PRESIDENT TAFT’S' ADDRESS
To the Students of the Edinboro Normal School, October 26, 1912.
“Young Ladies and Gentlemen, I am verj^ glad, very proud
to be here this afternoon. I not only agree with everything that
Auditor General Sisson has said, but I will go further than he
did. Too much cannot be said of the importance of education,
moral and secular, in the cause of good citizenship.
“Now that I am here, and I am glad I am, I want to say
something that will encourage you who are about to enter the
teachers’ profession. It is one of the greatest professions in the
world. It is in your power to do great good because you take
the embryo citizen in the formative period when he can be made
somebody or let go to be a know-nothing and a do-nothing. You
who teach are the architects of the mind and the character and
you can set the pupil on the way to higher ideals in life.
“But, when you become a teacher, you must be content to
live in pretty moderate circumstances. You must be content to
get along without luxuries. You must be content to live a life
of usefulness, knowing that your greatest reward will come from
the knowledge that you have done your duty, that you have
added your mite to the betterment of the human race and that
you have made those you taught better men and better women.
The consciousness of having done your duty and of seeing where
your efforts have helped somebody else makes your life well
worth living and it is better than anything money can buy.
“I am 55 years old and I have lived long enough to find out
many things that you will learn as you grow older. The greatest
asset you have is character and with character you will be able to
play your part in a worthy manner. So, standing shoulder to
shoulder in the cause of education, you can do wonders to help
in the cause and you can say when you are done: ‘T have done
my little and for that I deserve credit.’
■t^i . “’teachers begin life in a spirit of self sacrifice. In the
Philippines we had a great problem. We had a million children
to teach. They spoke sixteen different dialects, none of which
was fit for the use of civilized people. Only seven per cent
spoke Spanish. We decided to teach them English. We had a
thousand teachers, most of them young women, all from the
United States. Now we have a teaching body of about 800
Americans and some 8,000 natives and the English' language is
becoming the language of the Orient. Those teachers have
already earned the right to say that they have lived a life that
has been useful and that they have contributed to a result that
IS an everlasting credit to the nation.
“Young Ladies and Gentlemen, I honor and you should honor
the profession yon are about to enter. I congratulate you and I
thank you. ’

_______________ _

LOCATION
dinboro is a prosperous country village in the heart
of the rich agricultural district of Northwestern
E
Pennsylvania. As such it is an ideal home for the
teachers’ training school that proposes to equip men and
women for the school work of that section of the State.
The village is twenty miles from Erie and seven miles
from Cambridge Springs. It is connected with these
towns by an interurban car line with hourly service. It
is but a step, then, from the great railway systems of the
Middle West and at the same time enjoys a pleasant
remoteness, a slight seclusion, that is thoroughly con­
sistent with good student work.
THE VILLAGE
he village is progressive. Its influences are for good.
It has an old and well established citizenship. It
was founded in 1796 by sturdy New England stock
whose mark is readily traced in the community to-day.
The village bears the inevitable stamp of the school
town; it has been known as a place of learning for
many years.

T

THE LAKE
ake Edinboro lies just north of the village. Exactly
what part it has played in the last fifty years in the
spirit and tradition of the school would be hard to esti­
mate. It is a charming sheet of fresh water, the second
largest in the State, and calls visitors from many miles
around. It affords a restful field for recreation with its
boating, bathing, and fishing.

THE SCHOOL
he early establishment of an academy in 1857 was a
manifestation of the pioneer spirit that characterized
T
all early American life. Somebody has said that our
pioneers always built a church at one end of their town
and a school at the other. In such spirit was the
academy founded in 1857. It became the Edinboro
State Normal School in 1861. For fifty-two years it has
held a high place in the educational life of its particular
district; while its sons and daughters have held posi­
tions of trust from one end of the land to the other.
PURPOSE
he primary purpose of the school is the training of
teachers. In a more particular sense it plans to
equip teachers for the Twelfth Normal School District,
which embraces the counties of Lawrence, Mercer,
Venango, Crawford, and Erie. There is in the right sort
of normal school not only the specific and technical train­
ing, but also a training along broad and cultural lines
that must be the basis of all effective teaching and the
basis of life as well. If the schools are to meet the needs
of the people and be in close sympathy with common
life, the teachers must be people trained not only in
mathematics but in manhood, not only in literature but
in life. The fact that the mass of the older alumni of
the school are engaged in all the varied fields of life is
but proof of the efficiency of the normal school.
Broadly speaking, therefore, there are two aims in
the purpose of the Edinboro State Normal School: to
send its graduate out with a confidence born of a
thorough knowledge of method and of matter; and in
the second place, to imbue him with the spirit of the

T

Pag! ttn

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

true teacher—the teacher who can thrill his pupils with
glimpses of new horizons and broader visions.
THE FACULTY
or the accomplishment of this chief aim of the school,
the Board of Trustees maintains a faculty consisting
F
of experienced teachers that are not only leaders in their
various departments, but are also able demonstrators of
method. They are men of wide training in American
colleges and universities, and above all are men whose
hearts are in their work. While there is a special depart­
ment devoted to the technical phases of method, each
class is a practical laboratory of demonstration.
THE STUDENTS
fter a visitor has seen the recitation rooms, the
library, and the dormitories, after he has inter­
viewed the faculty and the trustees, he will not be said
to know the school unless he sees the students them­
selves. In inviting the young men and the young women
of the Twelfth Normal School District to join the
students at Edinboro, the authorities feel that in the
earnest company of students is the chief lure. When
all is said, it is on the students that the real worth of
the school must rest; and in the Edinboro State Normal
School there is, by the common consent of all who know,
a splendid body of students.

