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 remote­ ness, a slight seclusion, that is thoroughly consistent with good student work. THE VILLAGE The 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 in­ evitable stamp of the school town; it has been known as a place of learning for many years. THE LAKE Lake Edinboro lies just north of the village. Exactly what part it has played in the last fifty years in the spirit and tradi­ tion of the school would be hard to estimate. 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. THE SCHOOL The early establishment of an academy in 1857 was a man­ ifestation of the pioneer spirit that characterized 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 Page eleven THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY other. In such spirit was the academy founded in 1857. It became the Edinboro State Normal School in 1861. For fiftytwo years it has held a high place in the educational life of its particular district; while its sons and daughters have held positions of trust from one end of the land to the other. PURPOSE The primary purpose of the school is the training of teach­ ers. In a more particular sense it plans to equip teachers for the Twelfth Normal School District, which embraces the coun­ ties of Lawrence, Mercer, Venango, Crawford, and Erie. Page tw elve rk ^6 THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY There is in the right sort of normal school not only the specific and technical training, but also a training along broad and cul­ tural 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 true teacher—the teacher who can thrill his pupils with glimpses of new horizons and broader visions. THE FACULTY For the accomplishment of this chief aim of tiie school, the Board of Trustees maintains a faculty consisting of ex­ perienced 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 department devoted to the technical phases of method, each class is a practical laboratory of demonstration. THE STUDENTS After a visitor has seen the recitation rooms, the library, and the dormitories, after he has interviewed the faculty and the trustees, he will not be said to know the school unless he see the students themselves. 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. Page thirteen THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY “STUDENT INTERESTS” Student interests” is a name that has arisen in the last generation to describe the phases of student activities that are not especially directed by the faculty. It embraces all forms of athletics, dramatic interests, and student publications In all these branches the students at the Edinboro State Normal School maintain vigorous and healthful activities. The gym­ nasium and athletic teams are intended to benefit the entire body of students, the dramatic and publication fields are open to those who have partciular interest in these departments. In this group must also be placed the orchestra, the liter ary societies, the Young Women’s Christian Association, and the Young Men’s Christian Association. All of these organiza­ tions are well supported and add much to the school life. OUTDOOR GYMNASTICS Page fourteen THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY 1 i CORRIDOR OF HAVEN HALL DISCIPLINE The institution is maintained for the students. Only such regulations are made as tend to serve the welfare of its pat­ rons. 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 It 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 con­ ditions for study; outside of study hours, they endeavor just as earnestly to maintain an atmosphere of happy contentment, in surroundings that are inspiring and uplifting. Page fifteen ==« THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY =li GROUNDS AND BUILDINGS The campus of the school embraces twenty-eight acres of pleasantly situated land. On it may be found specimens of practically all the native trees—many of which represent over a half 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 guarded 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 north side of the cam- CAMPUS SCENE Page sixteen THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY pus. It is a substantial frame building" which houses the two literary societies and the commercial department. SCIENCE HALL Science Hall, a frame building, was constructed in 1858. It accommodates the physical and chemical laboratories, 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 symmetry and general air of quaintness will fade from the minds of those who know it. SOUTH HALL South Hall is the last of the old dormitories. Built in 1860, it was the center of school life for many generations. 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^ separated from the other buildings. Music Hall af­ fords an admirable home for the department of music. It was built-in 1862, and remodeled in 1878. It contains a pleasant assembly hall, practice rooms, and instructors’ studios. NORMAL HALL Normal Hall was built in 1875. In 1891 it was greatly en­ larged. 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 onq thousand. RECITATION HALL Recitation Hall is a monument to the originality of J. A. Cooper, ex-principal of the normal school, who forjthirty years was the best known man in common 'school life of Western Pennsylvania. It has six pleasant recitation rooms. All the Pajle seventeen I 1 THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY J CAMPUS BIRCHES 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. HAVEN HALL In 1903 a modern dormitory for the young women was con­ structed. It is a four-story structure of substantial 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, occu­ pies the first, or basement floor. THE GYMNASIUM The Gymnasium, built in 1906, is a thoroughly modern and practical building, with excellent equipment in the way of Page eighteen rk THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY 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 consists of three stories given over to dormitory purposes for the boys ; a large and well lighted basement makes a practical home for the man­ ual training department. Here, as in Haven Hall, the aim s 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. RECITATION HALL Page nineteen c THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY COURSES OF STUDY FOR THE EDINBORO STATE NOR­ MAL 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 sec­ ondary school constituting approximately a quarter of a full year’s work. This statement is designed to afford a standard of meas­ urement 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 year is from thirty-six to forty weeks, that a period is from forty to sixty minutes in length, and that the study is pursued for four or five periods a week; but under ordinary circumstances a satisfactory year’s work in any sub­ ject cannot be accomplished in less than one hundred and twenty sixty minute hours, or their equivalent. Schools organized on a different basis can nevertheless estimate their work in terms of this unit. Students admitted to the first year shall have a fair knowl­ edge of arithmetic, reading, orthography, penmanship, United States history, geography, grammar, physiology, civics, and the elements of algebra to quadratics.

