From. the +Geusu» of Liberto,"
,
U'niontoum, Pa., ,July 5, 1877.
"We had the pleasure of attending
the examination
of the gradu-
ating class of the S. W. State NormalSchool June 26th and 27th. The
. graduates numbered nine. Everything in connection with the examination indicated
I
most thorough' work and drift on the part
of
the
teachers, and a most studious and diligent application on the part of
the scholars. The general public has riot the proper idea of the real
merits of the Normal School of this District.
Tile location is healthful,
the surroundings are attractive; the teaching and discipline are of the.
the very best, and the expenses are very low. \Ve say most emphatically,
that this is the school for teachers of Southwestern Pennsylvania."

Plan of the School.
The School is two-fold, comprising the Normal School proper
and the ModeljSchool, 'both thoroughly_~graded, and together
complementary to each other, and complete as a whole-furnishing
an extensive course, and every advantage for instruction found in
first-class schools of corresponding grades.
The Principal has the general superintendence of each department of both Schools, and each Instructor a special supervision of
his own department.
Prominent Features.
PROFESSIONALINSTRUCTIONis the crowning work of the orrnal
School. All other culture to the candidate for the sacred office of
teacher must, in our ideal, minister to the royal graces and gifts
that are peculiar to the true teacher.
Natural aptness to teach,
scholarship in its best and broadest sense, Christian character-all
enter into and are essential to the model teacher, and yet power to use these gifts and
attainments skilfully and successfully, as a true teacher, is a separate and higher attainment.
"To teach is the noblest function on
earth," and to teach aright embraces and requires the mastery of
one of the profound est and sublimest of sciences and one of the
most elevated and refined of arts. As to give is nobler than to get,
so is teaching higher than acquiring knowledge. Not everyone that
can acquire successfully can impart knowledge with like success. No
professional instruction and training can make equally good teachers
of equal scholars.
The true teacher is "born," and so called of
God to teach, and yet he must be "made" intelligent in the science
and skillful in the art, in order to utilize his gifts and wisely use his
powers.
We believe it to be the peculiar work of the Normal School,
after it has done what other first-class schools do for general ed u-
•
SOUTHWESTER STATE NORMALSCHOOL,
cation, to inspire its students with professional enthusiasm, and instruct and train them in the science and art of teaching. Thus in
accomplishing its own specific object, the Normal School must
necessarily compass all the ends of other schools as subordinate
ends to it.
Educational reform will come only through reformed teaching
and teachers.
The teacher is the central agent of all education;
a new and nobler order of teachers alone can give better schools.
So in this faith we aim more specifically to inspire every candidate
for teaching that enters this Institution, with a love of and consecration to teaching.
We intend that the one grand, all-comprehending, and unifying idea, ILOW best to teach , shall be paramount
in all study, recitation and criticism, and in every branch of study;
that every normal student shall have daily professional instruction
from the first of his course, large facilities for observation and
practice in testing theory and acquiring skill, and great freedom
of individual opinion and action.
We do not expect or desire to
graduate a stereotype uniformity of teachers, but to make, or help
to make, the most and best of each individual candidate.
ECONO~IYOF TD1E.-No time is lost at the opening of a Term.
Students begin work on the first day of each term in all branches
of st~ldy, get five full days of regular recitations every week, and
45 mmutes for each recitation.
"ECONOMY
OF EXPENSE.-The
aggregate expenses of a Student
at this school are much less than at other schools of the same kind
and rank. We invite special attention to this particular, believing
firmly that the expenses of students at this school are from one to
two dollars per week less than at other similar institutions.
.1,ITF.RARYSOCIETlEs.-Not the least among the attractions of
this school arc the Philomathea.n and Clionian Societies which
have grown strong and are well established organizations, serving
In themselves as a real force of culture.
They are full of life and
high aspirations.
•
S~HOLARSHlI'STANDING.-Written Reviews in each class, weekly
or Ill-weekly, furnish the basis of standing.
Each Student has the

