BLOOMSBURG LITERARY INSTITUTE
Outline of Four Years'

Normal School Course

As finally revised and adopted December 30th, 1910.
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
secondary school constituting approximately a quarter of a
full year's work.
(This statement is designed to afford a standard of measurement for the work done in a secondary school. It takes
the four- year high school course as a basis and assumes that
the length of the school year is from thirty-six to forty weeks
that a period is from forty to sixty minutes in length, and that
but,
the study is pursued for four or five periods a week
under ordinary circumstances, a satisfactory year's work in
any subject can not 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
knowledge of Arithmetic, Reading, Orthography, Penmanship, United States History, Geography, Grammar, Physiology, Civics, and the Elements of Algebra to Quadratics. Test

effective public speaking, and each member of the class should
not have less than two formal appearances before an audience of
more than just the members of the class.

part of the course, is that of illustrating the various types of
composition and the rhetorical excellence in them.)

The Professional Department.
The aim of the school in this department is to make wellrounded men and women, such as are needed to guide the development of children. All the departments of the school cooperate to this end by insisting on thorough scholarship.
Thruout, emphasis is placed on the development of power to
do and on ideals to be followed.
The Third Year Class makes a careful study of school
sanitation, including plans of buildings, grounds, etc., and
the general conditions for the successful organization and
management of a school.
The Second Year Class takes an elementary survey

of the
principles of General Method, considering the aims of Education, the problems of Interest, Apperception, Correlation, etc.
with special method work in Reading, Penmanship and other
elementary subjects not otherwise provided for in the regular

The Department

of Science.

The growth of the school and the increased demand for
instruction in science which came with the adoption of the
advanced courses of study, made it necessary to provide larger
laboratories, and to furnish them with the best apparatus.

described elsewhere, in which excellent chemical, physical
and biological laboratories have been fitted up. They are

No old-time book work in science is done, but laboratory and

use is made of the electric projector with microscope attachments to illustrate the work.
The school is fortunate in its equipment and teaching

the instruction are still more fortunate.
Prospective medical students find the work in these laboratories very helpful.

assume that the more elementary phases of the work have
been sufficiently well learned in the public schools and as the
time allotted to the subject is only twelve weeks, no effort is
made to cover the subject as ordinarily provided in the textbooks of this grade. Instead, such subjects (1) as can not
well be handled in the public schools of lower grade, (both
for lack of facilities and time and because of the immaturity
of the pupils); and (2) as have also an important bearing on
the subjects that lie ahead of our student-teachers, are more
thoroughly studied. The objects especially held in view are

History comprises a thorough study of the aboriginal period,
the period of discovery and exploration, the colonial period,
and the national period, together with the course in Civil

Sufficient attention is given to wordanalysis to arouse the student's interest, and thus lead him to
observe the more common facts of etymology.

Demand

for Teachers.

Concerning the demand for instructors in the commercial
branches, one of the largest educational publishing houses in
the country wrote as follows
"Dear Sir: Replying to your esteemed favor of November nth in regard to the demand for normal school graduates who are competent to teach the commercial branches,

Special Classes {or Graduate Students.

There will be special classes during the spring term for
graduate students of the Normal School who wish to return
and prepare for teaching the commercial branches. If desirable, these classes will be carried on into the early summer, so
as to give teachers the opportunity of taking up the work
after their schools are closed.

by those who have taken it, and in consequence have gained
standing in their medical work far in advance of those who
have mistakenly entered upon medical courses with no better
educational foundation than that provided by public schools.
The General Biology work of the Senior year of this

Histology, Embryology, and Bacteriology. Students completing this course are prepared to take up, with understanding
and profit, any of the courses offered by the best medical colleges.

To meet the advanced requirements of the medical schools

The Town

of

Bloomsburg.