A

“STUDENT INTERESTS”
ttQtudent interests” is a name that has arisen in the
O last generation to describe the phases of student
activities that are not especially directed by the faculty.
Page eleven

I

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

It embraces all forms of athletics, dramatic interests, and
student publications. In all these branches the students
at the Edinboro State Normal School maintain vigorour and healthful activities. The gymnasium and
athletic teams are intended to benefit the entire body of
students, the dramatic and publication fields are open to
those who have particular interest in these departments.
In this group must also be placed the orchestra, the
literary societies, the Young Women’s Christian Associa­
tion, and the Young Men’s Christian Association. All of
these organizations are well supported and add much to
the school life.
DISCIPLINE
he institution is maintained for the students. Only
such regulations are made as tend to serve the wel­
fare of its patrons. Discipline is as nearly voluntary as
possible. Students are expected to conduct themselves as
would be fitting for those entering one of the noblest
vocations of men.
LIVING
t has been said that, he is a wise man who knows how
to rest wisely. In Reeder and Haven Halls the boys
and girls at Edinboro have the advantages of a home
atmosphere, and of association with cultured men and
women. The authorities endeavor to maintain during
study hours the best possible conditions for study; out­
side of study hours, they endeavor just as earnestly to
maintain an atmosphere of happy contentment, in sur­
roundings that are inspiring and uplifting. The “weekly
sing,” just after supper on Thursday night, has become
a feature of Edinboro life.

NORMAL HALL

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

GROUNDS AND BUILDINGS
he campus of the school embraces thirty-one acres of
pleasantly situated land. On it may be found speci­
mens of practically all the native trees—many of which
represent over half a century of growth. Their care is
the particular pride of certain officers of the school; their
beauty constitutes no small part of the agreeable setting
of the buildings. In addition to the carefully graded
and well kept lawns, there are several tennis courts and
a large athletic field. At the rear of the campus is the
productive model farm.
The buildings are nine in number, besides the
thoroughly modern heating plant and electric power
house. In order of their age they are;
COMMERCIAL HALL

Commercial Hall is the original academy building. It
was erected in 1857. It stands at the northwest corner
of the campus. It is a substantial frame building which
houses the two literary society halls and the commercial
department. Care has kept it in perfect condition, a
useful memorial of the days of the foundation.
SCIENCE HALL

Science Hall, a frame building, was constructed in
1858. It accommodates the physical and chemical labo­
ratories, the large examination hall, a large lecture room,
and various rooms for supplies. While the old hall will
undoubtedly make way for a new science hall in the near
future, it will be long before its lines of happy sym­
metry and general air of quaintness will fade from the
minds of those who know it.
Page thirteen

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

SOUTH HALL

South Hall is the last of the old dormitories. Built
in i860, it was the center of school life for many genera­
tions. It has been abandoned as a student dormitory
since the building of the modern halls. It is now used
for storage, and as a home for the caretakers of the other
halls. Old South Hall, with its great chimneys, forms a
picturesque background for the newer group of buildings.
MUSIC HALL

Well separted from the other buildings. Music Hall
affords an admirable home for the department of music.
It was built in 1862, and remodeled in 1878. It con­
tains a pleasant assembly hall, practice rooms, and in­
structors’ studios.
NORMAL HALL

Normal Hall was built in 1875. In 1891 it was greatly
enlarged. It contains the chapel, the library, and the
executive offices of the school. It is the largest building
of the group. The seating capacity of the chapel is over
one thousand.
RECITATION HALL

Recitation Hall is a monument to the originality of
J. A. Cooper, ex-Principal of the normal school, who for
thirty years was the best known man in common school
life of Western Pennsylvania. It has six pleasant recita­
tion rooms. All the rooms on the first floor open out of
doors so that it is impossible for a student to pass from
one class to another without going into the fresh air.
It was built in 1880.
Page fourteen

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

HAVEN HALL

In 1903 a modern dormitory for the young women
was constructed. It is a four-story structure of sub­
stantial quality. Steam heat and electric light render the
hall very comfortable. Its direction and care both aim to
make it a real home for the young women. The dining
hall, for both boys and girls, occupies the first, or base­
ment floor.
THE GYMNASIUM

The Gymnasium, built in 1906, is a thoroughly modern
and practical building, with excellent equipment in the
way of locker rooms, baths, and apparatus. As the center
of athletic interests, it fulfills its purpose in ministering
to the needs of the physical side of school life.
REEDER HALL

Reeder Hall, named in honor of one of the early
builders of the school, is the latest of the group. It was
completed in 1907. It consists of three stories given over
to dormitory purposes for the boys; a large and well
lighted basement makes a practical home for the manual
training department. Here, as in Haven Hall, the aim is
to make pleasant the social life of the students. As great
a measure of liberty is allowed as is consistent with the
rights of all the young men who occupy it.

COURSES OF STUDY FOR THE EDINBORO
STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
Note—This course is based on the “unit” plan as pro­
posed 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 years is from thirtysix to forty weeks, that a period is from forty to sixty
minutes in length, and that the study is pursued for four
or five periods a week; but under ordinary circumstances
a satisfactory year’s work in any subject cannot be ac­
complished in less than one hundred and twenty sixtyminute 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, penman­
ship, United States history, geography, grammar, physi­
ology, civics, and the elements of algebra to quadratics.

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

DEPARTMENT OF PEDAGOGY
(Theory and Practive of Teaching)
Mr. Walk, Miss Sturgeon, Mr. La Bounty, Mr. Siddell, Mr. Baker

The prime purposes of this department are:
I. To give the student a clear insight into the
character of the fundamental problems of
modern educational principle and practice.
Special stress is laid on the value of the various
subjects of the school curriculum gauged m
terms of their ability to satisfy real needs of
life.
II. To provide the conditions whereby the student
may demonstrate by observation and practice
his fitness or unfitness for the actual work of
teaching.
The accomplishment of these purposes is performed
through the following means:
A. By thorough study of those branches that con­
stitute the ground-work for all professional
theory and method worthy of the name, viz..
1. General and Special Methods.
2. Psychology.
3. The History of Education.
B. By practice embracing;
1. Observation of illustrative lessons as taught
by critic teacher.
2. Observation of lessons taught by regular
student teachers.
Page twenty-nine

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

3. Written and oral reports on these observa­
tions.
4. Complete control of a class, under immedi­
ate supervision of the management, for at
least twenty weeks.
THEORY AND METHODS OP TEACHING

