History
and Grounds.
j of Buildings
o

This School is located at Shippensburg, Cumberland County,
Pa., in one of the most beautiful and fertile valleys of the State,
justly celebrated for its healthy, invigorating atmosphere’, and free­
dom from malaria.
The surroundings are highly favorable for the advancement of
education. The moral andv religious sentiment of the community'
is well calculated to throw' aïound?fhe student the most favorable
influences. The town, with à population of about 2,500, has
seven evangelical churches of differenti Senominations, to all of
which the students have free acdessj upon the Sabbath, and- are
heartily welcomed.
The temptations to evil are few,_aod
mora|Jàtmosphëfe is su cflas to restrain the thoughtless and way­
ward.
The buildings are situated on an elevated plateau north of the
town," commanding. an extended view of the valley and the sur­
rounding mountains in every direction. They were erected in
1871 and 1872, at a cost of over $125,000,
T he interior arrangements of the buildings have been planned
w it s special reference to the wants o f a Normal School. The
Chapel, one o f the finiest halls,,in the State, will seat comfortably
one thousand persons. Theiâbrmitôries;ànd recitation-rooms have
been arranged and furnished with special reference to the comfort
and convenience of the students. The building is heated through­
out by steam, and lighted by gas. A copious; supply of pure
spring water is distributed by pipés through the building, so aS to
be accèssibléfeàt all times-.',''
The grounds comprise over ten acres, principally devoted to
the use of students for purposes^ of recreation.
The Cumberland Valley Railroad skirts, the southern boundary'
of the school grounds, and a station in front of the school-building
affords students, and others visiting the school the advantage of
reaching it readily and without'expense for. porterage. ,
Two new roads— the Baltimdfehnd Cumberland Vailey and the
Harrisburg and Potomac— furnish additional "facilities fôr reaching
the school.

Attention is directëÇto the fact that the building being lighted
by gas there is no expense to the student attendant upon the
breakage of |himneys, lamps, etc.; thaijbeing heated by steam,
there is no inconvenience in keeping fir ll and carrying coal and
ashes ; that water being carried ■ through the building in pipes, it
is at all times easily obtained.
The attention of lady students is especially invited to the fact
that they are not necessarily exposed to the inclemency of the
weather at any time, and that B eir rooms and halls are as well-',
cared for as in any well-regulated ladies’ boarding school. .
A careful consideration o f’ the foregoing is asked of those who
are disposed to consider the matter of expense.
A t meals, each table of fen persons is in charge of a member of
the faculty, thus securing correct deportment, careful attention to
table etiquette, and no distinction in fare for teachers and pupils.
While the special work of the Normal School is to prepare its
graduates for teaching in public schools, the methods of instruc­
tion pursued are those which afe calculated to bring about the
best results, not alone to those preparing to teach, but to the gen­
eral student as well.
Students -and graduates from the State Normal School much
more readily find employment as teachers than students from
other schools;'
The diploma from the State Normal School is a perpetual State
certificate, giving authority to teach anywhere in the State without
further examination by authorities acting under the provisions of
our common school laws.
We have frequent applications from school-boards for good
teachers. Teachers of large experience come^herp to better
qualify themselves for their work. Thus we are enabled to furnish
good teachers with good positions, and good positions with good
teachers.

The object of the Normal School§j| tSlabor faithfully and zeal­
ously to prepare those under its care for successful work in the
various^schools of our State. We strive to secure, by study, discipline, and instruction, thorough scholarship in the; prescribed
cours^of study, and, at all times, by our teaching, endeav<2|to use
the best methods for producing these results, being assured that there
is no better way by which to render our students Successful teachers
than by using the best methods of instruction during each recitation.
We claim that .each recitation-room, in itself, should, by the
character of its work, be a Normal School— each teaching, by its
daily drill, the best methods of presenting the various subjects,
The summation of all our work is to teach how to- tetfeh.
We send our graduates Forth, not td/JiSch dissatisfaction with the
positions occupied by the parents of the pupils, of the present gen­
eration, but to more thoroughly qualify them by their superior adit
vantages, to fulfill the demands o f the age in accordance with the
spirit of the times.
We do not advance the idea that scshdpis bf a different character
have not furnished, and do not continue to furnish, many excellent
teachers; but we claim that Schools organized for any special work
accomplish more than those engaged in ^#mz/edficationa]. work.
The success of a large proportion of the graduates of Normal
Schools, in the.several States in which they have been established,
fully corroborates the assertion.