Bloomsburg is an attractive town, in one of the most
beautiful regions of Pennsylvania, has a population of about
eight thousand, and is easily accessible by the three largest
railroads in the state

towns

in the state.

school property attracts much attention, being situated on an elevation of over 150 feet above the Susquehanna.
The view from this elevation is almost unrivalled. The river,
like a ribbon, edges the plain on the south, and disappears
through a bold gorge three miles to the southwest. Rising
immediately beyond the river is a precipitous ridge four hundred feet high, backed by the majestic Catawissa mountain.
The town lies at the foot of the spectator. Hill and plain,
land and water, field and forest, town and country, manufacture, commerce, and agriculture, are combined in the varied
scene.
Nineteen acres of campus afford ample space for lawns
and athletic grounds, and include a large and beautiful oak
grove, while seven large buildings are admirably adapted to
their different uses.

their accompaniments follows.

The talent costs frequently five or six hundred dollars
Every student of the school above the Model School is

Control of Athletics.

An Advisory Board, appointed by the Principal, consisting of four members of the Faculty for a general supervision

Discipline.

All students are expected to observe such regulations as
be needed from time to time, in order to secure to themselves and other students all the benefits of the institution.
Such regulations are purposely kept as few in number as possible, in order to develop a feeling of responsibility and independence of character on the part of every student. Gentlemanly and lad37 like behavior are matters of necessity, and no
student is allowed to remain in the school who does not show
by his devotion to work, his behavior, and his personal habits,
that he is in earnest in his efforts to get an education.
Students who, without permission, absent themselves
from the building at times when all students are required to
be in their rooms, are dismissed also.
The system of discipline used is not preventive, but rational, and has for its object character building.

The Faculty.

A Preceptress has been secured whose especial care is the
development of careful habits, favorable to health, as well as
those of neatness, industry, refined manners, and of high
moral and religious character.
The trustees of the school realize that it is the teacher
that makes the school, and they have spared neither
pains nor money to secure teachers of successful experience,
broad culture, and established Christian character. As a result, the graduates of the school are young men and women
who command good positions and good salaries and who stand
high in the estimation of the public. They may be found in
all parts of the United States, and some in foreign countries
occupying prominent positions of usefulness and influence.
The culture and training of the following institutions are

Home.

Parents are requested not to call pupils home

such cases written permission from parents or guardians

Every recitation missed places the pupil at a disadvantage
and seriously affects his standing.
Giving permission to visit friends is equally distracting.
When a visit home or elsewhere is contemplated it distracts the mind on the day of departure, and it takes the first
day after returning to get the mind back to work.
This causes practically, the loss of two days in addition
to the time lost while absent, and makes the pupil lose much
of the benefit for which he has paid.
All work missed as the
result of absence is required to be made up, but this does not
entirely restore the standing of the student.

State Aid.

The following is a copy of the clause in the general appropriation bill relating to free tuition in State Normal
Schools
of

:

"For the support of the public schools and Normal Schools

said student to teach in the common schools of this state two
full annual terms, there shall be paid the sum of one dollar
and fifty cents a week in full payment of the expenses for tuition of said student, provided that each student in a State

Normal School drawing an allowance from the State must receive regular instruction in the science and art of teaching in
a special class devoted to that object for the whole time for
which such an allowance is drawn, which amount shall be
paid upon the warrant of the Superintendent of Public Instruction."
This action of the State Legislature has the effect of
making tuition free to all persons in the regular course
over seventeen years of age who will sign an agreement to
teach in the common schools of the state for two school years.

Ex penses.
Those who are seeking an education should exercise the
same judgment and foresight in selecting a school that they
use in other business matters.
It is possible to find cheaper schools than this.
There
are schools of all degrees of cheapness, just as there are articles of merchandise varying in quality.
This school gives to the student, in benefits, every dollar
of its income both from what students pay and from state appropriations.
Added to this is the use of buildings and apparatus accumulated that are now worth probably half a mil-

lion dollars.

The tabulated statement on page 51 gives full information
in regard to charges.
One-half board and tuition plus registration fee is payable at the beginning of each term, the remainder at the middle of each term.

TEXT BOOKS.
Students can rent some of the text books in use, at the rate of one
cent a week for each book which costs less than seventy-five cents, and
two cents a week for those costing more than this sum. Should a rented book prove, on being returned, to have been damaged beyond what
reasonable use would necessitate, its full price will be demanded.
The following list comprises most of the text books now used here:
