THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
LOCATION
pr dinboro is a prosperous country village in the heart of the rich
agricultural district of Northwestern 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 sedlion 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 syftems of the Middle West and at the
same time enjoys a pleaisant remoteness, a slight seclusion, that is
thoroughly consistent with good ^udent work.
THE VILLAGE
"^he village is progressive. Its influences are for good. It has
an old amd well established citizenship. It was founded in
1 796 by sturdy New England stock whose mark is readily traced
in the community today. The village bears the inevitable stamp
of the school town; it has been known as a place of learning for
many years.
THE LAKE
Edinboro lies just north of the village. Exactly what part
it has played in the last fifty years in the spirit amd tradition of
the school would be hard to estimate. It is a charming sheet of
fredi water, the second larged lake in the State, and calls visitors
PAOE EIGHT

—Kuyptr
!
LAKE EDINBORO
THE EBINBORO STATE MOKNAI. SCHOOL
from many miles around. It affords a reitful field for recreation
with its boating, bathing, and fishing.
THE SCHOOL
"^he early e^ablishment of an academy in 1857 was a mani
festation of the pioneer spirit that charadlerized all eariy
American life. Somebody has said that our pioneers sJways built
a church at one end of their town and a school at the other.
In
such spirit was the academy founded in 185 7.
It became the
Eldinboro State Normal School in 1861. For fifty-one years it
hsis held a high place in the educational life of its particuleu distri from one end of the land to the other.
PURPOSE
TKe 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 DUlricft, 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
training, but also a training along broad and cultural lines that muSl
be the basis of all effedlive 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 mu^l be people trained
not only in mathematics but in manhood, not only in literature but
in life. The fadl that the mass of the older alumni of the school
are engaged in all the varied fields of life is but proof of the effici
ency of the normal school.
Broadly speaking, therefore, there are two aims in the pur
pose of the Edinboro State Normal School; to send its graduate
PAGE TEM
THE EBINBOltO STATE NOKNAL SCHOOL
out with a confidence bom of a thorough knowledge of method
and of matter; and in the second place, to imbue him with the
spirit of the true teacher—the teacher who cem thrill his pupils
with glimpses of new horizons and broader visions.
THE FACULTY
por the accomplishment of this chief aim of the school, the
Board of Trustees maintains a faculty that are not only
leaders in their various departments, but are also able demonstra
tors of method. They me men of wide trmning in American col
leges and universities, and above all are men whose hearts are in
their work. While there is a special department devoted to the
technical phases of method, each class is a pracftical laboratory of
demon^ration.
THE STUDENTS
^^fter a visitor has seen the recitation rooms, the library, and the
dormitories, after he has interviewed the faculty and the
trustees, he will not be said to know the school unless he sees
the students themselves. In inviting the young men and the young
women of the Twelfth Normal School Di^lria to join the students
at Edinboro, the authorities feel that in the earnest company of
indents is the chief lure.
When all is said, it is on the indents
that the real worth of the school muSl re^l; and in the Edinboro
State Normal School there is, by the common consent of all who
know, a splendid body of indents..
"STUDENT INTERESTS"
<*^tudent interests" is a name that has arisen in the laA genera
tion to describe the phases of indent arftivities that are not
especially directed by the faculty. It embraces all forms of ath
PACE ELEVB(
THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
letics, dreunatic intere^, and Audent publications.
In all these
branches the Audents at the Edinboro State Normal School main
tain vigorous and healthful a(5livities.
The gymnasium and athlet
ic teams are intended to benefit the entire body of students; the
1912 BASKETBALL TEAM

dramatic and publication fields are open to those who have par
ticular intere^ in these departments.
In this group muit also be placed the band, the literary soci
eties, the Young Women’s Christian Association, and the Young
Men’s Christiem Association. All of these organizations are well
supported and add much to the school life.
DISCIPLINE
'J’he institution is maintained for the students. Only such regula
tions are made as tend to serve the welfare of its patrons.
Discipline is as nearly voluntary
possible.
Students are ex
pected to conduct themselves as would be fitting for those enter
ing one of the noblest vocations of men.
LIVING
Jt h« been said that he is a wise man who knows how to rest
wisely. In Reeder and Haven Halls the boys and girls at Ed-'
boro have the advantages d a home atmosphere, and of assoaation with cultured men and women. The authc^rities endeavor to
maint^un during study hours the best possible conditions for study;
outside of study hours, they endeavor just as earnestly to maintain
an atmosphere of happy contentment, in surroundings that are
inspiring and uplifting. The "weekly sing," just after supper on
Thursday night, has become a feature of Edinboro life.

GROUNDS AND BU1U>INGS
’Y'he campus of the school embraces thiity-(me acres of pleeisantly situated leuid. On it may be found qiecimens of prac
tically all the native trees—many of which represent over half a
century of growth. Their care is the particular pride of certain
officers
the school; their beauty constitutes no small part of the
agreeable setting of the buddings. 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, be^es the thoroughly
modem heating plant and electric power house. In order of their
age they are:
COMMERCIAL HALL
Commercial HrJl is the originad academy building. It was
erected in 1837. It stands at the northwest comer the campus.
It is a substantial frame building which houses the book room,
two literary society halls amd a large classroom. Caure 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 physicail and chemical laboratories, the large
examination hall, a large lecture room, and vairious rooms for
supplies. While the old hall will undoubtedly make way for
a new science hrJl m the neru* future, it will be long before its
lines of happy symmetry and general air of quaintness will fade
from the minds of those who know it.

SOUTH HALL
South Hall is the last o^ the old donnitories. Built in 1860,
it was the center of school life for many generations. It has been
abandoned as a jtudent dotmkcMry since the building of die modem
hails. It is now used fw storage, and as a home for the caretak«TS of the othar haOs. Old South H^, widi its great chinmeys,
forms a picturesque badcground for the newer group of buildings.
MUSIC HALL
Well s^arated frc«n the (rther buildings. Music HaH affords
an admirable home fcnr die d^artment of music. It was built in
1862, and remodelled in 1878. It contains a pleasaid assembly
haU, practice rooms, and instructors’ studios.
NORMAL HALL
Normal HaH was built in 1875. In 1891 it was greatly
enlarged. It contains the chapel, the library, the model school,
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. The model school has ten classrooms besides a large
assembly hall.
RECITATION HALL
Recitation Hall is a monument to the originality trf J. A.
Cooper, founder of the normal school, who for thirty years was
the best known man in common school life of western Pennsyl
vania. It has six pleasant recitation rooms. All the rooms on
the first floor open out of doors so that it is impossible for a student
to P21SS from one class to another without going into the fresh air.
It was built in 1880.

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
HAVEN HALL
In 1903 a modem dormitory for the young women was
constructed. It is a four story structure of substantial quality.
Steam heat and electric light render the hall very comfortable.
Its direction and care both rum to make it a real home for the
young women. The dining hall, for both boys and girls, occupies
the first, or basement floor. It wars built in 1903.
THE GYMNASIUM
The Gymnasium, built in 1906, is a thoroughly modem and
practical building, with excellent equiprnent 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, ais 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 proposed
by The Carnegie Foundation.
"A unit" represents a year’s study in any subject in a secondeiry school constituting approximately a quarter of a fiJl year’s
work.
This statement is designed to afford a standard of measure
ment for the work done in a secondary school. It takes the fouryear high school course as a baisis, and assumes that the length of
the school year is from thirty-six to forty weeks, that a period is
from forty to sixty minutes in length, and that the study is pursued
PAGE SEVENTEEN
m
THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
for four or five periods a week; but under ordinary circumstances
a satisfactory year’s work in any subject cannot be accomplished
in less than one hundred and twenty sixty-minute hours or their
equivalent. Schools organized on a different basis can neverthe
less estimate their work in terms of this unit.
Students admitted to the first year shall have a fair knowl
edge of auithmetic, reading, orthography, penmanship. United
States history, geography, grammar, physiology, civics, and
the elements of algebra to quadratics.

DEPARTMENT OF PEDAGOGY
(Theory and Practice of Teaching)
MR. WALK, MISS STURGEON
The prime purposes of this department are:
I. To give the student a clear insight into the character
of the fundamental problems of modem educationaJ
principle and practice. Special stress is Isud on the
value of the vsurious subjects of the school curriculum
gauged in terms of their ability to satisfy real needs
or 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 constitute
the ground-work for all professional theory and
method worthy of the name, viz.:
1. General and Special Methods.
~
RAGE TWENTY-NINE
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.
3. Written and oral reports on these observations.
4. Complete control of a class, under immediate
supervision of the management, for at least
one term, and in some cases two terms, and
the entire year.
THE EDINBORO STATE NORHAL SCHOOL
THEORY AND METHODS OF TEACHING
1. General and Special Methods.
The work in general methods supplements instruction
in special methods, and relates to the fundamenteJ
problems of school organization and management.
Courses in special methods have to do with the proper
presentation of subject 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 pro
gressive tendencies of the times.
Great emphasis 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.

II. Psychology.
Instruction in psychology is designed to fulfill three dis
tinct and indispensable aims:
PAGE THIRTY
c
THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
A. To give the student, by means of class discussion
and experimenteJ work, a clear understanding of
the great principles underlying mental activity in
general.
B. To examine these principles with speciaJ reference
to their bearing upon the study of the child
mind.
C. To apply these mental laws as directly and emphat
ically as possible to the art of teaching, as inter
preted in the light of modem educational theory.
Suggested texts: "Briefer Course," James; Betts; Bald
win; Thomdyke; "Psychology in the School
room," Dexter and Garlick.
111. The History of Education.
The chief purpose of this study is to establish an
understanding of present educational ideals, practices,
tendencies, and problems. This is accomplished
A. By an interpretation of educational traditions, and
an explanation of their relationship to modem
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 extreme in either
theory or practice.
C. By assisting the student to formulate ideals or stand
ards 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.
FACE THISTY-ONE
THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
PRACTICE OF TEACHING
The practice of teaching in all its phases is perfonned in di
rect 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. In
struction in music, drawing, penmanship, physical training and
German is supervised directly by the several members of the fac
ulty who teach those subjects 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 adminis
tration and supervision the interests of both pupils and student
teachers are promoted without detriment to either one or the
other of these two clsisses. Most emphatically this model-practice
school is not a mere laboratory for experimentation. Rather is it
a place where pupils get thorough instruction under supervision of
specialists, and where teachers lest, through application to the
problems of school-room routine, the value of theory previously re
ceived.
A. Observation.
Observation is based on three syllabi, entitled re
spectively conditions for work, the class, and the
teacher. From these syllabi certain items are assigned
PAGE THIRTY-TWO
i
[
THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
for each week’s work. Weekly meetings are held, and
written reports, summarizing in concise, systematic form,
the record of the week’s observation, me submitted,
read, and analyzed. The subject matter from which
assignments 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 re
quired to retain a permanent file of his reports for ref
erence use in teaching.
Reports of the observers are analyzed also at the reg
ular recitations of the normal school classes in methods.
Members of the senior class who are doing practice
teaching thus profit by criticism or commendation put in
direct, specific form. No pains are spared to relate the
results of observation immediately and vitally to class
room instruction.
B. Student Teaching.
Each senior student m the normal school is required
to do one hour of teaching or observation daily through
out the entire yeen.
Students designated for teaching are assigned to their
respective grades and subjects with as much care as
possible. Regard is had for academic qualifications
and previous experience, and these, together with per
sonality, cire made the basis for assignments.
One of the features making most strongly for co-ordi
nation in teaching activities is that of the lesson plan. At
the beginning of each week every student teacher is re
quired to submit a progrcun embodying a definite
PAG* THIRTY-THRBS

THE EDINBORO STATE NORHAL SCHOOL
scheme for each day’s instruction, and covering the fol
lowing points: (1) 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 plan is a prerequisite to
the week s work. Each teacher is thus required to
systematize his instruction, and the drill he obtains
thereby is an invaluable pedagogical discipline. Be
sides 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.