I. General and Special Methods.
The work in general methods supplements in­
struction in special methods, and relates to the
fundamental problems of school organization
and management. Courses in special methods
have to do with the proper presentation of sub­
ject matter chiefly in the primary grades, as
reading, penmanship, etc. An important feature
of instruction in general methods is the treat­
ment of educational ideas representative of the
progressive tendencies of the times. Great em­
phasis is laid upon the aims of education, and
upon its results as stated in terms of individual
and social efficiency. At every stage of the
study a definite attempt is made to correlate the
instruction in general methods directly with the
classroom instruction done by senior normal
students in the model school.
Courses in school management proper cover
such topics as school economy, discipline, the
recitation, moral instruction, the school law, etc.
Suggested texts: “Classroom Management,”
Bagley; “How to Study and Teaching How to

Teaching Process,” Strayer; “Teaching a Dis­
trict School,” Dinsmore; Seeley; White.
II: Psychology.
Instruction in psychology is designed to fulfill
three distinct and indispensable aims:
A. To give the student, by means of class dis­
cussion and experimental work, a clear
understanding of the great principles
underlying mental activity in general.
B. To examine these principles with special
reference to their bearing upon the study
of the child mind.
C. To apply these mental laws as directly and
emphatically as possible to the art of
teaching, as interpreted in the light of
modern educational theory.
Suggested texts: “Briefer Course,” James;
Betts; Baldwin; Thorndyke; “Psychology
in the Schoolroom,” Dexter and Garlick.
III. The History of Education.
The chief purpose of this study is to estab­
lish an understanding of present educational
ideals, practices, tendencies, and problems.
This is accomplished
A. By an interpretation of educational tradi­
tions, and an explanation of their relation­
ship to modern needs and conditions.
B. By giving a proper perspective, that enables
a student to adjust means to ends, and to
maintain a happy balance as between ex­
treme in either theory or practice. '
Page thirty-one

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

C. By assisting the student to formulate ideals
or standards of action that will guide his
instruction in the concrete work of the
classroom.
Suggested texts: Seeley; Painter; Kemp; “Brief
Course in the History of Education,”
Monroe.
PRACTICE OF TEACHING

The practice of teaching in all its phases is per­
formed in direct connection with the model school.
The primary aim of the model school is, of course, to
give the pupils in attendance instruction in the regular
subjects of the school curriculum equal in worth to that
which may be obtained anywhere. Its secondary aim,
and one inseparable from the first, is to promote the
teaching efficiency of the normal school graduates.
The model school consists of ten grades. The work
covers the regular primary, grammar, and high school
courses. Instruction in music, drawing, penmanship,
physical training and German is supervised directly by
the several members of the faculty who teach those sub­
jects in the normal school.
As already indicated, the attempt of the management
is to unite the best elements of a model school with the
most approved features of a practice school, and by a
system of careful administration and supervision the in­
terests of both pupils and student teachers are promoted
without detriment to either one or the other of these two
classes. Most emphatically this model-practice school is
not a mere laboratory for experimentation. Rather is it
a place where pupils get thorough instruction under
Page thirty-two

HAVEN HALL

—KuPPer

supervision of specialists, and where teachers test,
through application to the problems of school-room
routine, the value of theory previously received.
A. Observation.
Observation is based on three syllabi, entitled
respectively conditions for work, the class, and
the teacher. From these syllabi certain items are
assigned for each week’s work. Weekly meet­
ings are held, and written reports, summarizing
in concise, systematic form, the record of the
week’s observation, are submitted, read, and
analyzed. The subject matter from which as­
signments are made is printed on only the first
page of the syllabus, the remaining three pages
being left blank for the report above-mentioned.
Each observer is required to retain a permanent
file of his reports for reference use in teaching.
Reports of the observers are analyzed also
at the regular recitations of the normal school
classes in methods. Members of the senior class
who are doing practice teaching thus profit by
critcism or commendation put in direct, specific
form. No pains are spared to relate the results
of observation immediately and vitally to class­
room intruction.
B. Student Teaching.
Each senior student in the normal school is
required to do one hour of teaching or observa­
tion daily throughout the entire year.
Students designated for teaching are assigned
to their respective grades and subjects with as
much care as possible. Regard is had for
Page thirty-three

-

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

academic qualifications and previous experience,
and these, together with personality, are made
the basis for assignments.
One of the features making most strongly
for co-ordination in teaching activities is that of
the lesson plan. At the beginning of each week
every student teacher is required to submit a
program embodying a definite scheme for each
day’s instruction, and covering the following
points: (i) subject-matter to be presented;
(2) specific aim of the lesson as correlated with
and distinct from the general aim; (3) drill;
how much and on what points? (4) method of
presentation: use of illustration, devices, etc.;
(5) review—how much and on what points?
The approval of this lesson is a prerequisite
to the week’s work. Each teacher is thus re­
quired to systematize his instruction, and the drill
he obtains thereby is an invaluable pedagogical
discipline. Besides this, the lesson plan gives
coherency, unity, and singleness of aim to the
entire system of instruction.
All teaching done in the model school is
supervised closely by the superintendent and his
associates. It is felt that no arbitrary device or
method, howsoever much merit it may possess,
can ensure good instruction unless supplemented
by the strictest supervision possible.

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

DEPARTMENT OF LATIN
Mr. Barnes and Mr. Sackett, Miss Swenarton, Miss Roberts

From the beginning accuracy in pronunciation and in
knowledge of inflectional forms is rigidly required. The
work of the entire first year is designed to render the
student sufficiently familiar with accidence and element­
ary constructions to enable him to begin the reading of
connected prose narrative with intelligence and possibly
with pleasure. The passing requirements of this portion
of the course are purposely exacting. No students whose
attainments are not such as to allow them to pursue the
study of the subject with profit will be admitted to the
classes of the second year. The intention of this state­
ment is definitely insisted upon.
The prescribed reading in Caesar, Cicero, and Vergil
is stated elsewhere. The work of classes, however, is
not limited to this. Selected portions of text from the
authors named, and from other Latin writers, are used
in addition, and an attempt is made to develop an intelli­
gent appreciation of the significance of literature and to
aid the student in forming correct conceptions of literary
culture. The efforts of the instructor are constantly
directed to developing the ability to read Latin, i. e., to
recognize the thought in its Latin dress, and to feel the
exact force of construction, idiom and arrangement.
Translation is required more as a test of accuracy in this
than as an end in itself. Versification and formal gram­
mar receive due attention. Informal daily talks by the
instructor upon phases of Roman religion, history,
politics, literature, or everyday life that the text suggests
contribute something, perhaps, to the stimulation of in­
terest in the subject and to the encouragement of inde­
pendent investigation.
Page thirty-Hve

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS
Mr. Siddell and Mr. Sackett, Mr. Standiffe, Mr. Armour

A study of the cause for just complaint on the part
of teachers of advanced mathematics leads one to believe
that the trouble is directly traceable to poor work in ele
mentary mathematics. Accordingly the aim here is to
develop strength of work in both mental and written
arithmetic, in algebra and in geometry. If a strong foun­
dation is laid in these branches, the advanced courses in
mathematics in normal school, college, or technical school
will not present insurmountable difficulties to the student,
nor will county and state examiners of prospective teach­
ers find indications of lamentable weakness in these sub­
jects. To this end, thoroughness in all work is the watch­
word. An attempt to “humanize” the various subjects is
made by choosing suitable illustrative problems for the
topics under discussion.
ARITHMETIC

In arithmetic work is given in the first and last years
of the course. In the first year daily recitations are held
throughout two terms. The aim is to develop accuracy,
facility, and rapidity of work, both oral and written.
Clearness and conciseness of explanation are insisted
upon; also absolute truthfulness in the use of equations.
Rules as such are not learned but are logically evolved;
thus the “why” explains and helps to establish the “how”
in the mind of the student.
The work in written arithmetic, in which considerable
oral work is also done, is supplemented by a separate
course in mental arithmetic, where in addition to skill and
facility in work, power of concentrated attention and con­
tinued retention are the ends sought. Students frequently
Page thirty-six

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

attest the value of this work in increased efficiency in
other lines of work.
The work in arithmetic given in the last year of the
course aims to equip teachers thoroughly for work in the
grades. As a means to this end, a general review of the
subject is given, but the work is broader and deeper than
that of the first year, and includes work on the pedagogy
of the subject, to which a term’s work is given.
ALGEBRA

In algebra the student is led inductively to enlarged
and different number concepts, and to understand and
interpret the underlying principles and to apply them in­
telligently. Algebra and arithmetic are closely correlated.
This course seeks to make easy and gradual the transition
from the inductive type of thought in arithmetic to the
deductive form of reasoning in geometry. The solution
of problems accurately stated is especially emphasized.
Students before entering should have completed a full
year’s work in algebra as far as quadratics, so that the
usual amount required for college entrance can be com­
pleted in one year. For the benefit of those who have
not had this amount of preparatory work classes for be­
ginners are provided.
PLANE GEOMETRY

Plane geometry is studied throughout the second year.
A love of truth for truth’s sake should be one of the
results of a proper study of geometry. With this end in
view accuracy in definition, logical reasoning, clearness of
expression, and authority for statements are insisted
upon. Self-reliance and power of initiative are developed
by original exercises. Believing that the power to attack
and solve original exercises is the true test of one’s geo­
Page thirty-seven

I

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

metric ability, it has been and will be the plan of the
teachers to make extensive use of such exercises, choos­
ing, however, a large number of exercises involving a
few principles each, rather than a much smaller number
of very difficult problems, inasmuch as greater benefits
result to the student from such a course of procedure.
SOLID GEOMETRY

The work in solid geometry covers half the third year
and follows the same lines as indicated in plane geometry.
In teaching the subject a happy medium is sought be­
tween non-use of mathematical solids and excessive use
of the same, thus stimulating but not demoralizing the
student’s power to form geometric concepts. Locus prob­
lems are emphasized in both plane and solid geometry.
TRIGONOMETRY

One-half year is devoted to the study of trigonometry.
The work includes definitions and relations of the six
trigonometric functions as ratios, circular measure of
angles, proofs of the principal formulas, solution of
trigonometric equations, theory and use of logarithms,
and the solution of right and oblique triangles with prac
tical applications.

DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH
Mr. LaBounty and Miss Swenarton, Miss Bauman, Miss Sullivan

The aim of the department of English is to develop
skill in clean and strong English for everyday use. While
courses are given in the classics and in the historical
aspects of the subject, the aim of accuracy in speech and
writing is ever kept in view. Much time is spent to fix
the student’s attention on details, and to develop for him,
a sense of form. Originality of thought is encouraged.
Simplicity and naturalness are insisted upon.
English is taught from the standpoint of usefulness,
rather than from that of ornament.
FRESHMAN COURSE

A. Grammar in its elementary phases is studied. The
course deals with the inflectional sides of the language.
Analysis is taught as an aid to construction only. While
it must be largely a reflective study, every endeavor is
made to make the work practical, to make it a help in the
full expression of thought. Krapp’s and Patrick’s texts
are used.
B. Reading as expression is taught in the winter
term. A systematic study of the various types of literary
composition is made. The best expression of meaning is
the one object of the course.
C. Spelling is studied as an important art. Four
periods a week are devoted to a careful consideration of
rules and phonetics. It is the purpose of the instructor
to develop conscience and pride in a matter that is often
slighted.
SOPHOMORE COURSE

A. Composition is taught throughout the sophomore

year. Theory and practice are united. One term is de­
voted to theme writing alone. Brief papers are prepared
as daily exercises. Practice in verse writing is found to
maintain interest, to increase knowledge of simple verse
forms, and to develop skill in the arrangement of sen­
tence elements. For a portion of the year, diary writing
is followed with interest; this assures constant exercise,
which is most important.
The text of Lockwood and Emerson is used for a
part of the work. Each student is required to own, and
is expected to use Wooley’s “Handbook of Composition.”
B. The classics designated as college entrance re­
quirements are studied as a part of this course.
JUNIOR COURSE

A. A study of the history of English literature is
made in the winter term. A knowledge of the great
periods is insisted upon. A general acquaintance with
books and their authors is required. Regular classroom
work is supplemented by reading in the library. Halleck’s
“History of English Literature” is used.
B. A similar course in American literature occupies
four hours weekly in the spring term. The text is
Watkin’s “American Literature.”
SENIOR COURSE

A. A rapid review of grammar, with special em­
phasis on sentence structure, is required of all seniors.
The course is given in the winter term. Each student
compiles a catalogue of faulty expressions which arouses
considerable interest, and cures many faults by simply
calling the attention of those who are in error to their
lapses in diction and sentence structure. Various texts
are consulted.
Page forty

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

B. In the spring term a course is given in methods
in grammar. The history of the' subject is considered.
A general acquaintance with various texts is expected.
Theories of classroom presentation of the subject are
discussed. Individual members of the class are required
to present plans for typical recitations.
C. Public speaking is given in the senior year under
the direction of the instructor in oratory. The various
forms of public address are analyzed. Original work is
required. Each student makes one public appearance in
the course of the year.