SIDDELL Methods in Arithmetic JANE SWENARTON Psychology ELIZABETH MARY POWELL Methods in Drawing OLIVE PAYNE BEEMAN Special Methods CLASS IN BASKETRY—MODEL SCHOOL Page thiity-six THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY =ii THE TRAINING SCHOOL It is the aim of the Training Department to give prospec­ tive teachers practice in teaching under the best methods. In­ dividual work and originality on the part of the practice teach­ ers is put at a premium, but instruction in the best methods of teaching each subject is given. All teaching is done in the Edinboro Public School, and this makes the work more real than that of the ordinary model school. Each teacher is sup­ posed to take full charge of the room while teaching, and no interference or help is given, unless it is evident that she is unable to discipline and give proper instruction. Then, of course, the critic teacher is at hand to take charge. The discipline of the pupils is made as easy as possible. Every chance for freedom is given them. We believe that the more discipline, as such, is [necessary the less learning is possible. Every child is encouraged to act upon his best impulses, to feel free to do what he thinks is right. We believe that the best disciplined room is the one in which every one is free to do as he pleases, and yet does not please to disturb any one else. All the children are led to love the school, to feel that it is a place for pleasant activity and the exercise of their powers. The course of study is made as flexible as possible. Man­ ual training, music and drawing are taught in all the grades, by practice teachers under the supervision of the instructors in these branches at the Normal. PRIMARY METHODS This course will take up the special methods that are necessary with primary grades. Special attention will be given to the primary course of study, the different methods of teach­ ing primary reading, arithmetic, spelling, etc. Observation and practice in the training school will be a part of the course. PSYCHOLOGY The fundamental mental structures are taken up in this course; including among others, sensation, perception, emo­ tion, the will, habits, attention, and memory. The chief stress Page thirty-seven THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY is placed upon function, that is, how the mind works and acts, especially in the learning process. A text is used but the basis of the work is made up of a number of different books, which are referred to in the library. SENIOR METHODS This class is carried on in connection with the practice teach­ ing. Its aim is to furnish a basis for practical work in the class room rather than a theoretical discussion of education. In order to enable seniors to specialize in the particular kind of work they are preparing for, the class is divided into three groups. Primary, Advanced and Rural. Those who elect to ob­ serve and practice in the first four grades, will enter the pri­ mary group; those in the four upper grades, the advanced group; and those who elect to observe and practice in the Rural Practice School, the rural group. HISTORY OF EDUCATION An epitome of the educational world from the dawn of his­ tory to the present time is taken in this course. This is fol­ lowed by a more careful study of the great educators of each great epoch of the world’s history. Such persons as Plato, Jesus, Quintilian, Dante, Luther, Bacon, Comenius, Rosseau, Lccke, Froebel, Herbart, and Horace Mann, are discussed with stress upon the features in our modern systems which originated through them. Five hours; spring term. SOPHOMORE METHODS Roark’s method in education is covered by this class during the first half year. It is understood that Sophomores, who are not soon to put their work in practice, will not remember many facts from their study of methods. We strive, therefore, to develop an ability to think. The last part of the course is spent in presenting reports of different subjects which the class chooses. Everyone in the class is supposed to read some­ thing in the library for each report. Two members make special preparation for each report, reading the material that the library affords upon this special topic. Discussions and criticisms follow the report. Page thirty-eight yi ~ THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY % SCHOOL LAW AND SCHOOL MANAGEMENT In School Management Seeley’s text is covered; in school law the Pennsylvania code of 1911. The class seems to be able to finish the management section in the first two terms, and the spring term is given up to school law. METHODS IN HISTORY This course is developed on the basis of organization as the chief factor in teaching and studying history. The work con­ sists largely in the organization of the subject matter of his­ tory in the grades. No text is used, but the work is based MADE BY EIGHTH GRADE GIRLS Page thirty-nine E THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY largely on McMurry’s “How to Study and Teaching How to Study.” METHODS IN GEOGRAPHY The work in this course consists mainly in planning type lessons for the various grades. Home geography, map study, illustrative materials in geography and the