. LIVING t has been said that, he is a wise man who knows how to rest wisely. In Reeder and Haven Halls the boys and girls at Edinboro have the advantages of a home atmosphere, and of association with cultured men and women. The authorities endeavor to maintain during study hours the best possible conditions for study; out­ side of study hours, they endeavor just as earnestly to maintain an atmosphere of happy contentment, in sur­ roundings that are inspiring and uplifting. The “weekly sing,” just after supper on Thursday night, has become a feature of Edinboro life. I Page twelve NORMAL HALL THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL GROUNDS AND BUILDINGS he campus of the school embraces thirty-one acres of pleasantly situated land. On it may be found speci­ mens of practically all the native trees—many of which represent over half a century of growth. Their care is the particular pride of certain officers of the school; their beauty constitutes no small part of the agreeable setting of the buildings. In addition to the carefully graded and well kept lawns, there are several tennis courts and a large athletic field. At the rear of the campus is the productive model farm. The buildings are nine in number, besides the thoroughly modern heating plant and electric power house. In order of their age they are; COMMERCIAL HALL Commercial Hall is the original academy building. It was erected in 1857. It stands at the northwest corner of the campus. It is a substantial frame building which houses the two literary society halls and the commercial department. Care has kept it in perfect condition, a useful memorial of the days of the foundation. SCIENCE HALL Science Hall, a frame building, was constructed in 1858. It accommodates the physical and chemical labo­ ratories, the large examination hall, a large lecture room, and various rooms for supplies. While the old hall will undoubtedly make way for a new science hall in the near future, it will be long before its lines of happy sym­ metry and general air of quaintness will fade from the minds of those who know it. Page thirteen THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL SOUTH HALL South Hall is the last of the old dormitories. Built in i860, it was the center of school life for many genera­ tions. It has been abandoned as a student dormitory since the building of the modern halls. It is now used for storage, and as a home for the caretakers of the other halls. Old South Hall, with its great chimneys, forms a picturesque background for the newer group of buildings. MUSIC HALL Well separted from the other buildings. Music Hall affords an admirable home for the department of music. It was built in 1862, and remodeled in 1878. It con­ tains a pleasant assembly hall, practice rooms, and in­ structors’ studios. NORMAL HALL Normal Hall was built in 1875. In 1891 it was greatly enlarged. It contains the chapel, the library, and the executive offices of the school. It is the largest building of the group. The seating capacity of the chapel is over one thousand. RECITATION HALL Recitation Hall is a monument to the originality of J. A. Cooper, ex-Principal of the normal school, who for thirty years was the best known man in common school life of Western Pennsylvania. It has six pleasant recita­ tion rooms. All the rooms on the first floor open out of doors so that it is impossible for a student to pass from one class to another without going into the fresh air. It was built in 1880. Page fourteen THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL HAVEN HALL In 1903 a modern dormitory for the young women was constructed. It is a four-story structure of sub­ stantial quality. Steam heat and electric light render the hall very comfortable. Its direction and care both aim to make it a real home for the young women. The dining hall, for both boys and girls, occupies the first, or base­ ment floor. THE GYMNASIUM The Gymnasium, built in 1906, is a thoroughly modern and practical building, with excellent equipment in the way of locker rooms, baths, and apparatus. As the center of athletic interests, it fulfills its purpose in ministering to the needs of the physical side of school life. REEDER HALL Reeder Hall, named in honor of one of the early builders of the school, is the latest of the group. It was completed in 1907. It consists of three stories given over to dormitory purposes for the boys; a large and well lighted basement makes a practical home for the manual training department. Here, as in Haven Hall, the aim is to make pleasant the social life of the students. As great a measure of liberty is allowed as is consistent with the rights of all the young men who occupy it. a: Page afteen THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL COURSES OF STUDY FOR THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL Note—This course is based on the “unit” plan as pro­ posed by The Carnegie Foundation. A “unit” represents a year’s study in any subject in a secondary school constituting approximately a quarter of a full year’s work. This statement is designed to afford a standard of measurement for the work done in a secondary school. It takes the four-year high school course as a basis, and assumes that the length of the school years is from thirtysix 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 cannot be ac­ complished in less than one hundred and twenty sixtyminute 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, orthography, penman­ ship, United States history, geography, grammar, physi­ ology, civics, and the elements of algebra to quadratics.

