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 sedlion 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 syftems of the Middle West and at the same time enjoys a pleaisant remoteness, a slight seclusion, that is thoroughly consistent with good ^udent work. THE VILLAGE "^he village is progressive. Its influences are for good. It has an old amd well established citizenship. It was founded in 1 796 by sturdy New England stock whose mark is readily traced in the community today. The village bears the inevitable stamp of the school town; it has been known as a place of learning for many years. THE LAKE Edinboro lies just north of the village. Exactly what part it has played in the last fifty years in the spirit amd tradition of the school would be hard to estimate. It is a charming sheet of fredi water, the second larged lake in the State, and calls visitors PAOE EIGHT THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL —Kuyptr ! LAKE EDINBORO THE EBINBORO STATE MOKNAI. SCHOOL from many miles around. It affords a reitful field for recreation with its boating, bathing, and fishing. THE SCHOOL "^he early e^ablishment of an academy in 1857 was a mani­ festation of the pioneer spirit that charadlerized all eariy American life. Somebody has said that our pioneers sJways built a church at one end of their town and a school at the other. In such spirit was the academy founded in 185 7. It became the Eldinboro State Normal School in 1861. For fifty-one years it hsis held a high place in the educational life of its particuleu distriINGS ’Y'he campus of the school embraces thiity-(me acres of pleeisantly situated leuid. On it may be found qiecimens of prac­ tically all the native trees—many of which represent over half a century of growth. Their care is the particular pride of certain officers the school; their beauty constitutes no small part of the agreeable setting of the buddings. 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, be^es the thoroughly modem heating plant and electric power house. In order of their age they are: COMMERCIAL HALL Commercial HrJl is the originad academy building. It was erected in 1837. It stands at the northwest comer the campus. It is a substantial frame building which houses the book room, two literary society halls amd a large classroom. Caure 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 physicail and chemical laboratories, the large examination hall, a large lecture room, and vairious rooms for supplies. While the old hall will undoubtedly make way for a new science hrJl m the neru* future, it will be long before its lines of happy symmetry and general air of quaintness will fade from the minds of those who know it. PAfiE FODRTEIN c THE EDINBOHO STATE NORHAL SCHOOL ] SOUTH HALL South Hall is the last o^ the old donnitories. Built in 1860, it was the center of school life for many generations. It has been abandoned as a jtudent dotmkcMry since the building of die modem hails. It is now used fw storage, and as a home for the caretak«TS of the othar haOs. Old South H^, widi its great chinmeys, forms a picturesque badcground for the newer group of buildings. MUSIC HALL Well s^arated frc«n the (rther buildings. Music HaH affords an admirable home fcnr die d^artment of music. It was built in 1862, and remodelled in 1878. It contains a pleasaid assembly haU, practice rooms, and instructors’ studios. NORMAL HALL Normal HaH was built in 1875. In 1891 it was greatly enlarged. It contains the chapel, the library, the model school, 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. The model school has ten classrooms besides a large assembly hall. RECITATION HALL Recitation Hall is a monument to the originality trf J. A. Cooper, founder of the normal school, who for thirty years was the best known man in common school life of western Pennsyl­ vania. It has six pleasant recitation rooms. All the rooms on the first floor open out of doors so that it is impossible for a student to P21SS from one class to another without going into the fresh air. It was built in 1880. PAGE FIFTEEN E ] THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL HAVEN HALL In 1903 a modem dormitory for the young women was constructed. It is a four story structure of substantial quality. Steam heat and electric light render the hall very comfortable. Its direction and care both rum to make it a real home for the young women. The dining hall, for both boys and girls, occupies the first, or basement floor. It wars built in 1903. THE GYMNASIUM The Gymnasium, built in 1906, is a thoroughly modem and practical building, with excellent equiprnent 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, ais 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. PAGE SIXTEEN 4 THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL PHYSICAL LABORATORY —Kupper COURSES OF STUDY FOR THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL Note—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 secondeiry school constituting approximately a quarter of a fiJl year’s work. This statement is designed to afford a standard of measure­ ment for the work done in a secondary school. It takes the fouryear high school course as a baisis, 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 PAGE SEVENTEEN m THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL for four or five periods a week; but under ordinary circumstances a satisfactory year’s work in any subject cannot be accomplished in less than one hundred and twenty sixty-minute hours or their equivalent. Schools organized on a different basis can neverthe­ less estimate their work in terms of this unit. Students admitted to the first year shall have a fair knowl­ edge of auithmetic, reading, orthography, penmanship. United States history, geography, grammar, physiology, civics, and the elements of algebra to quadratics.