the close of each term, and a record of the same is kept at the
office of the Principal.
HEALTH.-Students
have special need of regular, methodical
ph ysical exercise. The precept, "a sound mind in a sound bod y,"
has been too generally ignored.
We propose that every Student
not specially excused, will practice calisthenics or gymnastics daily.
Instruction, personal advice and careful superintendence will be
given, in the belief that good health is a prime requisite to mental
and moral education.
test and standard of Scholarship, estimated on written weekly reviews, and final examinations;
large opportunities for securing
general information; self-control by granting the largest personal
liberty to the student, and imposing a corresponding responsibility
for right deportment.
20
SOCIAL PRIVILEGEs.-In recitation rooms, chapel, and parlor,
in presence of instructors, Students have all reasonable opportunities for social culture.
Believing that ladies and gentlemen are
mutually benefited in the wisely regulated freedom of each other's
society, we treat this as a department of Education, and consider
education incomplete without social culture.
MORALAND RELIGIOUSCULTURE.-A State Normal School is
in no sense or particular sectarian; still, it should be in every and
the best sense Christian in all its influences and aims. The Bible
is the best text-book in morals. It is read daily, taught in Sundayschool classes, and expounded in religious meetings on Wednesday
and Sunday evenings of each week. Pastors and Christian workers
of all denominations are cordially welcomed to fellowship in all
religious exercises.
MANAGEMENT.-The rules of the School are few and simple.
Self-control is the ideal, self-help the habit sought. The intelligent conception of duty and a quickened conscience, will generally
result in a cheerful, voluntary obedience.
That government is best
which seems to govern least.
RECAPITULATlON.-We aim to make the following special points
in this school, viz.: a harmonious adjustment of a graded school
and elective course of study; great prominence to right primary
instruction in both theory and practice; special care for health and
physical training of pupils; vocal culture in daily drill in Elocution and Singing for all pupils; skill in expression ami execution
in every variety of subject and work; large opportunities under
proper restraints for social culture; special prominence to regular
and suitable Religious Exercises; a just, thorough and uni versal

The Institute Term.
THE OBJECTof this term is two-fold. It is a part of the regular
school year, and will meet the demands of all Students in regular
course attending consecutive terms; and, at the same time, afford
superior advantages to all who are teaching during the rest of the
year and can attend school at no other time.
THE FACULTYwill continue their work in the regular course, the
l\Iodel School will be in operation for observation and practice,
and a comprehensive and condensed course in the Common School
branches, with the methods of teaching each, will be given in the
Institute course. An extra corps of eminent Instructors and Lecturers has been engaged for the Institute work.
THE PROGRAMMES
will be so arranged that any Student can get
the benefit of both courses without conflict of time, or extra expense for instruction.
A satisfactory equivalent for time and expense is pledged to every patron.
SPECIALPROMINENCEwill be given to the subjects most needed
by the large number expected to enter for this short term only.
Methods of teaching and a review of subject matter, in such a
m~nner as to aid the actual teacher most effectually in his work,
WIll be the governing end of the Institute course.

Plan of the School.
The School is two-fold, comprising the Normal School proper
and the ModeljSchool, 'both thoroughly_~graded, and together
complementary to each other, and complete as a whole-furnishing
an extensive course, and every advantage for instruction found in
first-class schools of corresponding grades.
The Principal has the general superintendence of each department of both Schools, and each Instructor a special supervision of
his own department.
Prominent Features.
PROFESSIONALINSTRUCTIONis the crowning work of the orrnal
School. All other culture to the candidate for the sacred office of
teacher must, in our ideal, minister to the royal graces and gifts
that are peculiar to the true teacher.
Natural aptness to teach,
scholarship in its best and broadest sense, Christian character-all
enter into and are essential to the model teacher, and yet power to use these gifts and
attainments skilfully and successfully, as a true teacher, is a separate and higher attainment.
"To teach is the noblest function on
earth," and to teach aright embraces and requires the mastery of
one of the profound est and sublimest of sciences and one of the
most elevated and refined of arts. As to give is nobler than to get,
so is teaching higher than acquiring knowledge. Not everyone that
can acquire successfully can impart knowledge with like success. No
professional instruction and training can make equally good teachers
of equal scholars.
The true teacher is "born," and so called of
God to teach, and yet he must be "made" intelligent in the science
and skillful in the art, in order to utilize his gifts and wisely use his
powers.
We believe it to be the peculiar work of the Normal School,
after it has done what other first-class schools do for general ed u-
•
SOUTHWESTER STATE NORMALSCHOOL,
cation, to inspire its students with professional enthusiasm, and instruct and train them in the science and art of teaching. Thus in
accomplishing its own specific object, the Normal School must
necessarily compass all the ends of other schools as subordinate
ends to it.
Educational reform will come only through reformed teaching
and teachers.
The teacher is the central agent of all education;
a new and nobler order of teachers alone can give better schools.
So in this faith we aim more specifically to inspire every candidate
for teaching that enters this Institution, with a love of and consecration to teaching.
We intend that the one grand, all-comprehending, and unifying idea, ILOW best to teach , shall be paramount
in all study, recitation and criticism, and in every branch of study;
that every normal student shall have daily professional instruction
from the first of his course, large facilities for observation and
practice in testing theory and acquiring skill, and great freedom
of individual opinion and action.
We do not expect or desire to
graduate a stereotype uniformity of teachers, but to make, or help
to make, the most and best of each individual candidate.
ECONO~IYOF TD1E.-No time is lost at the opening of a Term.
Students begin work on the first day of each term in all branches
of st~ldy, get five full days of regular recitations every week, and
45 mmutes for each recitation.
"ECONOMY
OF EXPENSE.-The
aggregate expenses of a Student
at this school are much less than at other schools of the same kind
and rank. We invite special attention to this particular, believing
firmly that the expenses of students at this school are from one to
two dollars per week less than at other similar institutions.
.1,ITF.RARYSOCIETlEs.-Not the least among the attractions of
this school arc the Philomathea.n and Clionian Societies which
have grown strong and are well established organizations, serving
In themselves as a real force of culture.
They are full of life and
high aspirations.
•
S~HOLARSHlI'STANDING.-Written Reviews in each class, weekly
or Ill-weekly, furnish the basis of standing.
Each Student has the