correlation of geography are emphasized. PRINCIPLES OF EDUCATION This course is required of all who enter the junior year from first grade high schools who have not had the profes­ sional work required in the freshman and sophomore years. It is intended as a foundation for the later professional work of the course. The work is based on McMurray’s “How to Study,” and Dewey’s “How We Think.” SCHOOL HYGIENE There has been a deplorable ignorance on the part of teachers and school officers of the proper conditions of health and sanitation in the public schools. A better knowledge on the part of teachers of the principles of school hygiene and sanitation will be one step in the bringing about of better con­ ditions. The work of this course will be based on Dresslar’s School Hygiene. METHODS IN ARITHMETIC As this course of study follows logically the review of arith­ metic required by seniors, so in point of time, it is given in the winter term following the completion of the review of the sub­ ject matter in the fall term. The aim of the course is the preparation of efficient teachers of arithmetic in both primary and grammar grades. The course includes assigned readings on the history and development of the teaching of arithmetic, lectures, reports, illustrative lessons by pupil teachers with criticisms, class discussion, the writing of lesson plans and les­ son sketches. Emphasis is placed on the actual teaching work and criticisms thereof. Page forty "1 THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY RURAL SCHOOL METHODS This course is primarily [for those Seniors who elect to prepare to teach in one room country schools. Those who have made a study of the country school problem have come to feel that its solution lies largely in the definite preparation of teachers for service in the country schools. Enlightened and progressive County Superintendents are beginning to demand teachers who have a sympathy for and an insight into the problems of country life. The course is intended to meet this demand. Next year the theoretical work of the classroom will be emphasized and vitalized by observation and pratice in a model rural school. DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS Mr. Siddell, Mr. Sackett, Mr. Stancliffe, Miss Goodrich 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 elementary mathe­ matics. Accordingly the aim here is to develop strength of work in both mental 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 technical school will not present insurmountable difficulties to the student, nor will county and state examiners of pros­ pective teachers find indications of lamentable weakness in these subjects. 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 through­ out 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 Page forty two THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY 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 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. Students frequently 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 tbe 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 intelligently. Algebra and arithmetic are closely correlated. This course seeks to * * nr* CLASS IN PHYSICS Page forty-three THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY 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 es­ pecially 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 benefit of those who have not had this amount of preparatory work classes for beginners 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 Be­ lieving that the power to attack and solve original exercises is the true test of one’s geometric ability, it has been and will be the plan of the teachers to make extensive use of such ex­ ercises, choosing, however, a large number of exercises involv­ ing 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 between non­ use of mathmatical 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-half year is devoted to the study of trigonometry. The work includes definitions and relations of the six trigo­ nometric functions as ratios, circular measure of angles, proofs of the principal formulas, solution of trigonometric equations, theory and use of logarithms, and the solutions] of right and oblique triangles with practical applications. Page forty-four METHODS IN ARITHMETIC As this course of study follows logically the review of arithmetic required by seniors, so in point of time, it is given in the winter term following the completion of the review of the subject matter in the fall term. The aim of the course is the preparation of efficient teachers of arithmetic in both pri­ mary and grammar grades. The course includes assigned read­ ings on the history and development of the teaching of arith­ metic, lectures, reports, illustrative lessons by pupil teachers with criticisms, class discussion, the writing of lesson plans and lesson sketches. Emphasis is placed on the actual teach­ ing work and criticisms thereof. INDIAN PLAY, GLORY OF THE MORNING Page forty-five THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY ADVANCED ALGEBRA This course is designed for three classes of students, (1) those college preparatory students