ORATORY DEPARTMENT
Miss Bauman

The department of oratory offers a great inducement
to students desiring a partial or complete course in ex­
pressive reading and public speaking. In this course an
effort is made to establish high ideals of expression and
interpretation.
This course aims not only to train the pupil in the
mechanics of reading, articulation, pronunciation, fluency,
readiness, but to stimulate imagination, quicken respon­
siveness, and increase the power of getting thought from
the printed page.
The work requires two years for completion.

Exercise for proper standing, sitting, walking,

etc.
Responsive drill. Pantomime.
2. Voice Culture.
Physiological study of the instrument of voice; cor­
rect breathing; exercises to develop freedom, range,

had a course of at least twenty-four private lessons and
make two or more public appearances as public readers.
“THE ART OF STORY TELLLING”

This is a course designed to meet the needs of the
teacher in the grades and high school. It quickens the
imagination, develops the insight into literature, incites
growth in the spirit of literature instead of slavish de­
pendence on the letters of the selection.
It causes the story-teller to see clearly and think
deeply and present the great points of the story. The
stories studied will be the world studies that have influ­

enced the race. They will be taken up in sequence and
their relation to the spiritual development of the race will
be shown.
Text: “Story-Telling,” by Lyman.
ETHICS
Peabody’s “Moral Philosophy” forms the outline for
class-room work in ethics. The history of the subject is
briefly considered. A general survey of the various
systems of ethics is made. By far the larger part of the
work is given to the discussion of everyday problems of
human conduct. These discussions and debates are
largely in the hands of the class; the instructor merely
directs the course of the recitation.
LOGIC
A course in the fundamentals of logic is offered for
one term as a substitute for Vergil. Practice in the vari­
ous figures of syllogism, detection of fallacies, exercises
in deductive and inductive reasoning, is the general con­
tent of the course. The text of Jevon and Hill is used.
PARAGRAPH WRITING
A course in paragraph writing is offered as a sub­
stitute for logic. It consists of daily themes on assigned
subjects throughout one term. The classroom work is
given over to a reading and discussion of papers pre­
pared. The aim is to develop an easy, ready style in
English composition.

DEPARTMENT OF SCIENCE
Mr. Snyder and Mr, Baker, Miss Ham, Mr. Stancliffe

PHYSICS

In the new four year course, physics is required
during the entire third year. The work is covered by
laboratory practice and recitation supplemented by cur­
rent articles on new inventions. The new physical labo­
ratory is fully equipped for thirty individual experi­
ments of the National Physics Course, and by the group
system many more can be performed. Each student is
required to perform and present a well written report
on twenty-five experiments, and is encouraged to per­
form more for which due credit is given. A small labo­
ratory fee of fifty cents the term is charged to cover
breakage and add to the equipment. The lecture table
apparatus is well suited to cover nearly every phase of
the subject. The whole course is very practical, as it
deals with the phenomena of everyday life, and aims to
associate the physics of the home with that of the uni­
verse. In every way possible the student is led to see the
great economic value that a more intimate knowledge
of nature’s laws will afford mankind.
ZOOLOGY

In the four year course, zoology is required for at
least fifty full periods during the second year. Graduates
of first grade high schools are admitted to the third year;
hence are not required to study the subject. The work is
covered by an outline study of the relation between plant
and animal life. Herrick’s text is followed in the study
of types, and special attention is given to the habits, food,
chief characteristics, and reproduction of the branch that
ycige forty-ihe

n

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

each type introduces. The economic importance of each
branch is given great prominence, and ways and means
for exterminating the harmful, and increasing the bene­
ficial animals are discussed. Laboratory work is taken
up as far as time permits. The chief aim in this course
is to create an interest in nature, train the powers of
observation, study the effect of environment and habit
upon animals, and thereby learn how to keep man supreme
in the animal kingdom.
CHEMISTRY

Chemistry is required in the fourth year of the new
course, forty weeks, five class hours a week. Three class
hours are devoted to classroom work and two to labo­
ratory exercises. The class work consists of discussion
of prepared lessons, demonstration by the instructor, and
solution of simple chemical problems. Each student is
required to perform in the laboratory at least thirtyfive experiments chosen from the list accepted by the
college entrance board.
BOTANY

The subject of botany is required for at least two
terms of the second year of the four-year course. The
work includes laboratory and garden practice in con­
nection with the text. Andrews’ text is used to outline
the work, and a careful study of the methods of repro­
duction, growth, and ecology of plants is made. The
economic importance of food plants is discussed, and the
best methods for their cultivation is considered. Circu­
lars and bulletins by government experts are consulted
for the most up-to-date information. As the collection
and analysis of a large number of plants tends to ex­
terminate the species, not more than fifteen specimens

that illustrate family characteristics are required. An
effort is made to ai'ouse an interest in agriculture and
horticulture, and to that end the school garden and its
aims are considered. Actual practice in planting, feed­
ing, and cultivating is carried on as far as time permits.
AGRICULTURE

Agriculture is required for two full terms, twenty-nine
weeks, four periods a week. Three periods are used for
recitation and discussion and one for laboratory practice.
Twenty experiments covering the propogation of plants,
soils and soil solutions; preparation of insecticides and
fungicides, together with the actual use of the Babcock
milk tester, are required. Each student is required to
plant and cultivate a plot of ground and harvest the crops.
A report on the cost of seeds, labor and value of crops
is required for each plot. The main object of the course
is not to make farmers but to stop unmaking them; to
bring the schools in touch with farm life.

DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC
Mr. Gleason, Miss Thomas

The courses of study offered in this department are
piano, voice, public school music (supervisor’s course),
and theory of music.
The length of a full course depends upon the ability
and previous training of pupils. A high standard of ex­
cellence is maintained and thorough examinations are
given.
PIANOFORTE

The course in pianoforte consists of the study of the
instrument, history of music, musical form and harmony.
The vrork in piano consists of major and minor scales
in rhythm, thirds, sixths and tenths, arpeggios and studies
selected from the works of the following composers;
Kohler, Opus 249; Matthews’ graded course; National
graded course; Czerny’s School of Velocity, Opus 299;
Duvernoy, Opus 120; Loeschhorn, Opus 66 and 67;
Heller’s Studies in Melody and Phrasing, Opus 45, 46
and 47; Bach’s Inventions, Cramer, Mendelssohn,
Chopin, Rawlan, dementi, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven
and others.
Some time is given to sight reading, ensemble play­
ing, transposition, memorizing and accompanying.
VOICE

Before taking up vocal culture, students should be
more or less proficient in reading music. The method of
development involves the study of breath control, toneformation, and sight reading.

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

Marchesi, Lutgen, and others are used. These studies
are supplemented by songs, classic and modern.
JUNIOR PIANO PUPILS

For pupils under twelve years of age short periods at
a reduced rate.
PUBLIC SCHOOL MUSIC

This is the supervisor’s course, and includes the study
of music fundamentals and sight singing, a course of
study for elementary schools, and methods of presenta­
tion, observation and practice teaching, harmony, history
of music, appreciation, chorus conducting, and voice, par­
ticularly the child’s voice.
Students entering upon this course must have adapta­
tion to this kind of work.
There is a demand for well trained supervisors of
public school music. The course is planned to meet this
demand.
FRESHMAN AND SENIOR COURSE

One daily lesson for a period of ten weeks is given
to the freshman class. This class is instructed in music
fundamentals, sight singing, and chorus work.
Three periods a week during the fall term are given
by the senior class to a review of the fundamentals of
music, to instruction in intervals, and elementary har­
mony, a grading of problems, methods of presentation,
and practice teaching. Brief talks are given them on the
history and form of music, and biographies.
Educational boards everywhere now prefer teachers
who are able to teach music intelligently and well.
Special attention is given to those who lack or think
they lack the ability to teach music in their schools.

HARMONY

One year, two lessons a week, is given to the study
of harmony. The text-book in use is Emery’s Elements
of Harmony.
RECITALS

Public and private recitals are held from time to time,
from which pupils gain much benefit.
CHORAL CLUB AND ORCHESTRA

A choral club and an orchestra are maintained, and
are open to those who can and desire to participate.
These are not maintained as much for public perform­
ances as for advancing a knowledge and appreciation of
the standard oratorios and cantatas.
VIOLIN AND OTHER INSTRUMENTS

A teacher of these instruments is employed as many
days a week as the demand requires.

HISTORY
Mr. Sackctt and Miss Ham, Miss Sullivan

Though the study of history in secondary schools
must include the memorizing of historical facts, it should
also include the examination of the relation of those facts
to one another as cause to effect. The most profitable
study of history selects such facts as best explain the
great movements in human progress. It tends to exclude
what is merely dramatic and interesting for what is
significant and illuminating. The skill to make a selec­
tion of what is most important is gradually developed in
the student by the emphasis which the instructor lays
upon the important events and movements. No one
method is employed to the exclusion of other methods.
No one phase of human progress is emphasized to the
exclusion of other phases; for example, constitutional
history is not taught to the exclusion of industrial history;
the effort is rather, so far as the limited allowance of
time permits, to present history as a harmonious whole.
Recourse is had to fac-similes and translations of
original documents to secure more of the historical at­
mosphere. Secondary sources of history are also drawn
upon to broaden the conception of the student. The
school is gradually adding to its equipment the best helps
in history.
The courses are:
Ancient and Mediaeval.

CIVICS
Miss Sullivan

The aim of the course in civics is to give the students
a practical working knowledge of American political in­
stitutions. A text is used as the basis of the work, and
this is supplemented by lectures, independent study on the
part of the student, and open classroom discussions. An
effort is made to lead the students to think for themselves
about political questions.

FRENCH
Mr. Barnes

The first year is devoted to the acquirement of a cor­
rect pronunciation, a working vocabulary, and such an
acquaintance with elementary grammatical principles as
will render the student able to read simple narrative prose.
Chardenal’s Complete Course is used, supplemented by
Fraser and Squair’s grammar, and by the reading of a
few easy stories. In the second year the study of more
technical constructions and idioms is required together
with the memorizing of verse. Constant practice in com­
position is afforded, and there is opportunity for con­
versation. The precise material used is at the discretion
of the instructor. The reading of the first year is selected
from Halevy’s “L’Abbe Constantin,” Malot’s “Sans
Famille,” Erckmann Chatrian’s “Madame Therese,”
Sand’s “La Mare au Diable,” and stories of this type.
That of the second year from the following: Daudet’s
“La Belle Nivernaise,” Merimee’s “Colomba,” Hugo’s
“Les Miserables” (selections), Zola’s “La Debacle,” etc.

GERMAN
Miss Roberts

The courses in German are primarily general culture
courses, leading the student to a deeper interest in a life
and a language differing from his own. Aside from the
prescribed course, the instructor gives numerous short
talks upon the legends, life, and customs of the German
people, which generally lead to independent investigation
in the library.
Six terms of German are offered in the regular normal
course, although more advanced work will be given if
there are a sufficient number of requests for it.
First year. Elements of grammar, Lehrbuch der
Deutschen Sprache, Spahnhoofd.
1. Conversational exercises.
2. Composition.
3. Memory work, simple poems, as Die Lorelei, Was

GEOGRAPHY
Miss Ham

A thorough review in geography is given in the junior
years. The course covers one term, five class hours a
week.
In the last few years geography has assumed new im­
portance in the school curriculum. It has come to be
recognized as the unity of all the sciences. The earth is
studied as the mother of the human race and the shaper
of all its activities. The question ever before the teacher
is how does this lesson or this particular fact bear upon
the life of man. The work consists of the study of earth
facts in the lights of their influence on human history.
PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY

Physical geography has long been recognized as the
best introductory subject to the study of the natural
sciences. The work in this course is very much like what
has often been taught in the grades under the title of
phenomenology. The course is primarily a thought
course. The aim is not so much to impart information
as to lead students to inquire into and think about the
physical facts and phenomena with which they come into
daily contact.
The course is confined largely to the study of earth
forms and conditions. But it must be borne in mind that
only those forms and agencies which influence animal or
plant life have any place in this study.
The work consists of classroom discussion, prepara­
tion of papers on assigned subjects, and field work. The
region around Edinboro is rich in glacial markings, and
furnishes much interesting matter for field work.

