Summer Term of E. S. N. S.
The 1919 summer session of the Edinboro State Normal School
brought together a large and earnest group of students. At the approach
ing session of 1920 a doubled enrollment is anticipated. Every student
of last summer is the most effective advertisement the school has. These
students got what they came for, and are willing to tell about it. Per
haps they live in your town. Ask them.
The Edinboro State Normal School exists to serve teachers and pro
spective teachers. This summer, from June 28 to August 6, a group of
carefully chosen and able instructors will give courses designed to cover
a wide range of professional needs.

QUABTEBI.Y
The summer courses appeal to four groups of students:
I. To Candidates for Teachers’ Certificates.
All subjects required for examination for the Provisional, Profes
sional, or Permanent Certificates of Pennsylvania are taught. It is safer
to prepare for these examinations with a group of students and under the
guidance of a teacher than alone. Arrangements will be made, as last
summer, for the giving of these examinations for near-by counties at the
Normal School at the close of the session.
II.
To Prospective Normal Students.
THE SUMMER SCHOOL OF 1919
A student who is undecided whether to attend the Edinboro Normal
School might try the summer session and reach his decision. Many of
the courses give credit toward the regular normal course.
III. To Teachers Who Would Advance Professionally.
The education of a good teacher is never finished. The best grad
uates of the best schools seek opportunity for further study. To the
established and successful teacher the Edinboro Normal School offers
opportunity for growth and greater success. Any educator would profit
by attention to Educational Measurements, a most modern, scientific, and
useful device in education. Special attention is called to Professor Treeland’s course in this subject and also to his courses in methods and
observation of modern elementary school practice. The courses in pen-

who have not had equivalent courses would find most profitable the study
of Primary Methods or Reading Methods under Miss Jones and Principles

IV.
To College Preparatory Students.
Several intensive review college preparatory courses are offered and
others will be given upon the application of six students.

Special Courses in Education
PRINCIPLES OF EDUCATION
Mr. Baker
This is a brief but intensive course in some fundamentals of the
teaching process and in educational psychology.
The course will cover such topics as the work of the teacher, the
original nature of the child, the laws of habit formation, the laws of
learning, teaching children to memorize, teaching children to study,
individual differences, and types of class-room exercises.
Credit will be allowed toward the regular normal course.
MODERN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PRACTICE
Professor Freeland
It will be the aim of this course to demonstrate and exemplify the
most modern ideas in school work as they are being practiced in the
best school systems of the country. Ways in which project and problem
teaching are being used, methods of vitalizing school work through the
doctrine of interest, and devices for introducing motive into the work of
the school are some of the topics that will be discussed in the class hour
and exemplified in the training school.
Credit will be allowed toward the regular normal course.
EDUCATIONAL MEASUREMENTS
Priofessor Freeland
This course will be valuable, not only to superintendents, principals
and supervisors, but also to teachers who want to have command of the
tools that will enable them to evaluate the intelligence and the achieve
ments of their children.
The development of the standard tests most widely used will be
discussed and practical applications of them will be made.
Credit will be allowed toward the regular normal course.
OBSERVATION
Professor Freeland—Miss Jones—Miss Burchfield
Miss Stancliff
This course should be taken in connection with primary methods,
reading methods or modern elementary-school practice. Opportunity
will be given to observe the best modern school practice in the first,
second, third and fourth grades by competent teachers.
Credit will be allowed toward the regular normal course.
EDINBOBO
QUAETEELY
METHODS IN BEADING
Miss Jones
This course aims, by analysis and comparison of present-day texts
and methods, to give the teacher a basis for intelligent selection of
materials and the formation of her own method. It includes a consider
ation of phonics, the principles of story telling, dramatization, and
materials for supplementary reading.
Credit will be allowed toward the regular normal course.
PRIMARY METHODS
Miss Jones
Definite methods of approaching the various subjects in the primary
grades are given. Seat work, drills, dramatization, games, phonics, and
other primary devices receive due attention.
Credit will be allowed toward the regular normal course.
ZOOLOGY—JUST CAUGHT A CEAY-FISH
PEDAGOGY
Students expecting to teach in northwestern Pennsylvania next year
will find of immediate value the courses given by the six superintendents
of this section. The basis of their work will be the books in pedagogy,
required for provisional, professional and permanent certificates. Each
superintendent will serve for one week. This will mean a desirable
breadth and variety of viewpoint. The titles are yet to be announced by
the State Department of Education, but the books are sure to be of
professional value.