DEPARTMENT OF LATIN
MR. BARNES AND MR, SACKETT, MR. GLEASON, MISS SWENARTON
From the beginning accuracy in pronunciation and in knowl
edge of inflectional forms is rigidly required. The work of the
entire first year is designed to render the student sufficiently fa
miliar with accidence and elementary 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 statement is definitely insisted upon.
The prescribed reading in Caesar. Cicero, and Mergil 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 wnters, are read in addition, and an attempt is made
to develope an intelligent appreciation of the significance of litera
ture and to aid the student in forming correct conceptions of lit
erary culture. TTie 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 construc
tion, idiom and airangement. Translation is required more as a
test of accuracy in this than as an end in itself. Versification and
formal grammar 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, per
haps, to the stimulation of interest in the subject and to the en
couragement of independent investigation.

DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS
MK. SIDDELL AND MK. SACKETT, MR. FOSTEJt, MISS EMERY
A study of the cause for just complaint on the part of teach
ers of advanced mathematics leads one to believe that the trouble
is directly traceable to poor work in elementary mathematics. Ac
cordingly the aim here is to develop strength of work in both
mentzJ and written arithmetic, in algebra and in geometry. If a
strong foundation is laid in these branches, the advanced courses
in mathematics in normal school, college, or technicd school will
not present insurmountable difficulties to the student, nor will
county and state examiners of prospective teachers find indications
of lamentable weakness in these subjects. To this end, thorough
ness in all work is the watchword. An attempt to "humanize"
the vairious 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. Tire aim is to develop accuracy, facflity, and rapidity of
work, both oral and written. Clearness and conciseness of ex
planation 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 sJso done, is supplemented by a separate course in mental
arithmetic, where in addition to skill and facility in work, power of
concentrated attention and continued retention are the ends sought.
PAGE THIRTY-SEVEN
THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
Students frequently attest the value of this work in increased efhcienty 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.
ALGEBRA
In algebra the student is led inductively to enlarged and differ
ent number concepts, and to understand and interpret the underlymg principles and to apply them intelligently. Algebra and
arithmetic are closely correlated. This course seeks to make easy
arid 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 completed in one year. For the ben
efit of those who have not had this amount of preparatory work
classes for beginners are provided.
I LjALiL
cic.uivii:,iKr
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 in
itiative are developed by original exercises. Believing that the
power to attack and solve original exercises is the true test of one’s
PAGE thirty-eight

-Kapper
geometric ability, it has been and will be the plan of the teachers
to make extensive use of such exercises, choosing 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 pro
cedure.
SOLID GEOMETRY
The work in solid geometry covers half the third year and
follows the same lines as indicated in plane geometry. In teaching
PAGE THIRTY-NINE
i:
THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
the subject a happy medium is sought between non-use of mathe
matical solids and excessive use of the same, thus stimulating but
not demoralizing the student’s power to form geometric concepts.
Locus problems are emphasized in both plane and solid geometry.
TRIGONOMETRY
One hall 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 prindpal formulas, solution of trigonometric equations, theory and use of
logarithms, and the solution of right and oblique triangles with
practical applications.

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH
MR. LA BOUNTY AND MISS SWENARTON, MISS HAUSER, MISS SULLIVAN
The aim of the department of English is to develop skill in
clean and strong English for everyday life. While courses are
given in the claissics 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 phsises is studied. The
course deals with the mflectionsJ 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.
Whitney’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