and methods,; ¡but with a noble ambition to do aiPih their power
to make our schools more efficient in the ground-work of educat­
ing ;ihose placed under their charge,
In addition to the requirements of the law, our Seniors., spend

P artial Gourse.— Students preparing for college or business, be­
sides their special studies, can take up others in the regular course,

Mental and Moral Philosophy and Methods of itestruct'ion.
Special attention is given fô Mental Philosophy and Methods of
Instruction. Approved text-books are used, but also by means of
lectures and discussions, the Philosophy of Mind, under fhé;'form
of the Intellect, the Sensibilities, and the Will, is extended to in*
elude the'doctrine cof Moral Obligation, thus giving the Student a
clear and Comprehensive knowledge of thçUsubjëçt.
By daily work in the Model School for at leasttwenty-one wglks,
pupils are prepared for future work in the school-room. They
receive thorough training-in methods and practice of teaching the
subjects taught in the Common Schools, the. work being: |pne
under the personal supervision and direction of the Principal of
the school.
The methods used are those approved by thefjablest and most
experienced educators.
By regular daily drill the teacher has
Constant practice in imparting what he is receiving, arid thus
theory and practice are made to go hand in hand,

English Language and Literature.
It is admitted on all sides that the English language cannot be
mastered by the study o f Grammar only, nor by mere reading.
The theory of language is the expression of thought, correctly
and concisely. The study of the English language in its widest
sense means the study of English' prose and verse, and a constant

LA I IN LANGUAG 1^1

One year’s study of Latin is required for graduation. The aim
in our instruction is to /make .thePrafail thoroughly acquainted with
the grammatical forms of the language and the philosophical prin­
ciples underlying the syntax, keeping constantly in mind the fundamentaj distinctions between the Latin and our own, dwelling par­
ticularly on those points in the former which serve to illustrate and
explain the latter. Particular attention .,is thereforfeLpaid to Ety­
mology, Morphology,' and the laws of decay and growth in lan­
guage, by means of whhjjl the etymology of the Roman element
of our tongue is fully exemplified, and the student is taught to see
that there is a history of language and a histqry in language.

MATHEMATICS.
Arithmetic, Algebra, and Geometry are the three branches re­
quiring completion in the elementary Course. This department
being one of special importance in the course, the instruction will
be given with care and thoroughness, so that ¡the diligent student
will be fully up to the standard at the time of graduation.
Surveying we make practical by allowing the student the use of
the transit in the field, aided by the teacher.

VOQAL AND INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC
As the world grows more enlightend the demand for music in­
creases. In response to the demand we are able now to furnish
such instruction as; is most needed.
In the Vocal Department are given, free'of extra charge, Class
Lessons, in which pupils are taught the Rudiments of Music and
the Theory of (Sight Singing. Practice in singing the best part

songs and choruses furnishesmbt ptily the néegssary drill in read­
ing music, but also á knowledge of good music. Those taking
the Professional Course receive instruction in the best methods of
teaching music, and thus are prepared to supply one of the great­
est needs of the times, that of teachers.of music in public schools.
The increasing popularity of the Department of Vocal angllnstrument¿t"íji^i®s;sufi5éí6nt evidene||iôf theijnusual advantages
offered. Vocal cúlture is taught in “ilpordarice with the Italian
Method, as interpreted by thé best teachers ofthatSchool. The
method is basèd upon a thorough knowledge of the anatomical
construction of the vocal organs, acknowledge'sb uñen neglected
and yetfîso necessary to the perfect;, understanding of so dêlicâte a
musical instrument aá the human larynx.
A thorough knowledge of Piano Technics is taught’tht&ugh fhé
studies of Czerny, Krauss, Kohler, Heller, ChopinNknd other!?,’
and style and artisti&expression arQjStudied from the best com­
posers of ancient and modern times.

careful attention.

collection' o f PlhlbOhphièàl an® Chemical apparatus,, of which fre­
quent use is made in the regular récitatibns.

THE MUSEUM.

Specimens, ample for? the instructional needs of the?s;tudent in this
department. A Herbarium, containing specimens of all the nar
tive plants as found in Gray, is being prepared) together'with
specimens of our various woods..

of delivery. Toijhis: end 5tuden|| are requhedlto. give carefully
prepared readings and regi.tatiohs from thé rostrum.

tions and conversation than on the p lS o rm , and to segure this-,
students are thoroughly trained in the principles, which underlie
good articulation.

INDUSTRIAL DRAWING.
The widespread introduction of Drawing in our schools renders
if necessary that teaChe'rs be prèpared to give'instruction in this
important and now a’lT practical branch o f education.
The latest and most approved methods have been pursued' with
very satisfactory results.
From the first step in the, course an effort is made to render the
work attractive. Designs for spC.ciaSpurpos.es, wall-papérj oil­
cloths, .potteryBàçës, embroidery, etc., enter largely into class .
exercises,.
Those who wish can take ajspècial course ini;drawing, which will
fit them for positions as teachers, or to enter the office of a draughts­
man or d||igner.

United States History arid Constitution.
In order to prepare our students fo r‘ their duties as citizens, a
thorough study ist made of the history and Constitution of our
Government. ' Our aim is: i. To trace the origin, development,
and growth of our country and institutions. 2. To keep in mind
the unity of history. 3. To trace causes tp: their effects, and con­
stantly to go back of every effect to find its cause. 4. To show
'the advantages of our form of government over every, other form.
5. T q:impress upon the mihdssbf the pupils the necessity of up­
holding our institutions and Government.
6. To broaden the
views of the student and lead him to appreciate the great questions
which, from time to time, our citizens are called upon to decide at
the ballot-box. Text-book recitations are mostly discarded, and
the student’s knowledge of the subject is called into réquisition.

BOOK-KEEPING.
Book-keeping by single entry is required in order to graduation,
and in this study the aim is 'to give the student sufficient knowledge
of the art and .¡science of accounts ;t'o fit him for transacting, in-'
telligently, the business of every-day life. The elements o f Con­
tracts,, the nature of Drafts, Checks, Notes, &ëïy are thoroughly
studied and supplemented by a course of lectures on the nature
and functions of money.- Practice is given ih writing the various
forms of paper used in commercial transactions.

MORAL AND RELIGIOUS CULTURE.
While in no Sense or degree-sectarian, a. State Normal School in
and for ¡a Christian State and a Christian people should be Christian
in the broadest and best raise of the term. We believe that the
Bible is the.best text-book of morals.- It will, therefore, be read
daily in the opening exercises of the isfchools, with prayer and
sacred songs.
There is a prayer-meeting on Wednesday evening, which is vol­
untarily attended by both professors and students. The students
are- required to attend .some one of the churches of the borough
every Sabbath morning. .

HOME COMFORTS
It is ,a well-established fact that Mental labor is many times more
exhaustive-, than Physical labor.
No one requires more nutritious food than the student. ,i ‘ Much
study is weariness.-pf the flesh.” .
In order that studentSmay reach the highest degree of intel­
lectual growth, we hold that they, should have fop^d,. .abundant in
quantity and excellent in quality.
. The Principal, therefor^ pays special attention to the table,
which is not surpassed by any school in the1«State in the abovementioned respects.

TEXT-BOOKS.
Text-books and Stationery can be had at the lowest selling prices
at the Book-room of the building. So farlSs we can, we use the
text-books in common use in the Schools of this State, but for the
sa k S o f uniformity, a fewEiooks will ordinarily have to be pur­
chased.

Normal andvfPhilomathean Societies.
These Societies mept in separate halpion Friday everting of each
week for literary purposes. Great interest' is taken in the exercises
by the students, and the experience thus gained in public speaking
is o if-great benefit to the pupils. The Libraries of these Societies
form a valuable addition to that of the Normal, and include many
works of the best English and American literature, as well as books
of reference in the various departments of study.