the close of each term, and a record of the same is kept at the
office of the Principal.
HEALTH.-Students
have special need of regular, methodical
ph ysical exercise. The precept, "a sound mind in a sound bod y,"
has been too generally ignored.
We propose that every Student
not specially excused, will practice calisthenics or gymnastics daily.
Instruction, personal advice and careful superintendence will be
given, in the belief that good health is a prime requisite to mental
and moral education.
test and standard of Scholarship, estimated on written weekly reviews, and final examinations;
large opportunities for securing
general information; self-control by granting the largest personal
liberty to the student, and imposing a corresponding responsibility
for right deportment.
20
SOCIAL PRIVILEGEs.-In recitation rooms, chapel, and parlor,
in presence of instructors, Students have all reasonable opportunities for social culture.
Believing that ladies and gentlemen are
mutually benefited in the wisely regulated freedom of each other's
society, we treat this as a department of Education, and consider
education incomplete without social culture.
MORALAND RELIGIOUSCULTURE.-A State Normal School is
in no sense or particular sectarian; still, it should be in every and
the best sense Christian in all its influences and aims. The Bible
is the best text-book in morals. It is read daily, taught in Sundayschool classes, and expounded in religious meetings on Wednesday
and Sunday evenings of each week. Pastors and Christian workers
of all denominations are cordially welcomed to fellowship in all
religious exercises.
MANAGEMENT.-The rules of the School are few and simple.
Self-control is the ideal, self-help the habit sought. The intelligent conception of duty and a quickened conscience, will generally
result in a cheerful, voluntary obedience.
That government is best
which seems to govern least.
RECAPITULATlON.-We aim to make the following special points
in this school, viz.: a harmonious adjustment of a graded school
and elective course of study; great prominence to right primary
instruction in both theory and practice; special care for health and
physical training of pupils; vocal culture in daily drill in Elocution and Singing for all pupils; skill in expression ami execution
in every variety of subject and work; large opportunities under
proper restraints for social culture; special prominence to regular
and suitable Religious Exercises; a just, thorough and uni versal

The Institute Term.
THE OBJECTof this term is two-fold. It is a part of the regular
school year, and will meet the demands of all Students in regular
course attending consecutive terms; and, at the same time, afford
superior advantages to all who are teaching during the rest of the
year and can attend school at no other time.
THE FACULTYwill continue their work in the regular course, the
l\Iodel School will be in operation for observation and practice,
and a comprehensive and condensed course in the Common School
branches, with the methods of teaching each, will be given in the
Institute course. An extra corps of eminent Instructors and Lecturers has been engaged for the Institute work.
THE PROGRAMMES
will be so arranged that any Student can get
the benefit of both courses without conflict of time, or extra expense for instruction.
A satisfactory equivalent for time and expense is pledged to every patron.
SPECIALPROMINENCEwill be given to the subjects most needed
by the large number expected to enter for this short term only.
Methods of teaching and a review of subject matter, in such a
m~nner as to aid the actual teacher most effectually in his work,
WIll be the governing end of the Institute course.

must pay their bills, or make some other satisfactory arrangement
in regard thereto, in one week from the time it is due.
2. All Students on entering
the Institution, may be required to
undergo an examination, in order that the Faculty may determine
what standing each may be fitted to take.
3· Study hours will be published at the commencement of each