DEPARTMENT OF ART
Miss Powell

The time is near at hand when a knowledge of draw­
ing will be required of every public school teacher. It is
a valuable aid in nearly every department of school work.
The supervisors’ course in drawing is one especially
adapted to school work. It requires two years for its
completion. Students who have studied drawing before
entering the normal school will be allowed credit for the
work they have done.
The regular work for the first year is freehand, and
perspective drawing, exercises in ink and brush work,
water color painting, theory of design, constructive draw­
ing, theory of color, blackboard drawing, history of art,
methods, of drawing, psychology of the content, gram­
mar and technique of drawing.
In the second year, constructive drawing, clay model­
ing, water color painting, geometrical drawing, raffia
work, basketry, sewing, theory of design, time sketches in
pencil and charcoal, psychology of form, its place in edu­
cation, graded illustrative work, details of supervision,
and training in model school, are parts of the work.
ADVANCED WORK IN ART

Advanced students can take private lessons in oil,
water color and china painting, pastel and crayon work.

DOMESTIC SCIENCE AND MANUAL TRAINING
Miss Powell, Mr. Frost

The persistent demand for vocational education has
been met in the new course by domestic science, manual
training and agriculture. Domestic science or manual
training is required one term each in the freshman and
senior years.
The educational value of these manual arts is two­
fold: first, it brings pupils into contact with the nature
and sources of the materials of industrial life; and,
second, it introduces motive into school work. Both of
these values are distinctly social. The evolution of society
has removed the industrial processes from the home to
the factory. This has not only taken from children a
very large source of information, but has also wholly
freed them of social responsibility; as they no longer see
or help in providing and preparing the food, clothing and
shelter for the family. The manual arts, if properly
taught, should supply these deficiencies.
In manual training each student is taught the use of
tools, the nature of various woods, and is required to
make some article of distinctly commercial value.
The work in domestic science is confined for the
present to sewing and basketry, but it is hoped that a
cookery laboratory may be available in the near future.

THE EOINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

GENERAL PURPOSE
Commercial Department in a state normal school has
two distinct advantages. It has at its command
A
a dormitory system; it places a course that is too often
barren in cultural studies in full contact with a school
atmosphere that is largely colored by interest in a cur­
riculum of general culture. In addition the student feels
himself identified with a large and self-controlled student
body; he is an important factor in an institution of long
standing and considerable reputation.
In reestablishing the commercial department at Edinboro, the authorities have delayed until they are in a posi­
tion to offer courses of the same grade of scholarship as
is required in the regular normal course. The courses in
grammar, arithmetic and like subjects are taught by the
heads of the various departments in the normal school.
The technical subjects such as bookkeeping, stenography,
and typewriting, are under the direction of instructors
of long experience and wide reputation in the best of
business colleges.
The department is reestablished in response to a con­
stant request from young men and women who desire, m
particular, a good school for business training, that can
furnish dormitory facilities.
Three courses have been arranged. One course, ex­
tending through two full school years, leads to a diploma.
Two courses, one in shorthand and one in bookkeeping,
are of one year’s duration. A certificate is issued by the
school upon the completion of the work of either year.

Page fifty-nine

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

BOOKKEEPING DEPARTMENT
In this department bookkeeping, commercial law,
commercial arithmetic, banking and general office practice
are taught. Beginning with the simple principles that lie
at the basis of business and bookkeeping, and developing
the subject by inductive reasoning and philosophical
thought-processes, the student is led to a thorough and
comprehensive knowledge of the science of bookkeeping.
Impracticable methods are entirely eliminated, and
nothing whatever is admitted for purposes of instruction,
that is not found in general use among practical account­
ants.

partment are as follows:

DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL TRAINING
Mr.

Hayes

The physical training department affords an oppottunity for all students to engage in recreative and devel­
oping exercise, in order that they may enjoy healthful
living, build up their physique, and keep themselves in a
vigorous working condition.
As the reciprocal relations of body and mind are
better understood, the value of properly selected physical
exercise as a means of quickening sense perceptions,
strengthening the will and developing the powers of at­
tention are being more appreciated. Many backward
boys and girls have first been stimulated to mental activity
through physical efforts. The forced attention, quick
decision, and rapid responses called for in the gymnasium
work and games are a great aid to the development of the
mental faculties.
The physical training consists of practical work in
public school gymnastics, calisthenics, military drill,
dumb-bells, Indian clubs, wands, and heavy apparatus
work on the rings, horizontal bar, parallel bars, stall
bars, horse, buck, and climbing poles; also mat work and
games. The work is graded throughout the course, being
arranged in progressive order with a special aim of
making it physically and mentally educative, interesting
and enjoyable.
Each student is required to have a gymnasium suit;
the young ladies, a black flannel suit of bloomers and
blouse, and gymnasium shoes; the young men, a black
jersey, and gray trousers, and gymnasium shoes.

PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE

This course consists of text-book study, recitations,
lectures and demonstrations.
A careful study is made of the anatomical structure
of the human body; of the physiology of the neuro­
muscular system; of the physiology of metabolism, in­
cluding all topics connected with nutrition and excretion,
and of the blood, circulation and respiration.
Special attention is given to the agents—air, diet,
exercise, sleep, and bathing—which affect the human
organism and tend to adapt it to its environment.
The well trained teacher should be familiar with these
agents, and know how to influence them towards the
maintenance of health and the prolongation of life.

