In addition to a general knowledge of the child study movement,
and of the essential facts of physical and mental growth,
the Seniors are taught to test children for defects of sight
and hearing, and to make such observation as will enable
them to come into more helpful relations with their pupils.

The general methods are shown to follow from the psychology and child-study. Sufficient emphasis is placed upon special devices to enable the teacher to be at home in
her own school. Thruout, the students are led to see
the principles on which the methods are based, that they
may become more independent and self reliant, and hence
more ready to adapt their work in an intelligent manner to
the conditions they will meet.

MATHEMATICS
If there is one subject rather than another in the curriculum which should be characterized by a high degree of
accuracy, that subject is mathematics.
Inaccuracy in elementary mathematics, easily detected by any employer, at once stamps the boy or girl as a
poorly trained, undesirable employee. The average pupil engrossed with the study of many things can write essays
upon a great variety of topics, expressing vague ideas in
any designated field, yet fails when clear cut notions of definite things are required.

The aim of this department is to shoulder cheerfully
share of the burden and impress the embryo teacher
with the necessity for logical thinking and accurate statement of thought.

ALGEBRA
Algebra is taught in the first year of the course. The
work, as planned, presupposes a year of elementary preparation.

Algebra is eminently suited to provide training in clear
thinking by the practice it affords in arrangement of ideas,
especially in connection with the solution of problems by
equations.

Drill in the fundamentals, and their application to the usual topics of a complete course in Arithmetic marks the effort of the first year's course. Practical
measurements, with drawing, business application of percentage, the metric system and practical problems of all
kinds suitable to modern life, are treated in a way to make
as real as possible the pupil's knowledge of numbers and its
connection with the world about him.

Fourth Year. In the senior year a general review of
the subject of Arithmetic is given, with especial emphasis
upon methods of presentation in various grades. The view
point of the mechanic, the tradesman, the banker or the
stock broker, is sought as the subject is applied to the
various phases of business life.

Each student is required to keep a note book in which
recorded the summary of class discussions, with especial
reference to methods and devices used in the lower grades.
A series of problems compiled with especial reference to
correlating Arithmetic with the work of other departments

Physiology. A state law requires the study of
"physiology and hygiene with special reference to the effect
of alcoholic drinks, stimulants and narcotics on the human
system" in all schools supported by state appropriation of
money. We therefore assume that the more elementary
phases of the work have been sufficiently well learned in
the public schools to warrant our going on with the work
adapted to Juniors in a State Normal School, 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 cannot
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 in the
Regular Normal Course, are more thoroly studied. The
;

objects especially held in view are: (1) the knowledge of
the matter, (2) training in laboratory, lecture, and textbook methods of getting the matter.

On this basis the material selected for work in our
Junior course consists of the following

advanced work in drawing, crayoning, painting, water color,
and designing.

HOUSEHOLD ARTS

Purpose. The course in household arts is not for
the preparation of special teachers of the subject, but it is
adapted to the needs of every teacher. It has as its central
idea the home.
Its aim is the development of skill and efficiency thru application of the knowledge of principles.

MANUAL TRAINING
The instruction in this subject is given for the purpose
of a general education, the all-round training of the individual, and not for the specific purpose of preparing for a
profitable employment in the various activities of life to
which this subject relates.
The work in this department is correlated with other
departments, such as drawing, mathematics, and science
and as far as possible, shop conditions and shop processes
are followed in the construction of useful projects, chiefly
wood.

The woodwork

In fact,
the body needs to be educated in order to properly educate

This department is in charge of special instructors who
have for their aim the full and harmonious development of

parts of the physical organism.

Health, grace, beauty, and ease of movement are secured by systematic training in a large and well equipped gymnasium.

developing the parts of the body that need especial care.