Page twenty-eight lit THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL DEPARTMENT OF PEDAGOGY (Theory and Practive of Teaching) Mr. Walk, Miss Sturgeon, Mr. La Bounty, Mr. Siddell, Mr. Baker The prime purposes of this department are: I. To give the student a clear insight into the character of the fundamental problems of modern educational principle and practice. Special stress is laid on the value of the various subjects of the school curriculum gauged m terms of their ability to satisfy real needs of life. II. To provide the conditions whereby the student may demonstrate by observation and practice his fitness or unfitness for the actual work of teaching. The accomplishment of these purposes is performed through the following means: A. By thorough study of those branches that con­ stitute the ground-work for all professional theory and method worthy of the name, viz.. 1. General and Special Methods. 2. Psychology. 3. The History of Education. B. By practice embracing; 1. Observation of illustrative lessons as taught by critic teacher. 2. Observation of lessons taught by regular student teachers. Page twenty-nine THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL 3. Written and oral reports on these observa­ tions. 4. Complete control of a class, under immedi­ ate supervision of the management, for at least twenty weeks. THEORY AND METHODS OP TEACHING I. General and Special Methods. The work in general methods supplements in­ struction in special methods, and relates to the fundamental problems of school organization and management. Courses in special methods have to do with the proper presentation of sub­ ject matter chiefly in the primary grades, as reading, penmanship, etc. An important feature of instruction in general methods is the treat­ ment of educational ideas representative of the progressive tendencies of the times. Great em­ phasis is laid upon the aims of education, and upon its results as stated in terms of individual and social efficiency. At every stage of the study a definite attempt is made to correlate the instruction in general methods directly with the classroom instruction done by senior normal students in the model school. Courses in school management proper cover such topics as school economy, discipline, the recitation, moral instruction, the school law, etc. Suggested texts: “Classroom Management,” Bagley; “How to Study and Teaching How to Study,” McMurry; “Special Methods for the Recitation,” McMurry; “A Brief Course in the Pag0 thirty THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL Teaching Process,” Strayer; “Teaching a Dis­ trict School,” Dinsmore; Seeley; White. II: Psychology. Instruction in psychology is designed to fulfill three distinct and indispensable aims: A. To give the student, by means of class dis­ cussion and experimental work, a clear understanding of the great principles underlying mental activity in general. B. To examine these principles with special reference to their bearing upon the study of the child mind. C. To apply these mental laws as directly and emphatically as possible to the art of teaching, as interpreted in the light of modern educational theory. Suggested texts: “Briefer Course,” James; Betts; Baldwin; Thorndyke; “Psychology in the Schoolroom,” Dexter and Garlick. III. The History of Education. The chief purpose of this study is to estab­ lish an understanding of present educational ideals, practices, tendencies, and problems. This is accomplished A. By an interpretation of educational tradi­ tions, and an explanation of their relation­ ship to modern needs and conditions. B. By giving a proper perspective, that enables a student to adjust means to ends, and to maintain a happy balance as between ex­ treme in either theory or practice. ' Page thirty-one THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL C. By assisting the student to formulate ideals or standards of action that will guide his instruction in the concrete work of the classroom. Suggested texts: Seeley; Painter; Kemp; “Brief Course in the History of Education,” Monroe. PRACTICE OF TEACHING The practice of teaching in all its phases is per­ formed in direct connection with the model school. The primary aim of the model school is, of course, to give the pupils in attendance instruction in the regular subjects of the school curriculum equal in worth to that which may be obtained anywhere. Its secondary aim, and one inseparable from the first, is to promote the teaching efficiency of the normal school graduates. The model school consists of ten grades. The work covers the regular primary, grammar, and high school courses. Instruction in music, drawing, penmanship, physical training and German is supervised directly by the several members of the faculty who teach those sub­ jects in the normal school. As already indicated, the attempt of the management is to unite the best elements of a model school with the most approved features of a practice school, and by a system of careful administration and supervision the in­ terests of both pupils and student teachers are promoted without detriment to either one or the other of these two classes. Most emphatically this model-practice school is not a mere laboratory for experimentation. Rather is it a place where pupils get thorough instruction under Page thirty-two HAVEN HALL —KuPPer supervision of specialists, and where teachers test, through application to the problems of school-room routine, the value of theory previously received. A. Observation. Observation is based on three syllabi, entitled respectively conditions for work, the class, and the teacher. From these syllabi certain items are assigned for each week’s work. Weekly meet­ ings are held, and written reports, summarizing in concise, systematic form, the record of the week’s observation, are submitted, read, and analyzed. The subject matter from which as­ signments are made is printed on only the first page of the syllabus, the remaining three pages being left blank for the report above-mentioned. Each observer is required to retain a permanent file of his reports for reference use in teaching. Reports of the observers are analyzed also at the regular recitations of the normal school classes in methods. Members of the senior class who are doing practice teaching thus profit by critcism or commendation put in direct, specific form. No pains are spared to relate the results of observation immediately and vitally to class­ room intruction. B. Student Teaching. Each senior student in the normal school is required to do one hour of teaching or observa­ tion daily throughout the entire year. Students designated for teaching are assigned to their respective grades and subjects with as much care as possible. Regard is had for Page thirty-three 0 - THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL academic qualifications and previous experience, and these, together with personality, are made the basis for assignments. One of the features making most strongly for co-ordination in teaching activities is that of the lesson plan. At the beginning of each week every student teacher is required to submit a program embodying a definite scheme for each day’s instruction, and covering the following points: (i) subject-matter to be presented; (2) specific aim of the lesson as correlated with and distinct from the general aim; (3) drill; how much and on what points? (4) method of presentation: use of illustration, devices, etc.; (5) review—how much and on what points? The approval of this lesson is a prerequisite to the week’s work. Each teacher is thus re­ quired to systematize his instruction, and the drill he obtains thereby is an invaluable pedagogical discipline. Besides this, the lesson plan gives coherency, unity, and singleness of aim to the entire system of instruction. All teaching done in the model school is supervised closely by the superintendent and his associates. It is felt that no arbitrary device or method, howsoever much merit it may possess, can ensure good instruction unless supplemented by the strictest supervision possible. ir Page thirty-four i THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL DEPARTMENT OF LATIN Mr. Barnes and Mr. Sackett, Miss Swenarton, Miss Roberts From the beginning accuracy in pronunciation and in knowledge of inflectional forms is rigidly required. The work of the entire first year is designed to render the student sufficiently familiar with accidence and element­ ary constructions to enable him to begin the reading of connected prose narrative with intelligence and possibly with pleasure. The passing requirements of this portion of the course are purposely exacting. No students whose attainments are not such as to allow them to pursue the study of the subject with profit will be admitted to the classes of the second year. The intention of this state­ ment is definitely insisted upon. The prescribed reading in Caesar, Cicero, and Vergil is stated elsewhere. The work of classes, however, is not limited to this. Selected portions of text from the authors named, and from other Latin writers, are used in addition, and an attempt is made to develop an intelli­ gent appreciation of the significance of literature and to aid the student in forming correct conceptions of literary culture. The efforts of the instructor are constantly directed to developing the ability to read Latin, i. e., to recognize the thought in its Latin dress, and to feel the exact force of construction, idiom and arrangement. Translation is required more as a test of accuracy in this than as an end in itself. Versification and formal gram­ mar receive due attention. Informal daily talks by the instructor upon phases of Roman religion, history, politics, literature, or everyday life that the text suggests contribute something, perhaps, to the stimulation of in­ terest in the subject and to the encouragement of inde­ pendent investigation. Page thirty-Hve THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS Mr. Siddell and Mr. Sackett, Mr. Standiffe, Mr. Armour A study of the cause for just complaint on the part of teachers of advanced mathematics leads one to believe that the trouble is directly traceable to poor work in ele mentary mathematics. Accordingly the aim here is to develop strength of work in both mental and written arithmetic, in algebra and in geometry. If a strong foun­ dation is laid in these branches, the advanced courses in mathematics in normal school, college, or technical school will not present insurmountable difficulties to the student, nor will county and state examiners of prospective teach­ ers find indications of lamentable weakness in these sub­ jects. To this end, thoroughness in all work is the watch­ word. An attempt to “humanize” the various subjects is made by choosing suitable illustrative problems for the topics under discussion. ARITHMETIC In arithmetic work is given in the first and last years of the course. In the first year daily recitations are held throughout two terms. The aim is to develop accuracy, facility, and rapidity of work, both oral and written. Clearness and conciseness of explanation are insisted upon; also absolute truthfulness in the use of equations. Rules as such are not learned but are logically evolved; thus the “why” explains and helps to establish the “how” in the mind of the student. The work in written arithmetic, in which considerable oral work is also done, is supplemented by a separate course in mental arithmetic, where in addition to skill and facility in work, power of concentrated attention and con­ tinued retention are the ends sought. Students frequently Page thirty-six THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL attest the value of this work in increased efficiency in other lines of work. The work in arithmetic given in the last year of the course aims to equip teachers thoroughly for work in the grades. As a means to this end, a general review of the subject is given, but the work is broader and deeper than that of the first year, and includes work on the pedagogy of the subject, to which a term’s work is given. ALGEBRA In algebra the student is led inductively to enlarged and different number concepts, and to understand and interpret the underlying principles and to apply them in­ telligently. Algebra and arithmetic are closely correlated. This course seeks to make easy and gradual the transition from the inductive type of thought in arithmetic to the deductive form of reasoning in geometry. The solution of problems accurately stated is especially emphasized. Students before entering should have completed a full year’s work in algebra as far as quadratics, so that the usual amount required for college entrance can be com­ pleted in one year. For the benefit of those who have not had this amount of preparatory work classes for be­ ginners are provided. PLANE GEOMETRY Plane geometry is studied throughout the second year. A love of truth for truth’s sake should be one of the results of a proper study of geometry. With this end in view accuracy in definition, logical reasoning, clearness of expression, and authority for statements are insisted upon. Self-reliance and power of initiative are developed by original exercises. Believing that the power to attack and solve original exercises is the true test of one’s geo­ Page thirty-seven I THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL metric ability, it has been and will be the plan of the teachers to make extensive use of such exercises, choos­ ing, however, a large number of exercises involving a few principles each, rather than a much smaller number of very difficult problems, inasmuch as greater benefits result to the student from such a course of procedure. SOLID GEOMETRY The work in solid geometry covers half the third year and follows the same lines as indicated in plane geometry. In teaching the subject a happy medium is sought be­ tween non-use of mathematical solids and excessive use of the same, thus stimulating but not demoralizing the student’s power to form geometric concepts. Locus prob­ lems are emphasized in both plane and solid geometry. TRIGONOMETRY One-half year is devoted to the study of trigonometry. The work includes definitions and relations of the six trigonometric functions as ratios, circular measure of angles, proofs of the principal formulas, solution of trigonometric equations, theory and use of logarithms, and the solution of right and oblique triangles with prac tical applications. Page thirty-eight CAMPUS ELM a a THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH Mr. LaBounty and Miss Swenarton, Miss Bauman, Miss Sullivan The aim of the department of English is to develop skill in clean and strong English for everyday use. While courses are given in the classics and in the historical aspects of the subject, the aim of accuracy in speech and writing is ever kept in view. Much time is spent to fix the student’s attention on details, and to develop for him, a sense of form. Originality of thought is encouraged. Simplicity and naturalness