Methods in Public School Drawing
Miss Hussey
The course in Drawing is designed to meet the needs of grade teach
ers. It furnishes problems for all grades and presents the best methods
of teaching drawing. Students preparing for the examination in drawing
should elect this course.
Public School Drawing is offered to special teachers and those pre
paring for supervision. Problems in color and design are taken up and
much material of real interest to children is assembled. The presentation
of technical matters in such an nntechnical way as children can grasp is
emphasized. The planning of course in drawing and other special prob
lems of the supervisor are treated. Students must have had previous
work in drawing or be taking the elementary course. Attendance is
required three hours daily. Credit will be allowed toward the regular
normal course.

Public School Music
Miss Dayton
The daily one-hour course in Vocal Music is an elementary course in
graded school music and methods, and prepares for the state examina
tion.
The Music Department offers a special course in Public School Music.
The course is of benefit to grade teachers as well as to the special teacher
of music. Students completing the course receive one term’s credit in
the regular two-year course in Public School Music. The course meets
three hours daily and includes the following subjects: (The figures indi

Dormitories
All students living away from home are required to room and board
in the dormitories. This is a privilege rather than a restriction, and
fosters a unified, happy school life. The rules of behaviour are merely
such as are dictated by customary politeness and due social regard for
the rights of other people.
Students are urged to make early reservation of rooms by mail. Last
year’s enrollment was 160, and all the rooms in Haven Hall were taken
before the opening day. The school can find lodging for all who come,
and the large, new dining-room will accommodate all.

The school laundry is equipped to do students’ washing. Ironing is

provided. Students who have washing done at the school are required to
buy the net laundry bags sold at the book room for ninety cents. The
fee paid for board and room includes laundry service.
Furnishings
Students are asked to bring their own towels and table napkins.
Recreation and Social Life
Edinboro students have a good time. It is part of the summer’s
experience to enjoy the lake. Boating, gathering pond lilies, fishing,
walking, and swimming are easily possible.
In a brief term not many big social events can take place. Last
summer there were two: a dance in the gymnasium and a camp supper
at Lakeside. Both were largely attended and enthusiastically com
mended. And then there were the delightfully spontaneous picnics where
a table group or other circle of friends arranged its own outing. These
are the things that produce delightful kodak pictures and pleasant
memories of comradeship.
Why Come to Edinboro ?
There are three good reasons for choosing Edinboro as the place to
go to school:
The faculty is able and sympathetic.
The school spirit is one of joy in work.
The natural surroundings are lovely.
For purposes of summer enjoyment a school in direct contact with
nature has the decided advantage.
The Edinboro State Normal School is not merely in a prosperous
village; it is most delightfully situated on the south border of Edinboro.
Though only a few minutes walk from the stores at the center and'
located on a residential street, its buildings overlook open country and
give a view of distant woods.
The campus, with a long frontage on a street bordered with tall
maple trees, is spacious and is planted with a variety of trees effectively
14
KSI14B0R0
QUARTERLY
placed. Numerous lawn settees are provided for the convenience of those
who wish seats in the shade and there is always the grassy lawn for
those more unconventional. The spacious porch of Haven Hall with its
benches also offers inviting outdoor rest.
Birds build in the trees of the campus and under the eaves of the
buildings and add their life, color, and music to the scene. Last season
the favorites were a pair of Baltimore orioles who built a well-concealed
nest on the drooping end of an evergreen bough.
A CAMPUS GROUP
Art has aided nature by provision for outdoor sports. A spacious
athletic field and a number of tennis courts adjacent to the gymnasium
give ample opportunity for as strenuous outdoor sport as may be desired.
Delightful as these natural surroundings are, a prospective summer
student would inquire also about material comforts. Here too, the Edinboro Normal School is amply equipped. The buildings are brick, attrac
tive architecturally, and well planned for their special uses.

Normal Hall is tho largest recitation building and contains besides
class rooms and laboratories, tho offices, library and auditorium. The
library is a very large, airy room, well furnished with books and current
magazines and affords a pleasant, quiet place to study. A librarian is in
attendance to loan books and to assist in reference work. The audi
torium is tho meeting place for chapel, lectures and entertainments. It
is large enough to accommodate mass meetings of the <--jmmunity.
The dormitories are commodious, light, airy. There are no poor
rooms; all are comfortable and pleasant. They are so fully furnished
that little but added ornament is required. Reeder Hall affords suites of
bedroom and sitting-room. Both dormitories have hot and cold water at
all times. All rooms are electric lighted.
AMONG THE LILIES
Meals at the Edinboro Normal are promptly served from an up-todate kitchen and are eaten in a large and beautiful dining-room. It
is a pleasure merely to be in the room and to feel its beauty. The cook
ing is good and the provision is ample. A large garden makes possible a
continuous supply of fresh vegetables.
Altogether, outdoors and in, the campus and buildings of Edinboro
Normal make for a pleasant, profitable school life. One may both enjoy
and study and the combination makes happy students.
The country surrounding Edinboro lends much enchantment to one
who would be impressed with nature’s beauty and stillness. Skies were
never so blue, sunrises so gorgeous, nor sunsets so alluring. After a day’s
work, the beauty of Edinboro Lake in its serene after glow is a most
restful and uplifting climax.
16
EDINBOEO
quarterly
Bird lovers may feast to their hearts' content. The shores of the
lake abound with specimens of rarity and beauty. The inlet is a con
tinuous chorus of songsters from dawn to darkness.
Edinboro has been greatly favored in having the lake at its northern
extremity. In summer the number, quantity, and size ,if the fish have
always attracted fishermen who have found it the most restful and
pleasant way to get away from the business world, kluskalonge, yellow
perch, black bass, and crappie abound in plenty—and the joy of it is
they are catchable. Rods and lines are the style in Edinboro during the
summer season.
A BOTANY FIELD TRIP
Almost every spot along the shore could be made available for some
style of recreation; already many summer homes have been built and
natural picnic grounds placed. Oak Tree Landing is easily approached
both from the road and from the lake, dry wood is found in the grove
near by, and the “bacon bats’’ and “wiener roasts’’ prove a sure cure
for tired minds and bodies.
The real picnic grounds with tables ready for use are at the top of
the hill in the grove, and an excellent spring has been well piped, so that
water facilities are not lacking.
Speaking of picnics and hikes to a grove, we must not neglect
“Billings Grove.’’ It is not too far and the natural beauties there lend
many charms. The ravine is so full of adventure, it lures the lover of
the wild.
EDINBOBO

Green Point, Lakeside, and many other unnamed points have been
favorite rendezvous for many happy crowds, approached either by boat
or by path from the main road. One favorite spot on the inlet, Taylor’s
Landing, is worthy of mention and here many an early breakfast has
been ravenously devoured by earnest birdlovers. Beautiful it is in every
sense of the word at that time of day!
The outlet has winding curves and is one of the favorite haunts of
paddlers and rowers. Boats and canoes are for rent either at the Jervis
boat-landing on the outlet or the “Allen Boat Livery’’ on the lake.
ON A PICNIC
The lake is not Edinboro’s only source of delight.
level enough to make hiking a real pleasure.
The country is
Along Perry Lane the trees form such an arch of shade, one has
only to wander out Waterford street, turn to the right at the first country
turn and find himself there—returning to Edinboro by way of the
Barrow farm and thus completing the square. The Normal grounds are
within eye’s range from every point and yet one feels refreshed to have
gone so far.
On the opposite side of town another walk of about the same distance
has many attractive features. One could spend much time watching the
splashing water on the old mill dam.
Mount Pleasant, three miles east of town, is a pleasant haunt for
hiking or motoring parties.

Should a city dweller tarrying in Edinboro desire occasional diver
sion of his wonted kind, the bustling city of Erie is only twenty miles
distant and is readily reached by a trolley that passes the Normal
grounds.
SUMMEE BOATING
Cambridge Springs, seven miles to the south, offers inducements for
recreation and various pleasures. Hikes to Cambridge Springs are
among the enjoyments of Edinboro students.
For one seeking healthful enjoyment and recreation as well as educa

The spirit of recitation, recreation and study is most contagious and in
truest harmony with the gladness of surrounding nature.

Special Courses in Education
PRINCIPLES OF EDUCATION
Mr. Baker
This is a brief but intensive course in some fundamentals of the
teaching process and in educational psychology.
The course will cover such topics as the work of the teacher, the
original nature of the child, the laws of habit formation, the laws of
learning, teaching children to memorize, teaching children to study,
individual differences, and types of class-room exercises.
Credit will be allowed toward the regular normal course.
MODERN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PRACTICE
Professor Freeland
It will be the aim of this course to demonstrate and exemplify the
most modern ideas in school work as they are being practiced in the
best school systems of the country. Ways in which project and problem
teaching are being used, methods of vitalizing school work through the
doctrine of interest, and devices for introducing motive into the work of
the school are some of the topics that will be discussed in the class hour
and exemplified in the training school.
Credit will be allowed toward the regular normal course.
EDUCATIONAL MEASUREMENTS
Priofessor Freeland
This course will be valuable, not only to superintendents, principals
and supervisors, but also to teachers who want to have command of the
tools that will enable them to evaluate the intelligence and the achieve
ments of their children.
The development of the standard tests most widely used will be
discussed and practical applications of them will be made.
Credit will be allowed toward the regular normal course.
OBSERVATION
Professor Freeland—Miss Jones—Miss Burchfield
Miss Stancliff
This course should be taken in connection with primary methods,
reading methods or modern elementary-school practice. Opportunity
will be given to observe the best modern school practice in the first,
second, third and fourth grades by competent teachers.
Credit will be allowed toward the regular normal course.
EDINBOBO
QUAETEELY
METHODS IN BEADING
Miss Jones
This course aims, by analysis and comparison of present-day texts
and methods, to give the teacher a basis for intelligent selection of
materials and the formation of her own method. It includes a consider
ation of phonics, the principles of story telling, dramatization, and
materials for supplementary reading.
Credit will be allowed toward the regular normal course.
PRIMARY METHODS
Miss Jones
Definite methods of approaching the various subjects in the primary
grades are given. Seat work, drills, dramatization, games, phonics, and
other primary devices receive due attention.
Credit will be allowed toward the regular normal course.
ZOOLOGY—JUST CAUGHT A CEAY-FISH
PEDAGOGY
Students expecting to teach in northwestern Pennsylvania next year
will find of immediate value the courses given by the six superintendents
of this section. The basis of their work will be the books in pedagogy,
required for provisional, professional and permanent certificates. Each
superintendent will serve for one week. This will mean a desirable
breadth and variety of viewpoint. The titles are yet to be announced by
the State Department of Education, but the books are sure to be of
professional value.

Methods in Public School Drawing
Miss Hussey
The course in Drawing is designed to meet the needs of grade teach
ers. It furnishes problems for all grades and presents the best methods
of teaching drawing. Students preparing for the examination in drawing
should elect this course.
Public School Drawing is offered to special teachers and those pre
paring for supervision. Problems in color and design are taken up and
much material of real interest to children is assembled. The presentation
of technical matters in such an nntechnical way as children can grasp is
emphasized. The planning of course in drawing and other special prob
lems of the supervisor are treated. Students must have had previous
work in drawing or be taking the elementary course. Attendance is
required three hours daily. Credit will be allowed toward the regular
normal course.

Public School Music
Miss Dayton
The daily one-hour course in Vocal Music is an elementary course in
graded school music and methods, and prepares for the state examina
tion.
The Music Department offers a special course in Public School Music.
The course is of benefit to grade teachers as well as to the special teacher
of music. Students completing the course receive one term’s credit in
the regular two-year course in Public School Music. The course meets

Dormitories
All students living away from home are required to room and board
in the dormitories. This is a privilege rather than a restriction, and
fosters a unified, happy school life. The rules of behaviour are merely
such as are dictated by customary politeness and due social regard for
the rights of other people.
Students are urged to make early reservation of rooms by mail. Last
year’s enrollment was 160, and all the rooms in Haven Hall were taken
before the opening day. The school can find lodging for all who come,
and the large, new dining-room will accommodate all.

The school laundry is equipped to do students’ washing. Ironing is
done for the boys. Girls may do their own ironing. Electric flats are
provided. Students who have washing done at the school are required to
buy the net laundry bags sold at the book room for ninety cents. The
fee paid for board and room includes laundry service.
Furnishings
Students are asked to bring their own towels and table napkins.
Recreation and Social Life
Edinboro students have a good time. It is part of the summer’s
experience to enjoy the lake. Boating, gathering pond lilies, fishing,
walking, and swimming are easily possible.
In a brief term not many big social events can take place. Last
summer there were two: a dance in the gymnasium and a camp supper
at Lakeside. Both were largely attended and enthusiastically com
mended. And then there were the delightfully spontaneous picnics where
a table group or other circle of friends arranged its own outing. These
are the things that produce delightful kodak pictures and pleasant
memories of comradeship.
Why Come to Edinboro ?
There are three good reasons for choosing Edinboro as the place to
go to school:
The faculty is able and sympathetic.
The school spirit is one of joy in work.
The natural surroundings are lovely.
For purposes of summer enjoyment a school in direct contact with
nature has the decided advantage.
The Edinboro State Normal School is not merely in a prosperous
village; it is most delightfully situated on the south border of Edinboro.
Though only a few minutes walk from the stores at the center and'
located on a residential street, its buildings overlook open country and
give a view of distant woods.
The campus, with a long frontage on a street bordered with tall
maple trees, is spacious and is planted with a variety of trees effectively
14

QUARTERLY
placed. Numerous lawn settees are provided for the convenience of those
who wish seats in the shade and there is always the grassy lawn for
those more unconventional. The spacious porch of Haven Hall with its
benches also offers inviting outdoor rest.
Birds build in the trees of the campus and under the eaves of the
buildings and add their life, color, and music to the scene. Last season
the favorites were a pair of Baltimore orioles who built a well-concealed
nest on the drooping end of an evergreen bough.
A CAMPUS GROUP
Art has aided nature by provision for outdoor sports. A spacious
athletic field and a number of tennis courts adjacent to the gymnasium
give ample opportunity for as strenuous outdoor sport as may be desired.
Delightful as these natural surroundings are, a prospective summer
student would inquire also about material comforts. Here too, the Edinboro Normal School is amply equipped. The buildings are brick, attrac
tive architecturally, and well planned for their special uses.

