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
freedom from malaria.
The surroundings are highly favorable, for the advancement of
education. The moral and religious Sentiment of the community
is well calculated to throw around the student'the most favorable
influences. The town, with a population of about 2,500, has seven
evangelical churches of different denominations, to all of which the
students have free, access upon the Sabbath, and are heartily wel­
comed. The temptations to evil are few, and the moral atmo­
sphere is such as to restrain the thoughtless and wayward.
The buildings are situated on an elevated plateau north of the
town, commanding an extended view of the valley and the sur­
rounding1mountains in every direction. They were erected in
1871 and 1872, at a cost of over $>125,000.:
The interior arrangements of the building have been planned
with special reference to the wants of a Normal School. The
Chapel, one of the finest halls in the State, will seat comfortably
one thousand persons. The dormitories and recitation rooms
have been arranged and furnished with special reference to the
comfort and convenience of the students. The building is heated
throughout by steam, and lighted by gas. A copious supply •
of pure spring water is distributed by pipes through the building,
so as to be accessible at all times.
The grounds comprise over ten acres principally devoted to the
use of students for purposes of recreation.
The Cumberland Yalley Railroad skirts.the southern boundary
of the school grounds, and a station in front of the school build­
ing affords students and others visiting the school, the advantage
of reaching it readily and without expense for porterage.

Attention is directed to the fact that the building being lighted
by gas there is no expense to the student attendant upon the
1 breakage, of chimneys, lamps, etc. ; that being heated by steam,
■ there is no inconvenience in keeping fires 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 their rooms and halls are as well
cared for as in. any well regulated ladies’ boarding school.
A careful consideration of the foregoing is asked of those who
are disposed to consider the matter of expense.

Object o f the Norm al School.

Huxley says: “ The/course of study in the pr:rnary school should
embrace all the' branches taught in the University.” This is the
thought of all enlightened educators. True educational evolution
requires that: the. primary school should grow into the high school,
the high school into the college, and the college into the university.
The-university is. not a school of a kind peculiar to itself, and in- ' •:
dependent of all other schools.;.- it is rather the matured, fullgrown, fully developed, elementary.school. I t is necessary;;, then,
that those who, conduct thesefelementary schools should possess J
the knowledge, and the skill requisite to so, shape and-direct the '
growth, on the part of the individuals forming these schools, .that
the mature being shall h,e symmetrical and complete.
It is just here that the Normaffschpql aims.to supply a pressing
Want. I t does a work that never has been done and never can be
done by other institutions.lt bears the same relation to the pro­
fession of teaching, that th e . Law school' does to ■the Lawyer,
the Medical school to the Physician, or-the Theological, school to
the Clergyman. Th e -Normal school is peculiar in th is: that while
in the high school and the college the student studies subjects from
the standpoint of the learner only, in the Normal school he must
study them from the standpoint of both the learner and instructor,
and besides must test his knowledge and skill by actual practice
in the art of instruction.
The object of the Normal school is the preparation of teachers 1
for their profession. But this preparation demands-both profes. 'sional training and a knowledge of the branches. While the pro­
fessional part of the work wil®receive; Sts full share of attention,
no effort will be spared to make strong, practical scholars of its
students. The Normal school then offers, peculiar inducements,
'not- only to those who are preparing tpl teach, but also to those ;
who ,are seeking a general education.

Special attention is given to Mental Philosophy and Methods
of Instruction. Approved text-books are used,.but also., by means
of lectures and discussions, the Philosophy of mind, under thé form
of the Intellect, the Sensibilities, and the Will, is extended to in ­
clude the doctrine of Moral Obligatiin^thus giving the student a
I clear and comprehensive knowledge of the subject.
By daily work Jot the Model School for at least twenty-one
weeks, pupils are prepared for future work in the school room.
They receive thorough training in methods and practice of teach­

means the study of English prose and verse, and a constant prac­
tice in Composition.
The aim, therefore,:i |» th is department of our School, is: (1)
To give the pupil a good laiow'edge’of his mother tongue, embracingfits history', „structure, and philological relations ; '(2|aTo.
cultivate the power-of thought, and to aid and encourage the pupil
in the: expression .of thought, in the form of both verbal and
written composition-, (a^ 'To form and cultivate a taste; for good
literature,, .and to lead thè pupil by successive steps up to the
appreciation Of theEnglish classics, which, in the advanced elasse.-qare studied critically, and with no less zeal>and faithKLness
than the ancient classics are in our best colleges ; (4) So to illus­
trate the principi® which should guide in selecting authors
and works to read as to give the pupil aptitude and zest for read­
ing after he has left schoolis*
The Seniob Coubse^in, English Literature will include the

One year’s study of Latin is required for, graduation. The aim
in our instruction is to make the pupil thoroughly acquainted
with the grammatical forms of the language and the philosophical '
principles underlying the syntax, keeping constantly in mind the
fundamental distinctions between the Latin and our own, dwelling*
particularly on those points in the former which serve to illustrate
and explain the latter. PartfSSar attention, is therefore, paid to
Etymology, Morphology, and the laws of decay and growth in
language, by means of which the etymology of the Boman element
of our tongue is fully exemplified, and the student is taught to see;
that there is a history!of language and history in language.