who desire to offer for col­ lege entrance the maximum amount required by any college or technical school, (2) normal school students who are graduates of first grade high schools and who wish additional work in mathematics without duplicating previous courses, (3) other students electing mathematics. The course will extend thoughout the year, the work of the first semester being com­ parable to what is sometimes designated “intermediate alge­ bra,” and that of the second semester to “advanced algebra.” The aim of the course will be to prepare prospective college students for the most exacting college entrance requirements and to expose all to the wonders and beauties of algebra that are wholly unsuspected by those discontinuing the study on or before studying quadratics. In the first semester the work will include a review of quadratics, ratio and proportion, theory of exponents, evolution, theory of quadratics, graphical inter­ pretation of quadratics, binomial theorem for fractional and negative exponents, arithmetic and geometric progressions. The work of the second semester will include undetermined coefficients, premutations and combinations, determinants of the second, third, and fourth orders, general theory of equa­ tions, and the solution of higher numerical equations. DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH Miss Swenarton. Miss Sullivan, Miss Goodrich, Miss Bauman 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 rix 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. Page forty-six THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY FRESHMAN COURSE A. Grammar in its elementary phases is studied. The course deals with the inflectional sides of the language. Analy­ sis 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 con­ science and pride in a matter that is often slighted. SOPHOMORE COURSE A. Composition is taught throughout the sophomore year. Theory and practice are 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 in­ crease knowledge of simple verse forms, and to develop skill in the arrangement of sentence elements. For a portion of the year, diary writing is followed with interest; this assures con­ stant 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 require­ ments 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. Page forty-seven THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY B. A similar course in American literature occupies four hours weekly in the spring term. The text is Halleck’s "American Literature.” SENIOR COURSE A. A rapid review of grammar, with special emphasis on sentence structure, is required of all seniors. Each student compiles a catalog of faulty expressions which arouses consid­ erable 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 grammar. The history of the subject is considered. A gen­ eral acquaintance with various texts is expected. Theories of classroom presentation of the subject are discussed. Individ­ ual members of the class are required to present plans for typ­ ical 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. ADVANCED ENGLISH A. The first two terms of advanced English are devoted to a study of the great literary forms of poetry. The ballad, the sonnet, the lyric, the epic, and the drama, are considered. At least one great example of each is studied in detail. B. One term of advanced English is devoted to daily par­ agraph writing. Subjects of great diversity are assigned, always with a view to provoking original thought and allowing variety of treatment. Each paper is read and briefly com­ mented upon before the class. rL THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY =1 :=J THE BABCOCK TEST DEPARTMENT OF SCIENCE Mr. Snyder, Mr. Baker, Mr. Stancliffe PHYSICS In the new four-year course, physics is required during the entire third year. The work is covered by laboratory prac­ tice and recitation, supplemented by current articles on new in­ ventions. The new physical 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 written re­ port on twenty-five experiments, and is encouraged to perform more for which due credit is given. A small laboratory fee of one dollar a 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; it deals with the phenomena of everyday Page forty-nine THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY 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. 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 laboratory exercises. The class work consists of discussion of prepared lessons, de­ monstration by the instructor, and solution of simple chemical problems. Each student is required to perform in the laboratry at least thirty-five experiments chosen from the list ac­ cepted by the college entrance board. THE SCHOOL GARDENS Page fifty THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY BIOLOGY Biology is required in the second year of the new course, forty weeks, four hours per week. Hunter's Essentials of Biology with Sharpe’s Laboratory Manual forms the basis of the work. Coliections of insects and of botanical specimens are made. Reports are required upon vital topics. Students util­ ize the latest government bulletins and reports in the work as well as