are insisted upon. English is taught from the standpoint of usefulness, rather than from that of ornament. FRESHMAN COURSE A. Grammar in its elementary phases is studied. The course deals with the inflectional sides of the language. Analysis is taught as an aid to construction only. While it must be largely a reflective study, every endeavor is made to make the work practical, to make it a help in the full expression of thought. Krapp’s and Patrick’s texts are used. B. Reading as expression is taught in the winter term. A systematic study of the various types of literary composition is made. The best expression of meaning is the one object of the course. C. Spelling is studied as an important art. Four periods a week are devoted to a careful consideration of rules and phonetics. It is the purpose of the instructor to develop conscience and pride in a matter that is often slighted. SOPHOMORE COURSE A. Composition is taught throughout the sophomore Page thirty-nine THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL 3 year. Theory and practice are united. One term is de­ voted to theme writing alone. Brief papers are prepared as daily exercises. Practice in verse writing is found to maintain interest, to increase knowledge of simple verse forms, and to develop skill in the arrangement of sen­ tence elements. For a portion of the year, diary writing is followed with interest; this assures constant exercise, which is most important. The text of Lockwood and Emerson is used for a part of the work. Each student is required to own, and is expected to use Wooley’s “Handbook of Composition.” B. The classics designated as college entrance re­ quirements are studied as a part of this course. JUNIOR COURSE A. A study of the history of English literature is made in the winter term. A knowledge of the great periods is insisted upon. A general acquaintance with books and their authors is required. Regular classroom work is supplemented by reading in the library. Halleck’s “History of English Literature” is used. B. A similar course in American literature occupies four hours weekly in the spring term. The text is Watkin’s “American Literature.” SENIOR COURSE A. A rapid review of grammar, with special em­ phasis on sentence structure, is required of all seniors. The course is given in the winter term. Each student compiles a catalogue of faulty expressions which arouses considerable interest, and cures many faults by simply calling the attention of those who are in error to their lapses in diction and sentence structure. Various texts are consulted. Page forty THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL B. In the spring term a course is given in methods in grammar. The history of the' subject is considered. A general acquaintance with various texts is expected. Theories of classroom presentation of the subject are discussed. Individual members of the class are required to present plans for typical recitations. C. Public speaking is given in the senior year under the direction of the instructor in oratory. The various forms of public address are analyzed. Original work is required. Each student makes one public appearance in the course of the year. Page forty-one 11 THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL ORATORY DEPARTMENT Miss Bauman The department of oratory offers a great inducement to students desiring a partial or complete course in ex­ pressive reading and public speaking. In this course an effort is made to establish high ideals of expression and interpretation. This course aims not only to train the pupil in the mechanics of reading, articulation, pronunciation, fluency, readiness, but to stimulate imagination, quicken respon­ siveness, and increase the power of getting thought from the printed page. The work requires two years for completion. FIRST YEAR 1. Exercise for proper standing, sitting, walking, etc. Responsive drill. Pantomime. 2. Voice Culture. Physiological study of the instrument of voice; cor­ rect breathing; exercises to develop freedom, range, purity, and radiation. 3. Expression. Volumes I and II “Evolution of Expression,” Emerson. 4. Shakespeare. Literary and interpretive study of “As You Like It.” 5. Gesture. Study of gesture and its relation to expression. French and Italian system used. Page forty-two BASEBALL TEAM THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL n SECOND YEAR 1. Physical Culture. Emerson system of physical culture; pantomime; responsive drill. 2. Voice Culture. Work for animation, smoothness and simplicity; exercises for musical quality of speak­ ing voice. 3. Shakespeare. Interpretive study of “Hamlet.” 4. Expression. Volumes III and IV “Evolution of Expression,” Emerson. Recitals. 5. Impersonation. 6. Gesture. Continuation of first year’s work. 7. Dramatic Art. Stage management; play re­ hearsals ; make-up. 8. Oratory. Public speaking; addresses, debate; etc. Students graduating from this department must have had a course of at least twenty-four private lessons and make two or more public appearances as public readers. “THE ART OF STORY TELLLING” This is a course designed to meet the needs of the teacher in the grades and high school. It quickens the imagination, develops the insight into literature, incites growth in the spirit of literature instead of slavish de­ pendence on the letters of the selection. It causes the story-teller to see clearly and think deeply and present the great points of the story. The stories studied will be the world studies that have influ­ Page forty-three THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL enced the race. They will be taken up in sequence and their relation to the spiritual development of the race will be shown. Text: “Story-Telling,” by Lyman. ETHICS Peabody’s “Moral Philosophy” forms the outline for class-room work in ethics. The history of the subject is briefly considered. A general survey of the various systems of ethics is made. By far the larger part of the work is given to the discussion of everyday problems of human conduct. These discussions and debates are largely in the hands of the class; the instructor merely directs the course of the recitation. LOGIC A course in the fundamentals of logic is offered for one term as a substitute for Vergil. Practice in the vari­ ous figures of syllogism, detection of fallacies, exercises in deductive and inductive reasoning, is the general con­ tent of the course. The text of Jevon and Hill is used. PARAGRAPH WRITING A course in paragraph writing is offered as a sub­ stitute for logic. It consists of daily themes on assigned subjects throughout one term. The classroom work is given over to a reading and discussion of papers pre­ pared. The aim is to develop an easy, ready style in English composition. Page fortV’four THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL DEPARTMENT OF SCIENCE Mr. Snyder and Mr, Baker, Miss Ham, Mr. Stancliffe PHYSICS In the new four year course, physics is required during the entire third year. The work is covered by laboratory practice and recitation supplemented by cur­ rent articles on new inventions. The new physical labo­ ratory is fully equipped for thirty individual experi­ ments of the National Physics Course, and by the group system many more can be performed. Each student is required to perform and present a well written report on twenty-five experiments, and is encouraged to per­ form more for which due credit is given. A small labo­ ratory fee of fifty cents the term is charged to cover breakage and add to the