Theory and practice axe united. One term is devoted 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 ar
rangement of sentence elements. For a portion of the year, diary
writing is followed with interest; this assures constant exercise,
which is most importamt.
THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
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 requirements
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 Painter’s "American
Literature."
SENIOR YEAR
A. A rapid review of grammar, with chief emphasis 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.
B. In the spring term a course is given in methods in gram
mar. The history of the subject b considered. A general ac
quaintance with various texts is expected. Theories of classroom
presentation of the subject are discussed. Individual members of
the class are required to present plams for typical recitations.
C. Public speaking is given in the senior year under the diPAGE rORTY-THRra
]
THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
rection of the instructor in oratory. The various forms of public
address Me analyzed. Original work is required. Each student
makes one public appearance in the course of the year.
ETHICS
Peabody’s "Moral Philosophy" forms the outline for daissroom work in ethics. The hiflory of the subjedt is briefly con
sidered. A general survey of the various systems of ethics is
made. By far the larger part of the work is given to the discus
sion of everyday problems of human conduct. These discussions
and debates Me 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 various figures of
syllogism, detection of fallacies, exercises in deductive and induc
tive reasoning, is the general content of the course. The text of
Jevon and Hill is used.

DEPARTMENT OF SCIENCE
HR. SNYDER AND HR. BAKER, HISS HAM
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 current articles on new inventions.
The new physiceil laboratory is fully equipped for thirty individual
experiments 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 vrrltten report on twenty-five exper
iments, and is encouraged to perform more for which due credit is
given. A small laboratory 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 universe. 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 the types, and special attention is given
to the habits, food, chief characteristics, and reproduction of the
PAGE FOETY-FIVE

branch that each type introduces. The economic importance of
each branch is given great prominence, and ivays and means for
exterminating the haurmful, and increasing the beneficial 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 su
preme in the animal kingdom.
CHEMISTRY
Chemistry is required in the fourth year of the new course.
PAGE PORTY-SCX
THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
forty weeks, five class hours a week. Three class hours are 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 twenty-five
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 connection with the text.
Andrews’ text is used to outline the work, and a careful study of
the methods of reproduction, growth, and ecology of plants is
made. The economic importance of food plants is discussed, and
the best methods for their cultivation are considered. Circulars
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 exterminate the species, not more than
fifteen specimens that illustrate family characteristics are required.
An effort is made to arouse an interest in agriculture and horticul
ture, and to that end the school garden and its alms are consid
ered. Actual practice in planting, feeding, and cultivating is car
ried on as far as time permits.

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC
MK. GLEASON, HISS THOMAS
The courses of fludy offered in this department are voice,
piano, public school music (supervisor's course), and theory
of music.
The length of a full course depends upon the ability and
the previous training of pupils.
A high ^andsud of excellence
is mauntained, and thorough examinations are given.
VOCAL MUSIC
Before taking lessons in vocal culture, ^udents should be more
or less proficient in reading music.
The method of development
involves the ^udy of breath control, tone-formation, and sight read
ing.
One year is given to the Study of harmony, Emery’s "Ele
ments of Harmony" being the text book.
PUBLIC SCHOOL MUSIC
This is the supervisor’s course, and includes the Study of
music fundamentals and sight singing, a course of Study for ele
mentary schools, and methods of presentation, observation and
pracflice teaching, harmony, history of music, appreciation, chorus
conducing, and voice, particularly the child’s voice.
Students entering upon this course muSt have adaptation for
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 class.
This class is in^lrudled 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 instruc
tion in intervals, and elementary harmony, a grading of problems,
methods of presentation, and pra<5tice 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.
MUSIC FOR CULTURE
Part of the chapel period each day is given over to a drill
in song and chorus work by the entire school body. Incidental
talks are given at this time for the purpose of creating a desire and
appreciation for the better things in musical literature.
A choral club and an orchestra are maintained, and are open
to those who can and desire to participate. These are not main
tained SIS much for public performances as for advancing a knowl
edge and appreciation of the standard oratorios smd cantatas.