current science literature. AGRICULTURE AND NATURE STUDY Agriculture is required for two full terms, four periods a week. Three periods are given to recitation and discussion and one to laboratory practice. Twenty experiments covering the propagation of plants; soils and soil solutions; preparation of insecticides and fungicides, together with the actual use of the Babcock milk tester, are required. Warren’s “Elements of Agriculture” is used as a basis for the text requirements. A suitable text in nature study will be used in .addition. SCHOOL GARDEN COURSE The course consists of discussion and laboratory periods. The discussions take up the purpose and practice of the work; the planning and planting of the garden; the need and use of plant food; the method of handling children in gardens, and civic problems involved in such cases. Insect life and methods of control suitable for children will be considered. The labo­ ratory work will cover the use and care of tools; ways of de­ termining proper planting depths ; the construction and use of simple apparatus for indoor and outdoor gardens; and busy work for all grades. In the garden each student will receive practice in spading, planting, and caring for a plot of suitable size for children. GEOLOGY Geology is offered in the Junior year as a substitute for either Solid Geometry or Trigonometry, and is required for twenty weeks, five hours a week. Page fifty-one THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY i ASTRONOMY Astronomy is offered in the Junior year as a substitute for either Solid Geometry or Trigonometry, and is given during the second half, twenty weeks, flve hours a week. 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 aiffering from his own. Aside from the pre­ scribed 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. Nine terms of German are offered in the regular Normal course, although more advanced work can be given if there is a sufficient number of requests for it. First Year. Elements of grammar. Elementary German Grammar, Wesselhoeft. 1. Conversational exercises. 2. Composition. 3. Memory work, simple poems. 4. Reading. German Life, Allen. Second Year. Grammar review. Detailed study of the subjunctive mode. Composition based on texts read. Conversational exercises based on texts. Reading. Kreuz and Quer durch, Deutsche Lande, Immensee, Wilhelm Tell. Third Year. The work of the third year is based on the following texts : Das Lied von der Glocke, Frau Sorge, Pole Poppenspaeler, and Muendliche und Schriftliche Uebungen. 1. Reading from above named texts. 2. Oral reproductions, abstracts and paraphrases from texts studied. 3. Grammar. Rapid review of conjugation and declension. Page fifty-two rk THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY 4. Composition. Short themes on assigned subjects. Practice in dictation. 5. Miscellaneous exercises for conversational purposes, based on Muendliche und Schriftliche Uebungen. 6. Memory work. Parts of Das Lied von der Glocke. HISTORY Mr. Sackett History explains the past, interprets the present, and pre­ dicts the future. It is both an informing source and an educa­ tional means. In our history courses such a selection and presentation of historical facts is attempted as seems most likely to aid the student to benefit by the latent possibilities of the subject. The courses are: 1. Ancient. As much as is offered in West’s Ancient World or Webster’s Ancient History. 2. English. As much as is offered in Cheyney or Andrews, etc. OUT DOOR GYMNASTICS Page fifty-three THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY 3. United States. As much as is offered in McLaughlin, Hart, etc. Pennsylvania. In the spring term a brief course in the history of Pennsylvania is given if there is sufficient demand for it. CIVICS Mr. Sackett The aim of the course in civics is to give the students a practical vrorking knowledge of American political institutions. A text is used as the basis of the work, and this is supple­ mented by 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. GEOGRAPHY Mr. Stancliffe A thorough review in geography is given in the junior year. The course covers one term, five hours a week. In the last few years geography has assumed new import­ ance 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 light of their influ­ ence 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 Page fifty-four THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY to impart information as to lead students to inquire into and think about the physical facts and phenomena with which they come in 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, preparation of papers on assigned subjects, and field work. The region around Edinboro is rich in glacial markings, and furnishes much inter­ esting matter for field work. PHYSICAL TRAINING Mr. Hayes The physical training department affords an opportunity for all students to engage in recreative and developing exer­ cise, in order that they may enjoy healthful living, build up their physique, and keep themselves in a vigorous working con­ dition. As the reciprocal relations of body and mind are better undertsood, the value of properly selected physical