equipment. The lecture table apparatus is well suited to cover nearly every phase of the subject. The whole course is very practical, as it deals with the phenomena of everyday life, and aims to associate the physics of the home with that of the uni­ verse. In every way possible the student is led to see the great economic value that a more intimate knowledge of nature’s laws will afford mankind. ZOOLOGY In the four year course, zoology is required for at least fifty full periods during the second year. Graduates of first grade high schools are admitted to the third year; hence are not required to study the subject. The work is covered by an outline study of the relation between plant and animal life. Herrick’s text is followed in the study of types, and special attention is given to the habits, food, chief characteristics, and reproduction of the branch that ycige forty-ihe n THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL each type introduces. The economic importance of each branch is given great prominence, and ways and means for exterminating the harmful, and increasing the bene­ ficial animals are discussed. Laboratory work is taken up as far as time permits. The chief aim in this course is to create an interest in nature, train the powers of observation, study the effect of environment and habit upon animals, and thereby learn how to keep man supreme in the animal kingdom. CHEMISTRY Chemistry is required in the fourth year of the new course, forty weeks, five class hours a week. Three class hours are devoted to classroom work and two to labo­ ratory exercises. The class work consists of discussion of prepared lessons, demonstration by the instructor, and solution of simple chemical problems. Each student is required to perform in the laboratory at least thirtyfive experiments chosen from the list accepted by the college entrance board. BOTANY The subject of botany is required for at least two terms of the second year of the four-year course. The work includes laboratory and garden practice in con­ nection with the text. Andrews’ text is used to outline the work, and a careful study of the methods of repro­ duction, growth, and ecology of plants is made. The economic importance of food plants is discussed, and the best methods for their cultivation is considered. Circu­ lars and bulletins by government experts are consulted for the most up-to-date information. As the collection and analysis of a large number of plants tends to ex­ terminate the species, not more than fifteen specimens Fage forty-six If]---------- \\_____ THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL that illustrate family characteristics are required. An effort is made to ai'ouse an interest in agriculture and horticulture, and to that end the school garden and its aims are considered. Actual practice in planting, feed­ ing, and cultivating is carried on as far as time permits. AGRICULTURE Agriculture is required for two full terms, twenty-nine weeks, four periods a week. Three periods are used for recitation and discussion and one for laboratory practice. Twenty experiments covering the propogation of plants, soils and soil solutions; preparation of insecticides and fungicides, together with the actual use of the Babcock milk tester, are required. Each student is required to plant and cultivate a plot of ground and harvest the crops. A report on the cost of seeds, labor and value of crops is required for each plot. The main object of the course is not to make farmers but to stop unmaking them; to bring the schools in touch with farm life. Page forty-seven 1 THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC Mr. Gleason, Miss Thomas The courses of study offered in this department are piano, voice, public school music (supervisor’s course), and theory of music. The length of a full course depends upon the ability and previous training of pupils. A high standard of ex­ cellence is maintained and thorough examinations are given. PIANOFORTE The course in pianoforte consists of the study of the instrument, history of music, musical form and harmony. The vrork in piano consists of major and minor scales in rhythm, thirds, sixths and tenths, arpeggios and studies selected from the works of the following composers; Kohler, Opus 249; Matthews’ graded course; National graded course; Czerny’s School of Velocity, Opus 299; Duvernoy, Opus 120; Loeschhorn, Opus 66 and 67; Heller’s Studies in Melody and Phrasing, Opus 45, 46 and 47; Bach’s Inventions, Cramer, Mendelssohn, Chopin, Rawlan, dementi, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven and others. Some time is given to sight reading, ensemble play­ ing, transposition, memorizing and accompanying. VOICE Before taking up vocal culture, students should be more or less proficient in reading music. The method of development involves the study of breath control, toneformation, and sight reading. Vocalizes and studies of Viardot, Concone, Sieber, Page forty-eight g-jr. A COHNBB IN THB’MANUAL TBAINING DBPABTMBNT THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL Marchesi, Lutgen, and others are used. These studies are supplemented by songs, classic and modern. JUNIOR PIANO PUPILS For pupils under twelve years of age short periods at a reduced rate. PUBLIC SCHOOL MUSIC This is the supervisor’s course, and includes the study of music fundamentals and sight singing, a course of study for elementary schools, and methods of presenta­ tion, observation and practice teaching, harmony, history of music, appreciation, chorus conducting, and voice, par­ ticularly the child’s voice. Students entering upon this course must have adapta­ tion to this kind of work. There is a demand for well trained supervisors of public school music. The course is planned to meet this demand. FRESHMAN AND SENIOR COURSE One daily lesson for a period of ten weeks is given to the freshman class. This class is instructed in music fundamentals, sight singing, and chorus work. Three periods a week during the fall term are given by the senior class to a review of the fundamentals of music, to instruction in intervals, and elementary har­ mony, a grading of problems, methods of presentation, and practice teaching. Brief talks are given them on the history and form of music, and biographies. Educational boards everywhere now prefer teachers who are able to teach music intelligently and well. Special attention is given to those who lack or think they lack the ability to teach music in their schools. Page forty-nine a THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL HARMONY One year, two lessons a week, is given to the study of harmony. The text-book in use is Emery’s Elements of Harmony. RECITALS Public and private recitals are held from time to time, from which pupils gain much benefit. CHORAL CLUB AND ORCHESTRA A choral club and an orchestra are maintained, and are open to those who can and desire to participate. These are not maintained as much for public perform­ ances as for advancing a knowledge and appreciation of the standard oratorios and cantatas. VIOLIN AND OTHER INSTRUMENTS A teacher of these instruments is employed as many days a week as the demand requires. Page fifty THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL HISTORY Mr. Sackctt and Miss Ham, Miss Sullivan Though the study of history in secondary schools must include the memorizing of historical facts, it should also include the examination of the relation of those facts to one another as cause to effect. The most profitable study of history selects