The College Preparatory Department of the Bloomsburg State Normal School is by no means a new departure.
It dates from the original establishment of the school in

has always been the policy of this school to urge upstudents and graduates the importance and advantage
of a higher education than a Normal School is fitted to provide, and it is a source of pride and gratification to those in

universities of the country by large numbers of its former
students and graduates.

well equipped with pictures, casts, maps, etc., to assist its
work. An electric lantern with a good supply of lantern
slides also belong to this department.

COURSES
The courses may be changed to suit individual needs in preparation for special work. Diplomas are granted for such special courses,
provided sufficient points are covered to equal those of the specified
courses. A full term's work in a subject with daily recitations is
counted one point. For graduation in any College Preparatory Course
forty-eight points are required, in addition to the work of the Preparatory Year.

GENERAL INFORMATION
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
The Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western, the Philadelphia & Reading, and the Pennsylvania.
It is also connected with neighboring towns by
:

electric railroads.

The town has the district system of steam heating, a
public sewer system, pure water from a mountain stream,
illuminating gas and electric lights, and paved streets.
It is
known as one of the thriftiest and healthiest towns in the
state.

The

school is situated 150 feet above the Susquehanna.
Nineteen acres of campus afford ample space for lawns
and athletic grounds, and include a large and beautiful
oak grove. Seven large buildings are admirably adapted
to their different uses.

Institute Hall

This building, erected in 1867, stands at the head of
Main Street, and is plainly visible from all parts of the town.
On the first floor are five spacious class rooms. The approach to the building is very imposing and beautiful, and
has been made much more so by the erection of a handsome
bronze fountain, the gift of the class of '04.

Its dimensions are 104 feet

Extending across the end of this wing and forward to the front of the building is a long piazza, about 140

This fronts the river, and from it may be
obtained one of the grandest views in eastern Pennsylvania.

The reading tables are well supplied with all
the important local and national newspapers and magazines
for the free use of the students.
The value of the library
is greatly enhanced by a card catalogue of the most approved kind, and the constant attendance of a trained librarian
to assist students in their research.
Students are given

North Hall

Two floors of the building formerly used as a musical
conservatory and chemical laboratory have been appropriated to students. They are fitted with all modern conveniences.
The unobstructed views from most of the rooms are
both wide and beautiful.
Infirmary

While the health of the students has been exceptionally
good, an infirmary has been equipped with modern facilities
for the care of the sick, and is in charge of a trained nurse.
Students unable to attend recitations or go to meals are required to report there, that they may receive proper attention.

Hospital

The Class of 1915 has enabled the school to provide, as
their memorial, upon the campus, yet remote from all other
buildings, a hospital for patients having contagious diseases.
The building is fitted with all modern conveniences such as
steam heat, running water and sewer connection, and is hygienically furnished in accordance with modern hospital
standards.

The

Societies

There are two literary societies, devoted to the intellectual improvement of their members.
Weekly meetings
are held, the exercises of which include essays, readings, declamations and debates. Among the benefits to be derived
from membership, by no means the least is the training received in the conducting of business meetings, and the
knowledge required of Parliamentary rules. Debates form
a distinctive feature of these societies.

In recognition of the need of a regular means of communication between the school and its alumni, a school
periodical, the B. S. N. S. Quarterly is issued.
The paper
is a magazine of from 12 to 20 pages, and appears in January, April and October of each year.
Its editorial staff includes members of the Faculty and students. The Alumni,

All students are expected to observe such regulations as

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.

Religion and Morals

The school proceeds upon the principle that careful religious training is essential to the proper development of
character.
The religious teaching is evangelical but not
sectarian.
Chapel exercises are held daily. All students are required to attend church on Sunday morning. A service of
Song or Bible Reading is conducted each Sunday evening.
The students sustain a Young Men's Christian Association,
and also a Young Woman's Christian Association, which
hold separate prayer meetings each Tuesday evening.

careful habits, favorable to health, as well as to those of

religious character.

The trustees of the school realize that it is the teacher
that makes the school, and they have taken great care to
secure teachers of successful experience, broad culture, and
established Christian character. As a result, the graduates

Visiting and Going

Hartline.