exercise as a means of quickening sense perceptions, strengthening the will and developing the powers of attention 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 climb­ ing pole; 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 educa­ tive, interesting and enjoyable. Page fifty-five THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY BOYS' CLASS—OUT DOOR GYMNASTICS 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, gray trousers, and gymnasium shoes. PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE This course consists of text-book study, recitations, lec­ tures 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, including 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. Page fifty-six THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY The well trained teacher should be familiar with these agents, and know how to influence them towards the main­ tenance of health and the prolongation of life. DOMESTIC SCIENCE AND MANUAL TRAINING Miss Powell, Mr. Frost. Mrs. Baker 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 re­ quired 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. A large cooking laboratory has been fitted up during the present year. Specially designed work tables and full equip­ ment has been installed. Electric stoves are in place on each table. A large electric range is also used for the baking and the heavier work. A complete course in cooking is outlined under Special Courses in this catalog. MUSIC DEPARTMENT Miss Thomas, Miss Woodruff This department offers three courses: viz., a course in pianoforte, a vocal course and a supervisor’s course in public school music. The time required for each of these courses is about two years. Page fifty-seven THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY PIANOFORTE The course includes the study of the instrument, harmony, and history of music. The technical work in scales, rhythm^ thirds, sixths, tenths chords, all forms, arpeggios, octaves, studies of Kaulau, Clementi, Loeschhorn, Czerny, Duverncy, Matthews, Kohler, Heller, and Sonatas of Beethoven, Mozart] etc., are supplemented by pieces selected from the best com­ posers. Some time is devoted to ensemble playing, transposition, memorizing and accompanying. VOICE The work in voice training consists of breath control, tone formation, and placement, flexibility of the voice, sight reading REAP THE FLAX—SENIOR MAY DAY Page fifty-eight k THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY GIRLS 'VARSITY and public performance. Vocalizes of Viardot, Sieber, Concone, Lutgen, Marchesi, Spicker, and others, are used and songs, both modern and classic, are studied. The student is required to appear on the programs of the recitals given from time to time, and to belong to one of the glee clubs of the school. SUPERVISOR’S COURSE Much emphasis is laid on our course in Public School Music. This course requires voice training, harmony, observation and practice teaching which is done in our large model school, and history of music. One year and one term is given to THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY preparation and observation and in the remaining two terms the practice teaching is done. Students who take this course find it a most interesting one. STATE AID. State aid may be had for all class work in the Supervisor’s course: hence the tuition is small, the private voice lessons being the only expense to the student. EAR TRAINING CLASS An ear training class is held for those taking the Public School Music course, but each one taking either vocal or in­ strumental work is urged to attend this class; much benefit may be derived from the work done here. HARMONY One year of harmony is required for these courses. The text book, Emery’s Elements of Harmony, is completed during this time. NORMAL MUSIC CLASSES Five periods a week for ten weeks is given the freshman class for the study of fundamentals of music, sight singing and chorus work. Three periods a week during the fall term is given by the senior class to the review of fundamentals of music, a grading of problems, methods of presentation and practice teaching. ORCHESTRA A student orchestra is maintained which meets once a week for rehearsal under the head of the department. The orchestra plays each morning in chapel and for school functions. The membership is free and all music is furnished by the school. GLEE CLUB I’J The membership requirement ’of this organization is the ability to read ordinary music. Page sixty • IL THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY VIOLIN, PIPE ORGAN, ETC. For those desiring to study pipe organ, violin, etc., an instructor is available. MODEL PIANO PUPILS A limited number of children will he admitted into the music department as model students for teachers in piano, who are receiving supervised instruction in teaching. These pupils will be charged $3.60 per term for two private lessons per week. Application should be made to the Director of the Music Department before the opening of the term by those wishing places as model students. CLASS LESSONS IN VIOLIN Arrangements have been made whereby beginners on the violin can receive class instruction at a very