such facts as best explain the great movements in human progress. It tends to exclude what is merely dramatic and interesting for what is significant and illuminating. The skill to make a selec­ tion of what is most important is gradually developed in the student by the emphasis which the instructor lays upon the important events and movements. No one method is employed to the exclusion of other methods. No one phase of human progress is emphasized to the exclusion of other phases; for example, constitutional history is not taught to the exclusion of industrial history; the effort is rather, so far as the limited allowance of time permits, to present history as a harmonious whole. Recourse is had to fac-similes and translations of original documents to secure more of the historical at­ mosphere. Secondary sources of history are also drawn upon to broaden the conception of the student. The school is gradually adding to its equipment the best helps in history. The courses are: Ancient and Mediaeval. I. As much as is offered under this heading in Myers’s General History. Modern. Page fifty-cne THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL 2. As much as is offered in Myers’s General History under this heading. United States. 3. As much as is offered in Morris, Channing, or Elson, McLaughlin. 4. English History. □ CIVICS Miss Sullivan The aim of the course in civics is to give the students a practical working knowledge of American political in­ stitutions. A text is used as the basis of the work, and this is supplemented by lectures, independent study on the part of the student, and open classroom discussions. An effort is made to lead the students to think for themselves about political questions. ii Pagi Hfty^two LAW N AND TR EES THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL FRENCH Mr. Barnes The first year is devoted to the acquirement of a cor­ rect pronunciation, a working vocabulary, and such an acquaintance with elementary grammatical principles as will render the student able to read simple narrative prose. Chardenal’s Complete Course is used, supplemented by Fraser and Squair’s grammar, and by the reading of a few easy stories. In the second year the study of more technical constructions and idioms is required together with the memorizing of verse. Constant practice in com­ position is afforded, and there is opportunity for con­ versation. The precise material used is at the discretion of the instructor. The reading of the first year is selected from Halevy’s “L’Abbe Constantin,” Malot’s “Sans Famille,” Erckmann Chatrian’s “Madame Therese,” Sand’s “La Mare au Diable,” and stories of this type. That of the second year from the following: Daudet’s “La Belle Nivernaise,” Merimee’s “Colomba,” Hugo’s “Les Miserables” (selections), Zola’s “La Debacle,” etc. A Page fifty-three t THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL GERMAN Miss Roberts The courses in German are primarily general culture courses, leading the student to a deeper interest in a life and a language differing from his own. Aside from the prescribed course, the instructor gives numerous short talks upon the legends, life, and customs of the German people, which generally lead to independent investigation in the library. Six terms of German are offered in the regular normal course, although more advanced work will be given if there are a sufficient number of requests for it. First year.

The course covers one term, five class hours a week. In the last few years geography has assumed new im­ portance in the school curriculum. It has come to be recognized as the unity of all the sciences. The earth is studied as the mother of the human race and the shaper of all its activities. The question ever before the teacher is how does this lesson or this particular fact bear upon the life of man. The work consists of the study of earth facts in the lights of their influence on human history. PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY Physical geography has long been recognized as the best introductory subject to the study of the natural sciences. The work in this course is very much like what has often been taught in the grades under the title of phenomenology. The course is primarily a thought course. The aim is not so much to impart information as to lead students to inquire into and think about the physical facts and phenomena with which they come into daily contact. The course is confined largely to the study of earth forms and conditions. But it must be borne in mind that only those forms and agencies which influence animal or plant life have any place in this study. The work consists of classroom discussion, prepara­ tion of papers on assigned subjects, and field work. The region around Edinboro is rich in glacial markings, and furnishes much interesting matter for field work. Page Hfty-iive I 1 THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL DEPARTMENT OF ART Miss Powell The time is near at hand when a knowledge of draw­ ing will be required of every public school teacher. It is a valuable aid in nearly every department of school work. The supervisors’ course in drawing is one especially adapted to school work. It requires two years for its completion. Students who have studied drawing before entering the normal school will be allowed credit for the work they have done. The regular work for the first year is freehand, and perspective drawing, exercises in ink and brush work, water color painting, theory of design, constructive draw­ ing, theory of color, blackboard drawing, history of art, methods, of drawing, psychology of the content, gram­ mar and technique of drawing. In the second year, constructive drawing, clay model­ ing, water color painting, geometrical drawing, raffia work, basketry, sewing, theory of design, time sketches in pencil and charcoal, psychology of form, its place in edu­ cation, graded illustrative work, details of supervision, and training in model school, are parts of the work. ADVANCED WORK IN ART Advanced students can take private lessons in oil, water color and china painting, pastel and crayon work. Page fifty-six FOOTBALL TEAM — K utper 1 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL 1--------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------2 DOMESTIC SCIENCE AND MANUAL TRAINING Miss Powell, Mr. Frost The persistent demand for vocational education has been met in the new course by domestic science, manual training and agriculture. Domestic science or manual training is required one term each in the freshman and senior years. The educational value of these manual arts is two­ fold: first, it brings pupils into contact with the nature and sources of the materials of industrial life; and, second, it introduces motive into school work. Both of these values are distinctly social. The evolution of society has removed the industrial processes from the home to the factory. This has not only taken from children a very large source of information, but has also wholly freed them of social responsibility; as they no longer see or help in providing and preparing the food, clothing and shelter for the family. The manual arts, if properly taught, should supply these deficiencies. In manual training each student is taught the use of tools, the nature of various woods, and is required to make some article of distinctly commercial value. The work in domestic science is confined for the present to sewing and basketry, but it is hoped that a cookery laboratory may be available in the near future.