Th^bbject of this department is;'to secure ¡InaturaLéasy style
of delivery. To this end students are required to give carefully
prepared readings and recitations from the rosfirum.
Clear, distinct; enunciation is not less important in daijfjprecitaliions and eonversatiilMhan on the platform,lind to secure this,
students are thoroughly trained in the principles; which underlie
good articulation.
In advanced classés; Special atf|ntiOn is given to Yocal Culture

INDUSTRIAL DRAWING.
The wide spread introduction of Drawing in our schools renders
it necessary that teachers be prepared to give, instruction, in this
important and now all practical branch of education.., V.
The latest and most approved methods have been pursued with
very satisfactory results.

From the first step in thek.çpurse an effort is made to render the
work attractive. Designs for special purposes,;,' wall paper, oil
, cloths, pottery, laces, embroidery, &c., enter largely into.class
exercises.
Those who wish can take a spécial;bourse in drawing which
will fit them for positions as teachers, or to enter the office of a
draughtsman or designer.

U. S. HISTORY AND CONSTITUTION.
In order to prepare our* students for their duties asyjCitizens, a
thorough study is m ad e^f the history and, constitution of our
government. Our aim is, (1) To trace ;the .origin,. development
apd growth of our country and institutions ; (2) To keep in mind
the unity of history ; (8)’ To trace causes to 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) To impress, upon the minds of the pupils the necessity of up­
holding our institutions and ¡government ; (6) To broaden the
Views of the student and Tesftd him to appreciate the great ques­
tions which from time to time our citizens are called upon to de­
cide at the ballot-box. Text book recitations are mostly discard­
ed, and the Student’s knowledge' of the subject is called into r e ­
quisition.

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 knowl­
edge of thegtrt and .seien|te£ accounts to fit him; for transacting
intelligently the business off, ¡every-day life. The elements of
Contracts, the nature of Drafts, 'Checks; Notes, &c., are thorough-^
ly studiedjand supplemented by a .course of lectures on the nature
and functions of money. Practice is given in writing the various
forms of paper used in commercial transactions.

PHYSICAL CULTURE.
Students have need of regular, methodical, physical exercise.
W e propose that every student, not specially excused,- shall prae-’" •
tiee; Calistheni^pôr 'gymnastics daily, and observe all known hygi-

struction, personal advice .and careful superintendence' will be
given, ill the belief that gpod health, is ‘a prime requisite to mental
and moral education.
SO C IAL CUITU.RIJ.
The divine model of the;.school is the perfect family, where
youth of both sexes, under- the restraints- of parents, strengthen
and refine each other mutually by their complementary qualities.
In recitations, ||eneral'exercises in Chapel, and occasional gather­
ings in parlors, in presence of instructors, ladies and gentlemen
will meet and find opportunities' for sbcialUCulture.
M O RAL A N D R E L IG IO U S CULTURE.
While in no sense or degretiisbctarian,State Normal School in
■and for a Ghristain State anti'a Christian people should be Chris. tain in the;broadest and best sense of the term. W e believe that
the Bible is the best text-book of morals; I t will,-; therefore, be
read daily in the opening exercises of the schools, with prayer and
sacred songs.
Bible classes are held on Sabbath evening, which all the boarding
students are required to attend. There is, also, a prayer meeting on
WednCsday evening, which is voluntarily attended by both pro- fessors and students. The students, are required to attend some
one of the churches of the borough every Sabbath morning.
'
T E X T BOOKS.
Text-boobs and 'Stationery can be had at the lowest selling
prices at the Book Edom of the building. So far as we can, we
use the text books in common use in the schools of this State, but
' for the sake of uniformity, a few books will, ordinarily have to be
purchased, ;
NO RM AL A N D P Til COMA THE A N SO C IETIES.
. These Societies meet-in separate halls-on Friday evening of each
week, for literary purposes.' Great interest; is taken in the exer­
cises by the students; and the experience thus gained tin public
speaking: is of great benefit to the pupils. The Libraries of these