reduced rate. It is the wish of the department to create a greater interest in violin, cornet and other orchestra and band instruments and make it possible for children to have instruction in the study of these instruments at a cost within the reach of all. VIOLIN, CORNET Private lessons in these instruments are given at the same rate as piano instruction. Shorter periods for private instruc­ tion for beginners can be arranged. ART DEPARTMENT Miss Powell The time is near at hand when a knowledge of drawing 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 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 and perspecPage sixty-one THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY tive 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, psychology 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 charcoal, psychology of form, its place in education, graded illustrative work, details of supervision, and training in model school, are parts of the work. REQUIRED READING Art for Art’s Sake—Van Dyke. Art for the Eye—Ross Turner. Study of Child Nature—E. Harrison. The Furnishing of a Modest Home—Daniels. How to Enjoy Pictures.—M. S. Emery.

Page sixty-three THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY THE LIBRARY Miss Wilson The library, situated on the second floor of Norma! 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 classifi­ cation. The library contains also, about four thousand govern­ ment publications, not catalogued. It' is especially strong in periodical literature, several hundred volumes being bound and treated as reference books. These are valuable to students; the copies of “Poole’s Index’’ and “Reader’s Guide to Period­ ical Literature’’ make magazine articles on any subject easily accessible. The library is well supplied with daily and weekly news­ papers, many of which are sent by the courtesy of the pub­ lishers for the benefit of the students from their locality.

The registration fee of $3.00 per term admits the student to the regular numbers of the Lecture Course and to the athletic games scheduled by the Board of Trustees. The fee of $1.00 for Special Departments does not. Students registering in both the regular and a special depart­ ment need pay only the $3.00 registration fee. No part of the registration fee is refunded for any cause. No person rooming in the school will be permitted to board elsewhere. Only when the school cannot accommodate students with rooms will they be allowed to only board in the school. An extra charge of $.75 per week will be made to students who desire to room alone. Rooms are fully furnished except a com­ fort for the bed. Lamps will be replaced in students’ rooms during the term only at the expense of the occupants. For board and room during winter and spring vacations a charge of $4.75 per week will be made, this rate to take effect at noon on the day following the close of the term and to cease at noon on the day of opening of the next term as indicated by the school calendar for the year. The State pays the tuition of all students who are seven­ teen years of age, and who sign an agreement to teach two full terms in the common schools of the State. In case of a deficit in State Aid, students in the different normal schools will receive their pro rata .share of the appropriation. The State has paid all in recent years. Students not receiving State Aid will be required to pay tuition at the rate of $1.60 per week. Students taking instruction in Agriculture, Chemistry, Domestic Science, Manual Training or Physics will be required to pay to the Registrar in advance the fee charged for each subject. No part of any fee is refunded. The fee charged for Manual Training is for upkeep and supply of tools and machinery and not for materials used. Products of students’ gardens are the property of the school. PAYMENTS One half the term charge for room rent, board, tuition. Page sixty-seven THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY WORK OF MANUAL TRAINING CLASS etc,, is due and payable at the time of registration, and the other half at the middle of the term. No student will be en­ rolled unless the bills of the previous terms are paid in full. Diplomas and certificates of credit will not be issued to those whose bills are unpaid. A fee of $2.00 is charged for a diploma in any of the special courses. DEDUCTIONS No deduction will be made from the term rates in any de­ partment of the school in the case of students who are absent during all or any part of the last two weeks of any term. No deduction will be made for two weeks or less. For more than Page sixty-eight r THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY two consecutive weeks’ absence on account of persona! illness, a deduction of $3.00 per week will be made to students board­ ing in the school. It is understood that by the resolution of the Board of Trustees adopting this schedule of rates, all former resolutions, special regulations and privileges whatsoever, are revoked and that, after July 1, 1916 the rates herein given shall be the registrar’s only guide and authority in arranging rates and assessing bills for any and all patrons of the Edinboro State Normal School.

Page seventy THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY 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 that 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 seventy-five 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 year’s teaching serv­ ice, and that that service, besides dis­ charging the debt, brings the one who renders if a reason­ able wage. ADVANTAGES Edinboro offers the Page seventy-one THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY A advantages of a school atmos­ phere 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 build­ ings, 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. TO EDINBORO Edinboro is reached by trolley from Erie, Cambridge Springs and Meadville. Cars leave Erie on the half hour, Cam­ bridge Springs and Meadville on the hour, stopping in front of the school campus. In Erie, baggage checks should be deliv­ ered to the Erie Transfer Company, which will transfer bag­ gage to the depot of the Erie Traction Company. All baggage should be checked to the Normal School. 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 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 Page seventy-two w THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY Stz taken. This deposit, minus rental, is re­ turned to the student on return of the books. ROOMS Rooms in Reeder and Haven Halls should be reserved, as there are not enough to accommo­ date 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. In case the dormitories cannot accommodate all who apply for rooms, permission will be given to room with private families and board in the school dining hall. 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 con­ duct of their tenants. Any dis­ regard for the rules is at once re­ ported. Some landlords have 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 wi.sh to do Page seventy-three THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY their own laundry work may do so in the laundry povided by the school. CHURCH AND RELIGION As a State school, religious denomina­ tional ism is barred. There are in Edinboro four prosperous con­ gregations which students are urged to join in public wor­ ship. The Presbyterians, the Adventists, the Baptists and the Methodists are represented. The Catholic boys and girls usually attend services at Cambriage Springs. Among the students there are various religious organizations that are prosperous and effective in the students’ lives. While the normal school senses the supreme place of relig­ ion, it clearly recognizes that the mission of the school is to the intellectual side of life. It believes that in training hon­ est and consistent workers it is best serving the interest of the State and the individual. The province of the chucrh is not infringed upon. LITERARY SOCIETIES The Potter and the Philo societies are the centers of one phase of student inter­ est. Both societies are doing effective work, and enjoy a friendly riv­ alry. LECTURE COURSE In the normal lecture course an attempt is made to bring to the students a series of pub­ lic entertainments that Page seventy-four THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY 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 7:46 a. m. to 3:30 p.m., and from 7:00 p. m. to 10:00 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 him­ self 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 education fostered. The matter of boys and girls on the same campus is not looked upon as a necessary evil, but as a whole.some situation for just the type of educational work that a normal school must do. PERMITS As the school at any hour is ex­ pected to be able to locate any student who is enrolled, it be­ comes necessary to require that each student ask a permit from the office before leaving town. When a student is absent from Page seventy-five THE EDIHBORO QUARTERLY class for any cause, he must procure a written permit from the Princi­ pal before he can re­ sume his school work in any class. VISITORS All visitors should so time their visits as to interfere as little as pos­ sible with the schedule of the students. While any student may be reached by telephone, all persons are requested to use this means of communication 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 ac­ count of sickness or other necessity. HIGH SCHOOL CREDITS The matter of high school credits may be settled by con­ sulting the conditions of admission under courses of study in this catalogue DIPLOMAS Candidates for grad­ uation are examined by the state hoard of ex­ aminers 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 Page seventy-six r THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY permits the holder to teach in the public schools of Pennsyl­ vania 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 high­ est grade. The holder is permitted to teach in the public schools of Pennsylvania 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 character and skill in the art of teaching, signed by the board or boards of directors by whom he was employed, and countersigned by the superintendent of the county in which he taught. Blank applications may be ob­ tained at the office of the principal. FOOTBALL TEAM Page seventy-seven THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY CLASS ROLLS CLASS 1915 REGULAR NORMAL COURSE GIRLS Abbott.