BAUMAN Spelling DAVID STANCLIPFE Penmanship Pag! fifty-eight THE EOINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL GENERAL PURPOSE Commercial Department in a state normal school has two distinct advantages. It has at its command A a dormitory system; it places a course that is too often barren in cultural studies in full contact with a school atmosphere that is largely colored by interest in a cur­ riculum of general culture. In addition the student feels himself identified with a large and self-controlled student body; he is an important factor in an institution of long standing and considerable reputation. In reestablishing the commercial department at Edinboro, the authorities have delayed until they are in a posi­ tion to offer courses of the same grade of scholarship as is required in the regular normal course. The courses in grammar, arithmetic and like subjects are taught by the heads of the various departments in the normal school. The technical subjects such as bookkeeping, stenography, and typewriting, are under the direction of instructors of long experience and wide reputation in the best of business colleges. The department is reestablished in response to a con­ stant request from young men and women who desire, m particular, a good school for business training, that can furnish dormitory facilities. Three courses have been arranged. One course, ex­ tending through two full school years, leads to a diploma. Two courses, one in shorthand and one in bookkeeping, are of one year’s duration. A certificate is issued by the school upon the completion of the work of either year. Page fifty-nine THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL BOOKKEEPING DEPARTMENT In this department bookkeeping, commercial law, commercial arithmetic, banking and general office practice are taught. Beginning with the simple principles that lie at the basis of business and bookkeeping, and developing the subject by inductive reasoning and philosophical thought-processes, the student is led to a thorough and comprehensive knowledge of the science of bookkeeping. Impracticable methods are entirely eliminated, and nothing whatever is admitted for purposes of instruction, that is not found in general use among practical account­ ants. S THE NEW COMMERCIAL COURSES The three courses in the reorganized commercial de­ partment are as follows: GENERAL COMMERCIAL COURSE FIRST YEAR Bookkeeping, three terms, five hours. Typewriting, three terms, five hours. Commercial Arithmetic, three terms, five hours. Business Law, one term, five hours. Spelling, three terms, four hours. Penmianship, three terms, four hours.

Page sixty-three THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL TRAINING Mr. Hayes The physical training department affords an oppottunity for all students to engage in recreative and devel­ oping exercise, in order that they may enjoy healthful living, build up their physique, and keep themselves in a vigorous working condition. As the reciprocal relations of body and mind are better understood, the value of properly selected physical exercise as a means of quickening sense perceptions, strengthening the will and developing the powers of at­ tention are being more appreciated. Many backward boys and girls have first been stimulated to mental activity through physical efforts. The forced attention, quick decision, and rapid responses called for in the gymnasium work and games are a great aid to the development of the mental faculties. The physical training consists of practical work in public school gymnastics, calisthenics, military drill, dumb-bells, Indian clubs, wands, and heavy apparatus work on the rings, horizontal bar, parallel bars, stall bars, horse, buck, and climbing poles; also mat work and games. The work is graded throughout the course, being arranged in progressive order with a special aim of making it physically and mentally educative, interesting and enjoyable. Each student is required to have a gymnasium suit; the young ladies, a black flannel suit of bloomers and blouse, and gymnasium shoes; the young men, a black jersey, and gray trousers, and gymnasium shoes. Page sixty-four BASKET BALL TEAM ^ Kupper PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE This course consists of text-book study, recitations, lectures and demonstrations. A careful study is made of the anatomical structure of the human body; of the physiology of the neuro­ muscular system; of the physiology of metabolism, in­ cluding all topics connected with nutrition and excretion, and of the blood, circulation and respiration. Special attention is given to the agents—air, diet, exercise, sleep, and bathing—which affect the human organism and tend to adapt it to its environment. The well trained teacher should be familiar with these agents, and know how to influence them towards the maintenance of health and the prolongation of life. □ THE LIBRARY Miss Wilson The library, situated on the second floor of Normal Hall, is a large, well lighted and well ventilated room. All the shelves are open to students, allowing free access to the eight thousand volumes, which are catalogued ac­ cording to the Dewey classification. The library con­ tains also, about four thousand government publications, not catalogued. It is especially strong in periodical liter­ ature, several hundred volumes being bound and treated as reference books. These are valuable to students as the copies of “Poole’s Index” and “Readers’ Guide to Periodical Literature,” make magazine articles on any subject easily accessible. The library is well supplied with daily and weekly Page sixty-five THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL newspapers, many of which are sent by the courtesy of the publishers for the benefit of the students from their locality. The library is open on school days from 9 a. m. to 12:00 m., and from 1:15 p. m. to 5:15 p. m.; on Mon­ days from 1:30 p. m. to 3 :oo p. m.

State aid is not available for these students. The state pays the tuition of all students who are seventeen years of age and who declare their intention to teach at least two full terms in the common schools of the state. No deductions will be made for the last two weeks of the term. Table board will be deducted for absence for two consecutive weeks, or longer, on account of personal sickness. The expense for each term is payable at the opening of the term. Payment for part of term will be accepted in special cases in order to accommodate patrons. Patt sixty-stven [| M THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL ......................... ............................... The principal acts for trustees and receipts all bills. Bills may be paid by cash, check, or postoffice money order. Board at above rates includes fully furnished room, heat, and light. Students furnish their own napkins and towels. There are no extra charges except for material used in the special departments. Students who desire to room alone in double suites will be charged fifty cents a week additional. The payment of the enrollment fee entitles the student to free admission to the Normal Lecture Course. Students who do not return to their duties on time after vacations, or other times, are required to make up the subject matter missed and pay a fee for any extra time or attention this requires. There is no extra charge for vocal music, elocution or bookkeeping taken in the regular course classes. A fee of one dollar a term is charged for chemistry, and fifty cents for physics. A charge of two dollars will be made for diploma for special courses.