Home

Parents are requested not to call pupils home during
term time, except in case of absolute necessity. In such
cases written permission from parents or guardians is required.

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 the 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
All work missed as
of the benefit for which he has paid.
the result of absence is required to be made up, but this does
not entirely restore the standing of the student.
Boxes from

Home

Parents and friends are requested not to send boxes of
cooked edibles to students. Many cases of ill health may
be traced to eating stale and indigestible food. Besides the
ill effects of keeping food in a living room, boxes encourage
eating at irregular times and produce other irregularities
that interfere with good health and intellectual advancement. The school furnishes good, wholesome food, well
cooked and in plenty, and arranges to have as great variety
as the markets afford so there is no occasion for sending
food to students.
;

When

to

Enter

Students may enter at any time. There are classes of
degrees of advancement, and students in nearly all subjects can be accommodated, even in the middle of a term.
all

Students who need only one term's work to finish any
particular course will find it to their advantage to attend
during the fall term, as during that term they will receive
instruction in the essentials of the various branches.

Applications for Teachers

The

Principal frequently has applications for teachers
both within and outside the state. Graduates
who want schools are at liberty to put their names on his
list, but they should inform him as soon as they secure a
position and those who need teachers are urged to apply
early that they may get the best.
for positions

;

Outfits

Each student is expected to furnish for personal use the
following articles Towels, table napkins, a bed comforter, a
pair of blankets, slippers, overshoes, an umbrella, a pair of
gymnasium slippers, a gymnasium costume, and a pair of
strong high shoes suitable for climbing and walking. Each
student should provide himself with a knife, fork and spoon,
as silver will not be sent out of the dining room. The gymnasium slippers and costume may be ordered after students
enter and learn what is needed. The use of this costume is
obligatory; health and decency require it.
:

Damages
All damages done to rooms, halls, furniture, or school
property, will be charged to the students who do it. No
nails, pins or tacks of any kind are to be driven into the
walls or doors. Pictures or other decorations pasted, tacked or pinned to the wall subject the occupants of the room
to the expense of papering the entire room.

Laundry Regulations
Each student is allowed 12 articles of plain clothing
or their equivalent in the weekly washing.

A

charge of 15 cents per piece is made for hauling baggage. Baggage is hauled by the school only on the opening and closing days of each term.
The scale of charges is made on the basis of two students to each room therefore students cannot be accorded
the privilege of rooming alone without extra charges.
Bills for one term must be settled before students will
be permitted to enter upon the next term, unless by special
;

arrangement.

Diplomas

will not be issued to those

whose accounts

are unsettled.

Rooms engaged beforehand will not be reserved longer
than Tuesday of the first week of the term except by special
arrangement.
Students not living at their own homes are required to
board in the school dormitories, except by special arrangement, made in accordance with conditions established by
the Board of Trustees. The Principal will make known
these conditions on request.
When a student's room in the dormitory is held for
him during his absence, and cannot be temporarily filled,
a charge of $1.00 per week is made.

mer Term by

Summer Term.
Many of the

subjects of the regular Normal Course will
be offered. All credits earned in the Summer Term will
apply toward the completion of the regular Normal Course.
The credit will be given upon the basis of work done
rather than by the number of weeks. That is, if intensive
work is done in any line more credit may be earned than
would be possible in six weeks of regular school work. We
believe this plan is fair to both the pupil and the institution.

STATE AID IN THE SUMMER SCHOOL
Tuition will be paid by the Commonwealth for all students pursuing the regular Normal School Course. This
includes those taking the branches of the first year of the
course, who will receive credit toward graduation for such
work it includes also those working off branches to enable them to enter higher classes of the Normal Course.
;

Those are not entitled to such aid who are taking work
order to get the State Permanent Certificate, those graduates who are preparing to get additional subjects endorsed
upon their diplomas, those preparing for college or working
off college conditions, and those specializing in Music,
Drawing, Domestic Science or Commercial Work.