WALK, MISS STURGEON The prime purposes of this department are: I. To give the student a clear insight into the character of the fundamental problems of modem educationaJ principle and practice. Special stress is Isud on the value of the vsurious subjects of the school curriculum gauged in terms of their ability to satisfy real needs or 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 constitute the ground-work for all professional theory and method worthy of the name, viz.: 1. General and Special Methods. ~ RAGE TWENTY-NINE 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. 3. Written and oral reports on these observations. 4. Complete control of a class, under immediate supervision of the management, for at least one term, and in some cases two terms, and the entire year. THE EDINBORO STATE NORHAL SCHOOL THEORY AND METHODS OF TEACHING 1. General and Special Methods. The work in general methods supplements instruction in special methods, and relates to the fundamenteJ problems of school organization and management. Courses in special methods have to do with the proper presentation of subject 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 pro­ gressive tendencies of the times. Great emphasis 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 Teachmg Process,” Strayer; "Teaching a District School," Dinsmore: Seeley; White. II. Psychology. Instruction in psychology is designed to fulfill three dis­ tinct and indispensable aims: PAGE THIRTY c THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL A. To give the student, by means of class discussion and experimenteJ work, a clear understanding of the great principles underlying mental activity in general. B. To examine these principles with speciaJ reference to their bearing upon the study of the child mind. C. To apply these mental laws as directly and emphat­ ically as possible to the art of teaching, as inter­ preted in the light of modem educational theory. Suggested texts: "Briefer Course," James; Betts; Bald­ win; Thomdyke; "Psychology in the School­ room," Dexter and Garlick. 111. The History of Education. The chief purpose of this study is to establish an understanding of present educational ideals, practices, tendencies, and problems. This is accomplished A. By an interpretation of educational traditions, and an explanation of their relationship to modem 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 extreme in either theory or practice. C. By assisting the student to formulate ideals or stand­ ards 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. FACE THISTY-ONE THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL PRACTICE OF TEACHING The practice of teaching in all its phases is perfonned in di­ rect 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. In­ struction in music, drawing, penmanship, physical training and German is supervised directly by the several members of the fac­ ulty who teach those subjects 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 adminis­ tration and supervision the interests of both pupils and student teachers are promoted without detriment to either one or the other of these two clsisses. Most emphatically this model-practice school is not a mere laboratory for experimentation. Rather is it a place where pupils get thorough instruction under supervision of specialists, and where teachers lest, through application to the problems of school-room routine, the value of theory previously re­ ceived. A. Observation. Observation is based on three syllabi, entitled re­ spectively conditions for work, the class, and the teacher. From these syllabi certain items are assigned PAGE THIRTY-TWO i [ THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL for each week’s work. Weekly meetings are held, and written reports, summarizing in concise, systematic form, the record of the week’s observation, me submitted, read, and analyzed. The subject matter from which assignments 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 re­ quired to retain a permanent file of his reports for ref­ erence use in teaching. Reports of the observers are analyzed also at the reg­ ular recitations of the normal school classes in methods. Members of the senior class who are doing practice teaching thus profit by criticism or commendation put in direct, specific form. No pains are spared to relate the results of observation immediately and vitally to class­ room instruction. B. Student Teaching. Each senior student m the normal school is required to do one hour of teaching or observation daily through­ out the entire yeen. Students designated for teaching are assigned to their respective grades and subjects with as much care as possible. Regard is had for academic qualifications and previous experience, and these, together with per­ sonality, cire made the basis for assignments. One of the features making most strongly for co-ordi­ nation in teaching activities is that of the lesson plan. At the beginning of each week every student teacher is re­ quired to submit a progrcun embodying a definite PAG* THIRTY-THRBS « « THE EDINBORO STATE NORHAL SCHOOL scheme for each day’s instruction, and covering the fol­ lowing points: (1) 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 plan is a prerequisite to the week s work. Each teacher is thus required to systematize his instruction, and the drill he obtains thereby is an invaluable pedagogical discipline. Be­ sides 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. PACE THIKTY-FOm REEDER HALL -R o n THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL J DEPARTMENT OF LATIN MR. BARNES AND MR, SACKETT, MR. GLEASON, MISS SWENARTON From the beginning accuracy in pronunciation and in knowl­ edge of inflectional forms is rigidly required. The work of the entire first year is designed to render the student sufficiently fa­ miliar with accidence and elementary 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 statement is definitely insisted upon. The prescribed reading in Caesar. Cicero, and Mergil 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 wnters, are read in addition, and an attempt is made to develope an intelligent appreciation of the significance of litera­ ture and to aid the student in forming correct conceptions of lit­ erary culture. TTie 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 construc­ tion, idiom and airangement. Translation is required more as a test of accuracy in this than as an end in itself. Versification and formal grammar 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, per­ haps, to the stimulation of interest in the subject and to the en­ couragement of independent investigation. PAGE THIRTY-SIX THE EDIHBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS MK. SIDDELL AND MK. SACKETT, MR. FOSTEJt, MISS EMERY A study of the cause for just complaint on the part of teach­ ers of advanced mathematics leads one to believe that the trouble is directly traceable to poor work in elementary mathematics. Ac­ cordingly the aim here is to develop strength of work in both mentzJ and written arithmetic, in algebra and in geometry. If a strong foundation is laid in these branches, the advanced courses in mathematics in normal school, college, or technicd school will not present insurmountable difficulties to the student, nor will county and state examiners of prospective teachers find indications of lamentable weakness in these subjects. To this end, thorough­ ness in all work is the watchword. An attempt to "humanize" the vairious 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. Tire aim is to develop accuracy, facflity, and rapidity of work, both oral and written. Clearness and conciseness of ex­ planation 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 sJso done, is supplemented by a separate course in mental arithmetic, where in addition to skill and facility in work, power of concentrated attention and continued retention are the ends sought. PAGE THIRTY-SEVEN THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL Students frequently attest the value of this work in increased efhcienty 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. ALGEBRA In algebra the student is led inductively to enlarged and differ­ ent number concepts, and to understand and interpret the underlymg principles and to apply them intelligently. Algebra and arithmetic are closely correlated. This course seeks to make easy arid 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 completed in one year. For the ben­ efit of those who have not had this amount of preparatory work classes for beginners are provided. I LjALiL cic.uivii:,iKr 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 in­ itiative are developed by original exercises. Believing that the power to attack and solve original exercises is the true test of one’s PAGE thirty-eight AN ICE STORM -Kapper geometric ability, it has been and will be the plan of the teachers to make extensive use of such exercises, choosing 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 pro­ cedure. SOLID GEOMETRY The work in solid geometry covers half the third year and follows the same lines as indicated in plane geometry. In teaching PAGE THIRTY-NINE i: THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL the subject a happy medium is sought between non-use of mathe­ matical solids and excessive use of the same, thus stimulating but not demoralizing the student’s power to form geometric concepts. Locus problems are emphasized in both plane and solid geometry. TRIGONOMETRY One hall 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 prindpal formulas, solution of trigonometric equations, theory and use of logarithms, and the solution of right and oblique triangles with practical applications. PAGE POilTY THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH MR. LA BOUNTY AND MISS SWENARTON, MISS HAUSER, MISS SULLIVAN The aim of the department of English is to develop skill in clean and strong English for everyday life. While courses are given in the claissics 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 phsises is studied. The course deals with the mflectionsJ 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. Whitney’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. PAGE FORTY-ONE Composition is taught throughout the sophomore year. THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL 1 Theory and practice axe united. One term is devoted 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 ar­ rangement of sentence elements. For a portion of the year, diary writing is followed with interest; this assures constant exercise, which is most importamt. THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL 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 requirements 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 Painter’s "American Literature." SENIOR YEAR A. A rapid review of grammar, with chief emphasis 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. B. In the spring term a course is given in methods in gram­ mar. The history of the subject b considered. A general ac­ quaintance with various texts is expected. Theories of classroom presentation of the subject are discussed. Individual members of the class are required to present plams for typical recitations. C. Public speaking is given in the senior year under the diPAGE rORTY-THRra ] THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL rection of the instructor in oratory. The various forms of public address Me analyzed. Original work is required. Each student makes one public appearance in the course of the year. ETHICS Peabody’s "Moral Philosophy" forms the outline for daissroom work in ethics. The hiflory of the subjedt is briefly con­ sidered. A general survey of the various systems of ethics is made. By far the larger part of the work is given to the discus­ sion of everyday problems of human conduct. These discussions and debates Me 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 various figures of syllogism, detection of fallacies, exercises in deductive and induc­ tive reasoning, is the general content of the course. The text of Jevon and Hill is used. PAGE FOKTY-POD* THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL 1 DEPARTMENT OF SCIENCE HR. SNYDER AND HR. BAKER, HISS HAM 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 current articles on new inventions. The new physiceil laboratory is fully equipped for thirty individual experiments 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 vrrltten report on twenty-five exper­ iments, and is encouraged to perform more for which due credit is given. A small laboratory 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 universe. 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 the types, and special attention is given to the habits, food, chief characteristics, and reproduction of the PAGE FOETY-FIVE . THE EOINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAM 1911 -Kupper branch that each type introduces. The economic importance of each branch is given great prominence, and ivays and means for exterminating the haurmful, and increasing the beneficial 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 su­ preme in the animal kingdom. CHEMISTRY Chemistry is required in the fourth year of the new course. PAGE PORTY-SCX THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL forty weeks, five class hours a week.

This class is in^lrudled 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 instruc­ tion in intervals, and elementary harmony, a grading of problems, methods of presentation, and pra<5tice 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. MUSIC FOR CULTURE Part of the chapel period each day is given over to a drill in song and chorus work by the entire school body. Incidental talks are given at this time for the purpose of creating a desire and appreciation for the better things in musical literature. A choral club and an orchestra are maintained, and are open to those who can and desire to participate. These are not main­ tained SIS much for public performances as for advancing a knowl­ edge and appreciation of the standard oratorios smd cantatas. c THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL CORRIDOR OF HAVEN HALL Kupper DEPARTMENT OF ORATORY MISS HAUSER It is the aim of this department to develop speakers whose style shall be simple and natural, emd, when occasion requires, forceful. The individuality of the pupil is of the first importance. The speaker is educated, not fashioned aiter a certain model. The pupil is not expected to be the imitator of the teacher. After general preparation, there is the required study of as many literary masterpieces, great poems, and orations, as time will permit. VOICE CULTURE The voice when free and unrestricted by habits, defects or misuse, is a true reporter of the soul. It must respond to every RAGE niTY c THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL impulse of thought, will, and psission. First, it is the purpose to find the true voice, and then develop it, that it may, in the most natural and forcible manner, convey the thoughts of the speaker to the audience. Special attention is given to conect breathing, articulation, range of pitch, defects of speech, cause and cure. BODILY EXPRESSION The method of teaching gesture aims to produce spontaneous and subtile bodily expression. It makes for the development of harmony, for the suppression of superfluous gesture, and the furtherance of a closer adjustment of form to content. LIFE STUDY AND IMPERSONATION The study and portraysJ of living chauracters and the imper­ sonation of characters famous in literature, is emphasized. This work has been found to cultivate the perceptive faculties and to encourage the timid student to bring variety into all his rendering. It breaks up mannerisms and develops unsuspected talent in ex­ pression. PAGE nFTY-o™ i THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL HISTORY MR. SACKETT, MISS SWENARTON, MISS SULLIVAN TTiough the study of history in secondary schools must in­ clude 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 m human progress. It tends to exclude what is merely dramatic and interesting for what is significant and illuminating. The skill to make a selection 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 THE GYMNASIUM THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL 3 to the exdusion 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 atmosphere. Second­ ary sources of history are eJso drawn upon to broaden the con­ ception of the student. The school is gradually adding to its equipment the best helps in history. The courses are: Ancient and Mediaeval. . r' 1. As much as is offered under this heading m Myers Gen­ eral History. Modem. , 2. As much as is offered in Myers General History under this heading.

English History. 0 CIVICS MR. rOSTKR The aim of the course in civics is to give the students a prac­ tical working knowledge of American political institutions. 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. PAGE Fimf-THBEE THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL FRENCH MR. BARNES The first year is devoted to the acquirement of a correct pro­ nunciation, 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 composition is af­ forded, and there is opportunity for conversation. 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 "Sams Famille," Erckmamn Chatrian’s "Madame Therese," Sand's "La Meue au Dlable," and stories of this type. That of the second year from the following: Daudet’s ”La Belle Nivemaise," Merimee’s "Colomba," Hugo’s "Les Miserables" (se­ lections), Zola’s "La Debacle," etc. FASE nrTY-FMn THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL ] GERMAN MISS ROBERTS The courses in German are primarly general culture courses, leading the student to a deeper interest in a life and a language dif­ fering from his own. Aside from the prescribed course, the in­ structor gives numerous short talks upon the legends, life, and cus­ toms 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. Elements of grammar, Lehrbuch der Deutschen Sprache, Spahnhoofd. 1. Conversational exercises. 2. 3. Composition. Memory work, simple poems, as Die Lorelei, Was ich Liebe, Der Gute Kamarad. 4.

The course covers one term, five class hours a week. In the last few years geography has assumed new importance 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 particuleu: fact bear upon the life of man. The work consists of the study of eruth facts in the light of their influence on human history. PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY Physical geography has long been recognized as the best in­ troductory subjedl 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 phenomenonology. The course is pri­ marily a thought course. The aim is not so much to impart in­ formation as to lead students to inquire into and think about the physical facts and phenomena with which they come into daily contadl. The course is confined largely to the study of earth forms and conditions. But it muS: 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, preparation of papers on sissigned subjects, and field work. The region eu'ound Edinboro is rich in glacial markings, and furnishes much interesting matter for field work. PAOF PIFTY-SJX [ THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL DEPARTMENT OF ART MISS POWELL AND MISS BLYSTONE The lime is near at hand when a knowledge of drawing will be required of every public school teacher. It is a vaJuable aid in nearly every department of school work. The supervisors’ course in drawing is one especiaJly adapted to school work. It requires two years for its completion. Stu­ dents 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, 2uid per­ spective drawing, exercises in ink and brush work, water color painting, theory of design, constructive drawing, theory of color, blackboard drawing, history of art, methods of drawing, psychol­ ogy of the content, grammar and technique of drawing. In the second year, constructive drawing, clay modeling, water color painting, geometrical drawing, raffia work, basketry, sewing, theory of design, time sketches in pencil and charcoaJ, psychology of form, its place in education, graded illustrative work, details of supervision, and training in model school, aie parts af the work. ADVANCED WORK IN ART Advanced students can take private lessons in oil, water color and china priinting, pastel and crayon work. PAGE nPTY-SEVER ] THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL 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 agri­ culture. Domestic science or manual training is required one term each in the freshman and senior years. The educational vaJue of these manusJ arts Is two-fold: first, it brings pupils into contact with the nature and sources of the ma­ terials of industrial life; and, second, it introduces motive into school work. Both of these values sue distinctly social. The evolution of society has removed the Industrial processes from the PRODUCT OF MANUAL TRAINING DESIGNED AND BUILT BY A STUDENT —Rota THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL 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 suls, 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. BOOKKEEPING HISS HAH Double entry bookkeeping is taught five periods the week for one term. The work is made practical. Pupils use the budget system, and thus become familiar with handling, filing and recording business papers. Each pupil acts as accountant for a firm. The text is used as a reference, not as a foundation for work. PAG* nrTY-NINE THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL TRAINING HISS AYKES The physical baining department affords an opportunity for all students to engage in recreative and developing exercises, 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 un­ derstood, the value of properly selected physical exercises as a meeuis of quickening sense perceptions, sbengthening the will and developing the powers of attention are being more appreciated. Many backward boys and girls have first been stimulated to men­ tal activity through physic2J efforts. The forced attention, quick decision, euid rapid responses called for in the gymnasium work and games are a great aid to the development of the mental fac­ ulties. The physical baining 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, zmd 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 gynmasium suit; the young ladies, a black flannel suit of bloomers and blouse, and gym­ nasium shoes; the young men, a black jersey, and gray bousers, and gymnasium shoes. PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE This course consists of text-hook study, recitations, lectures, and demonsbations. PAGE SIXTY TiWiMihtniifliiwfiiiiiir THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL A careful study is made of the euiatomical structure of the human body; of the physiology of the neuro-muscular system; of the physiology of metabolism, including all topics connected with nutrition and excretion; and of the blood, circulation and respira­ tion. 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 according to the Dewey classification. The library contains, also, about four thousand government publications, not catalogued. It is especially strong in periodical literature, several hundred volumes being bound and treated m 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 accessi­ ble. The library is well supplied with daily and weekly news­ papers, many of which are sent by the courtesy of the publishers for the benefit of the students from their locality. PAGE SIXTY-ONI r THE EDINBORO 1 STATE NORMAL SCHOOL The library is open on school days from 9 a. m. to 12:00 m., and from 1:13 p. m. to 5:13 p. m.; on Mondays from 1:30 p. m. to 3:00 p. m.

PAGE SIXTY-SIX THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL 3 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 commonwealth. 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 the education of its young; that the loan is to cstfh, but in two years’ teaching service, and that besides discharging the debt, brings the one who lends money for be paid, not in that service, berenders it a rea­ sonable wage. ADVANTAGES Edinboro offers the advantages of a school atmosphere charged with the spirit of good work, of honest thinking, 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, everyPA(X SIXTY-SEVER THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL thing is done to better the training of those who are to undertake the state’s most important work. TO EDINBORO Edinboro is reached by trolley from Erie and Crunbridge Springs. Cars leave Erie on the half hour, and Cambridge Springs five minutes after the hour, stopping in front of the school campus. In Erie, baggage checks should be delivered to the Erie Transfer Company, which will transfer baggage to the depot of the Erie Traction Company without additional cost. AT EDINBORO On reaching Edinboro, students should go immediately to the principal's office in Normal Hall to register. One-half of the term’s expenses is payable at the opening of the term, the balance becomes due at the middle of the term. Books may be pur­ chased 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. Reserva­ tion should be made as early as possible. There is on file at the office a list of all householders who have accommodations for stu­ dents. 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 specially fitted rooms for those students who, because their homes are near enough to permit a week-end visit. PAGE SIXTY-EIGHT THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL 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 plecisant. The school maintains a well equipped laundry. Those girls who wish to do their own work have the privilege of using it upon the weekly holiday. CHURCH AND RELIGION As a state school, religious denominationalism is barred. There are m Edinboro four prosperous congregations which the students are urged to join in public worship. The Presby­ terians, the Adventists, the Baptists, and the Methodists are repre­ sented. The Catholic boys and girls usually attend services at Cambridge Springs. Among the students there are various re­ ligious organizations that tire prosperous and effective in the stu­ dents’ lives. While the normal school senses the supreme place of religion, it clearly recognizes that the mission of the school is to the intel­ lectual side of life. It believes that in training honest and consist­ ent workers it is best serving the interest of the state and the indi­ vidual. The province of the church is not infringed upon. LITERARY SOCIETIES The Potter, the Philo, the Clionian, and the Agonian literary societies are the centers of one phase of student interest. All four societies are doing effective work, and enjoy a friendly rivalry. LECTURE COURSE In the normal lecture course an attempt is made to bring to the students a series of public entertainments that are unusual in PAGE SIXTY-NINE E THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL interest and worth. In the present year the students have heard Strickland W. Gillilan, James W. Folk, Dr. S. Parkes Cadman, Eldward Amherst Ott, Dr. Camden M. Cobem, and several other public men. It is a feature of no small value to student life. RULES The state law lays down a heavy course of study. The chief rule of the in^itution is the ^ludy hour. This means that while recitations are in session from 7:43 a. m. to 3:30 p. m., and from 7:00 to 10:00 p. m., all students are to devote themselves to the work of the school. In the fulfillm«it of this law rests the whole matter of discipline. A ^udent 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, except that in every way possible is the best spirit of co-education fostered. The matter of boys and girls on the srune campus is not looked upon as a necessary evil, but as a wholesome situation for ju^ the type of educational work that a normal school mu^ do. PERMITS As the school at any hour is expected to be able to locate any ^udent who is eiurolled, it becomes necessary to require that each student ask for a permit from the office before leaving town. When a indent is absent from class for any cause, he muA procure a written permit from the principal before he can resume his school work in any class. PAGE StVEKTT [ THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL VISITORS AD visitors should so time their visits sis to interfere as little as possible with the schedule of the Students. While any Student may be reached by telephone, all persons sure requested to use this means of communication only when urgent business demands. REFUNDS The school aifts with reason and justice in the matter of re­ funds in case a Student is compelled to leave school on account of sickness or other necessity. THE ALUMNI REGISTER An alumni register is in process of compDation. It wiD be ready for delivery in the early part of the coming school year. HIGH SCHOOL CREDITS The matter of high school credits may be settled by consult­ ing the conditions of admission under courses of Study on page twenty of this catalogue. DIPLOMAS Ccindidates for graduation are examined by the state board of exciminers in the branches of the senior year. 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 pubhc schools of Pennsylvania without further examination. Any graduate of this school who has continued his studies for two years, auid has taught two full annual terms in the com­ mon schools of the state, is entitled to a second diploma. These PAGE SEVENTY-ONE ] THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL second diplomas are permanent certificates of the highest grade. The holder is permitted to teach in the public schools of Penn­ sylvania without further examination. To secure a second diploma the applicant must present to the faculty and to the state board of examiners a certificate testifying to his good moral charadler amd skill in the art of teaching, signed by the board or boards of diredlors by whom he was employed, and countersigned by the superintendent 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.