□
THE LIBRARY
Miss Wilson

The library, situated on the second floor of Normal
Hall, is a large, well lighted and well ventilated room.
All the shelves are open to students, allowing free access
to the eight thousand volumes, which are catalogued ac­
cording to the Dewey classification. The library con­
tains also, about four thousand government publications,
not catalogued. It is especially strong in periodical liter­
ature, several hundred volumes being bound and treated
as reference books. These are valuable to students as
the copies of “Poole’s Index” and “Readers’ Guide to
Periodical Literature,” make magazine articles on any
subject easily accessible.
The library is well supplied with daily and weekly

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

GENERAL INFORMATION
WHAT EDINBORO MEANS

Without considering the aim of the state, the Edinboro Normal School means several things for the boys
and girls of the twelfth district.
It means a plant has been established for them at a
cost of over $300,000 of the people’s money.
It means that this plant is maintained in the matters
of heat, light, and care, at the expense of the common­
wealth.
It means that the entire force of instructors is paid
by the state.
It means that the cost to the student is only for board
and personal expenses.
It means that an education which would cost four
hundred dollars a year elsewhere is furnished at a cost
of one hundred and sixty dollars.
It means, in practical result, that the state lends money
for the education of its young; that the loan is to be
paid, not in cash, but in two years’ teaching service, and
that that service, besides discharging the debt, brings the
one who renders it a reasonable wage.
ADVANTAGES

Edinboro offers the advantages of a school atmosphere
charged with the spirit of good work, of honest think­
ing, and of plain dealing. This spirit is manifested in
every department of school life, in the care of grounds
and buildings, as well as in classes in psychology and
mathematics. As a state school, everything is done to
better the training of those who are to undertake the
state’s most important work.
Page sevtnty-one

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

TO EDINBORO

Edinboro is reached by trolley from Erie, Cambridge
Springs and Meadville. Cars leave Erie fifteen minutes
after the hour, Cambridge Springs ten minutes after the
hour, and Meadville on the hour, stopping in front of the
school campus. In Erie, baggage checks should be de­
livered to the Erie Transfer Company, which will trans­
fer baggage to the depot of the Erie Traction Company
without additional charge. All baggage should be
checked to the Normal School.
AT EDINBORO

On reaching Edinboro, students should go immedi­
ately to the principal’s office in Normal Hall to register.
One-half of the term’s expenses is payable at opening of
the term; the balance becomes due at the middle of the
term. Books may be purchased or rented at the book
room. A deposit of the price of the books is required
when the books are taken. This deposit, minus rental,
is returned to the student on return of the books.
ROOMS

Rooms in Reeder and Haven Halls should be reserved,
as there are not enough to accommodate all who apply.
Reservation should be made as early as possible. Students
may room and board with private families in the town
with the consent of the principal. There is on file at the
office a list of all householders who have accommodations
for students. These householders, in receiving students
into their homes, become responsible to the officers of the
school for the conduct of their tenants. Any disregard
for the rules is at once reported. Some landlords have
Page seventy-two

RECITATION HALL AND GYMNASIUM

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

specially fitted rooms for those students who, because
their homes are near enough to permit a week-end visit,
wish to board themselves. While the practice is not as
common as it was a few years ago, for some students it
is both economical and pleasant.
Those girls who wish to do their own laundry work
may do so in the laundry provided by the school.
CHURCH AND RELIGION

As a state school, religious denominationalism is
barred. There are in Edinboro four prosperous congre­
gations which the students are urged to join in public
worship. The Presbyterians, the Adventists, the Baptists
and the Methodists are represented. The Catholic boys
and girls usually attend services at Cambridge Springs.
Among the students there are various religious organi­
zations that are prosperous and effective in the students’
lives.
While the normal school senses the supreme place of
religion, it clearly recognizes that the mission of the
school is to the intellectual side of life. It believes that
in training honest and consistent workers it is best serving
the interest of the state and the individual. The province
of the church is not infringed upon.
LITERARY SOCIETIES

The Potter and the Philo societies are the centers of
one phase of student interest. Both societies are doing
effective work, and enjoy a friendly rivalry.
LECTURE COURSE

In the normal lecture course an attempt is made to
Page seventy-three

l£J

E

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

bring to the students a series of public entertainments
that are unusual in interest and worth.
RULES

The state law lays down a heavy course of study.
The chief rule of the institution is the study hour. This
means that while recitations are in session from 7:45
a. m. to 3:30 p. m., and from 7 :oo p. m. to 10 :oo p. m.,
all students are to devote themselves to the work of the
school. In the fulfillment of this law rests the whole
matter of discipline. A student who comes to do the work
and applies himself to the best of his ability has little
time to spend on any other matters.
A CO-EDUCATIONAL SCHOOL

As a school for boys and girls little is to be said, ex­
cept that in every way possible is the best spirit of co­
education fostered. The matter of boys and girls on the
same campus is not looked upon as a necessary evil, but
as a wholesome situation for just the type of educational
work that a normal school must do.
PERMITS

As the school at any hour is expected to be able to
locate any student who is enrolled, it becomes necessary
to require that each student ask for a permit from the
office before leaving town.
When a student is absent from class for any cause,
he must procure a written permit from the principal be­
fore he can resume his school work in any class.
VISITORS

All visitors should so time their visits as to interfere
as little as possible with the schedule of the students.
Page seventy-four

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

While any student may be reached by telephone, all
persons are requested to use this means of communica­
tion only when urgent business demands.
REFUNDS

The school acts with reason and justice in the matter
of refunds in case a student is compelled to leave school
on account of sickness or other necessity.
HIGH SCHOOL CREDITS

The matter of high school credits may be settled by
consulting the conditions of admission under courses of
study in this catalogue.
DIPLOMAS

Candidates for graduation are examined by the state
board of examiners in the branches of the junior and
senior years. A diploma, in which are named the branches
of the course, is given those found qualified. A diploma
permits the holder to teach in the public schools of Penn­
sylvania without further examination, for two years.
Any graduate of this school who has continued his
studies for two years, and has taught two full annual
terms in the common schools of the state, is entitled to
a second diploma. These second diplomas are permanent
certificates of the highest grade. The holder is permitted
to teach in the public schools of Pennsylvania without
further examination.
To secure a second diploma the applicant must pre­
sent to the faculty and to the state board of examiners a
certificate testifying to his good moral character and skill
in the art of teaching, signed by the board or boards of
Page seventy-Uve

directors by whom he was employed, and countersigned
by the superinendent of the county in which he has
taught. Blank applications may be obtained at the office
of the principal.