Normal Hall is tho largest recitation building and contains besides
class rooms and laboratories, tho offices, library and auditorium. The
library is a very large, airy room, well furnished with books and current
magazines and affords a pleasant, quiet place to study. A librarian is in
attendance to loan books and to assist in reference work. The audi
torium is tho meeting place for chapel, lectures and entertainments. It
is large enough to accommodate mass meetings of the <--jmmunity.
The dormitories are commodious, light, airy. There are no poor
rooms; all are comfortable and pleasant. They are so fully furnished
that little but added ornament is required. Reeder Hall affords suites of
bedroom and sitting-room. Both dormitories have hot and cold water at
all times. All rooms are electric lighted.
AMONG THE LILIES
Meals at the Edinboro Normal are promptly served from an up-todate kitchen and are eaten in a large and beautiful dining-room. It
is a pleasure merely to be in the room and to feel its beauty. The cook
ing is good and the provision is ample. A large garden makes possible a
continuous supply of fresh vegetables.
Altogether, outdoors and in, the campus and buildings of Edinboro
Normal make for a pleasant, profitable school life. One may both enjoy
and study and the combination makes happy students.
The country surrounding Edinboro lends much enchantment to one
who would be impressed with nature’s beauty and stillness. Skies were
never so blue, sunrises so gorgeous, nor sunsets so alluring. After a day’s
work, the beauty of Edinboro Lake in its serene after glow is a most
restful and uplifting climax.

EDINBOEO

Bird lovers may feast to their hearts' content. The shores of the
lake abound with specimens of rarity and beauty. The inlet is a con
tinuous chorus of songsters from dawn to darkness.
Edinboro has been greatly favored in having the lake at its northern
extremity. In summer the number, quantity, and size ,if the fish have
always attracted fishermen who have found it the most restful and
pleasant way to get away from the business world, kluskalonge, yellow
perch, black bass, and crappie abound in plenty—and the joy of it is
they are catchable. Rods and lines are the style in Edinboro during the
summer season.
A BOTANY FIELD TRIP
Almost every spot along the shore could be made available for some
style of recreation; already many summer homes have been built and
natural picnic grounds placed. Oak Tree Landing is easily approached
both from the road and from the lake, dry wood is found in the grove
near by, and the “bacon bats’’ and “wiener roasts’’ prove a sure cure
for tired minds and bodies.
The real picnic grounds with tables ready for use are at the top of
the hill in the grove, and an excellent spring has been well piped, so that
water facilities are not lacking.
Speaking of picnics and hikes to a grove, we must not neglect
“Billings Grove.’’ It is not too far and the natural beauties there lend
many charms. The ravine is so full of adventure, it lures the lover of
the wild.

Green Point, Lakeside, and many other unnamed points have been
favorite rendezvous for many happy crowds, approached either by boat
or by path from the main road. One favorite spot on the inlet, Taylor’s
Landing, is worthy of mention and here many an early breakfast has
been ravenously devoured by earnest birdlovers. Beautiful it is in every
sense of the word at that time of day!
The outlet has winding curves and is one of the favorite haunts of
paddlers and rowers. Boats and canoes are for rent either at the Jervis
boat-landing on the outlet or the “Allen Boat Livery’’ on the lake.
ON A PICNIC
The lake is not Edinboro’s only source of delight.
level enough to make hiking a real pleasure.
The country is
Along Perry Lane the trees form such an arch of shade, one has
only to wander out Waterford street, turn to the right at the first country
turn and find himself there—returning to Edinboro by way of the
Barrow farm and thus completing the square. The Normal grounds are
within eye’s range from every point and yet one feels refreshed to have
gone so far.
On the opposite side of town another walk of about the same distance
has many attractive features. One could spend much time watching the
splashing water on the old mill dam.
Mount Pleasant, three miles east of town, is a pleasant haunt for
hiking or motoring parties.

Should a city dweller tarrying in Edinboro desire occasional diver

distant and is readily reached by a trolley that passes the Normal
grounds.

Cambridge Springs, seven miles to the south, offers inducements for
recreation and various pleasures. Hikes to Cambridge Springs are
among the enjoyments of Edinboro students.
For one seeking healthful enjoyment and recreation as well as educa

The spirit of recitation, recreation and study is most contagious and in
truest harmony with the gladness of surrounding nature.