A discount of twenty per cent, on the above rates will be given to students taking regular normal work. State aid is available for students taking a course in public school music. t^age s$v€niy THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL GENERAL INFORMATION WHAT EDINBORO MEANS Without considering the aim of the state, the Edinboro Normal School means several things for the boys and girls of the twelfth district. It means a plant has been established for them at a cost of over $300,000 of the people’s money. It means that this plant is maintained in the matters of heat, light, and care, at the expense of the common­ wealth. It means that the entire force of instructors is paid by the state. It means that the cost to the student is only for board and personal expenses. It means that an education which would cost four hundred dollars a year elsewhere is furnished at a cost of one hundred and sixty dollars. It means, in practical result, that the state lends money for the education of its young; that the loan is to be paid, not in cash, but in two years’ teaching service, and that that service, besides discharging the debt, brings the one who renders it a reasonable wage. ADVANTAGES Edinboro offers the advantages of a school atmosphere charged with the spirit of good work, of honest think­ ing, and of plain dealing. This spirit is manifested in every department of school life, in the care of grounds and buildings, as well as in classes in psychology and mathematics. As a state school, everything is done to better the training of those who are to undertake the state’s most important work. Page sevtnty-one I THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL TO EDINBORO Edinboro is reached by trolley from Erie, Cambridge Springs and Meadville. Cars leave Erie fifteen minutes after the hour, Cambridge Springs ten minutes after the hour, and Meadville on the hour, stopping in front of the school campus. In Erie, baggage checks should be de­ livered to the Erie Transfer Company, which will trans­ fer baggage to the depot of the Erie Traction Company without additional charge. All baggage should be checked to the Normal School. AT EDINBORO On reaching Edinboro, students should go immedi­ ately to the principal’s office in Normal Hall to register. One-half of the term’s expenses is payable at opening of the term; the balance becomes due at the middle of the term. Books may be purchased or rented at the book room. A deposit of the price of the books is required when the books are taken. This deposit, minus rental, is returned to the student on return of the books. ROOMS Rooms in Reeder and Haven Halls should be reserved, as there are not enough to accommodate all who apply. Reservation should be made as early as possible. Students may room and board with private families in the town with the consent of the principal. There is on file at the office a list of all householders who have accommodations for students. These householders, in receiving students into their homes, become responsible to the officers of the school for the conduct of their tenants. Any disregard for the rules is at once reported. Some landlords have Page seventy-two RECITATION HALL AND GYMNASIUM THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL specially fitted rooms for those students who, because their homes are near enough to permit a week-end visit, wish to board themselves. While the practice is not as common as it was a few years ago, for some students it is both economical and pleasant. Those girls who wish to do their own laundry work may do so in the laundry provided by the school. CHURCH AND RELIGION As a state school, religious denominationalism is barred. There are in Edinboro four prosperous congre­ gations which the students are urged to join in public worship. The Presbyterians, the Adventists, the Baptists and the Methodists are represented. The Catholic boys and girls usually attend services at Cambridge Springs. Among the students there are various religious organi­ zations that are prosperous and effective in the students’ lives. While the normal school senses the supreme place of religion, it clearly recognizes that the mission of the school is to the intellectual side of life. It believes that in training honest and consistent workers it is best serving the interest of the state and the individual. The province of the church is not infringed upon. LITERARY SOCIETIES The Potter and the Philo societies are the centers of one phase of student interest. Both societies are doing effective work, and enjoy a friendly rivalry. LECTURE COURSE In the normal lecture course an attempt is made to Page seventy-three l£J E THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL bring to the students a series of public entertainments that are unusual in interest and worth. RULES The state law lays down a heavy course of study. The chief rule of the institution is the study hour. This means that while recitations are in session from 7:45 a. m. to 3:30 p. m., and from 7 :oo p. m. to 10 :oo p. m., all students are to devote themselves to the work of the school. In the fulfillment of this law rests the whole matter of discipline. A student who comes to do the work and applies himself to the best of his ability has little time to spend on any other matters. A CO-EDUCATIONAL SCHOOL As a school for boys and girls little is to be said, ex­ cept that in every way possible is the best spirit of co­ education fostered. The matter of boys and girls on the same campus is not looked upon as a necessary evil, but as a wholesome situation for just the type of educational work that a normal school must do. PERMITS As the school at any hour is expected to be able to locate any student who is enrolled, it becomes necessary to require that each student ask for a permit from the office before leaving town. When a student is absent from class for any cause, he must procure a written permit from the principal be­ fore he can resume his school work in any class. VISITORS All visitors should so time their visits as to interfere as little as possible with the schedule of the students. Page seventy-four THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL While any student may be reached by telephone, all persons are requested to use this means of communica­ tion only when urgent business demands. REFUNDS The school acts with reason and justice in the matter of refunds in case a student is compelled to leave school on account of sickness or other necessity. HIGH SCHOOL CREDITS The matter of high school credits may be settled by consulting the conditions of admission under courses of study in this catalogue. DIPLOMAS Candidates for graduation are examined by the state board of examiners in the branches of the junior and senior years. A diploma, in which are named the branches of the course, is given those found qualified. A diploma permits the holder to teach in the public schools of Penn­ sylvania without further examination, for two years. Any graduate of this school who has continued his studies for two years, and has taught two full annual terms in the common schools of the state, is entitled to a second diploma. These second diplomas are permanent certificates of the highest grade. The holder is permitted to teach in the public schools of Pennsylvania without further examination. To secure a second diploma the applicant must pre­ sent to the faculty and to the state board of examiners a certificate testifying to his good moral character and skill in the art of teaching, signed by the board or boards of Page seventy-Uve directors by whom he was employed, and countersigned by the superinendent of the county in which he has taught. Blank applications may be obtained at the office of the principal. □ TEXT-BOOKS The following text-books are used at the Edinboro Normal School: ARITHMETIC Practical Arithmetic by Dubbs, Complete Arithmetic by Hamilton, Advanced Arithmetic by Wentworth, Men­ tal Arithmetic by Weidenhamer, Commercial Arithmetic by Moore.