DEPARTMENT OF ORATORY
MISS HAUSER
It is the aim of this department to develop speakers whose
style shall be simple and natural, emd, when occasion requires,
forceful. The individuality of the pupil is of the first importance.
The speaker is educated, not fashioned aiter a certain model.
The pupil is not expected to be the imitator of the teacher.
After general preparation, there is the required study of as
many literary masterpieces, great poems, and orations, as time will
permit.
VOICE CULTURE

impulse of thought, will, and psission. First, it is the purpose to
find the true voice, and then develop it, that it may, in the most
natural and forcible manner, convey the thoughts of the speaker
to the audience.
Special attention is given to conect breathing, articulation,
range of pitch, defects of speech, cause and cure.
BODILY EXPRESSION
The method of teaching gesture aims to produce spontaneous
and subtile bodily expression. It makes for the development of
harmony, for the suppression of superfluous gesture, and the
furtherance of a closer adjustment of form to content.
LIFE STUDY AND IMPERSONATION
The study and portraysJ of living chauracters and the imper
sonation of characters famous in literature, is emphasized. This
work has been found to cultivate the perceptive faculties and to
encourage the timid student to bring variety into all his rendering.
It breaks up mannerisms and develops unsuspected talent in ex

HISTORY
MR. SACKETT, MISS SWENARTON, MISS SULLIVAN
TTiough the study of history in secondary schools must in
clude 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 m human progress. It tends
to exclude what is merely dramatic and interesting for what is
significant and illuminating. The skill to make a selection 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 exdusion 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 atmosphere. Second
ary sources of history are eJso drawn upon to broaden the con
ception of the student. The school is gradually adding to its
equipment the best helps in history.

CIVICS
MR. rOSTKR
The aim of the course in civics is to give the students a prac
tical working knowledge of American political institutions. 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

think for themselves about political questions.

MR. BARNES
The first year is devoted to the acquirement of a correct pro
nunciation, 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 composition is af
forded, and there is opportunity for conversation. 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 "Sams Famille," Erckmamn Chatrian’s "Madame Therese,"
Sand's "La Meue au Dlable," and stories of this type. That of
the second year from the following: Daudet’s ”La Belle
Nivemaise," Merimee’s "Colomba," Hugo’s "Les Miserables" (se
lections), Zola’s "La Debacle," etc.

GERMAN
MISS ROBERTS
The courses in German are primarly general culture courses,
leading the student to a deeper interest in a life and a language dif
fering from his own. Aside from the prescribed course, the in
structor gives numerous short talks upon the legends, life, and cus
toms 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.

GEOGRAPHY
HISS HAH
A thorough review on geography is given in the junior year.
The course covers one term, five class hours a week.
In the last few years geography has assumed new importance
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 particuleu:
fact bear upon the life of man. The work consists of the study
of eruth facts in the light of their influence on human history.
PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY
Physical geography has long been recognized as the best in
troductory subjedl 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 phenomenonology. The course is pri
marily a thought course. The aim is not so much to impart in
formation as to lead students to inquire into and think about the
physical facts and phenomena with which they come into daily
contadl.
The course is confined largely to the study of earth forms and
conditions. But it muS: 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, preparation of
papers on sissigned subjects, and field work. The region eu'ound
Edinboro is rich in glacial markings, and furnishes much interesting
matter for field work.

DEPARTMENT OF ART
MISS POWELL AND MISS BLYSTONE
The lime is near at hand when a knowledge of drawing
will be required of every public school teacher. It is a vaJuable
aid in nearly every department of school work.
The supervisors’ course in drawing is one especiaJly adapted
to school work. It requires two years for its completion. Stu
dents 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, 2uid per
spective drawing, exercises in ink and brush work, water color
painting, theory of design, constructive drawing, theory of color,
blackboard drawing, history of art, methods of drawing, psychol
ogy of the content, grammar and technique of drawing.
In the second year, constructive drawing, clay modeling,
water color painting, geometrical drawing, raffia work, basketry,
sewing, theory of design, time sketches in pencil and charcoaJ,
psychology of form, its place in education, graded illustrative
work, details of supervision, and training in model school, aie parts
af the work.
ADVANCED WORK IN ART
Advanced students can take private lessons in oil, water
color and china priinting, 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 agri
culture. Domestic science or manual training is required one term
each in the freshman and senior years.
The educational vaJue of these manusJ arts Is two-fold: first,
it brings pupils into contact with the nature and sources of the ma
terials of industrial life; and, second, it introduces motive into
school work. Both of these values sue 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 suls, 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.
BOOKKEEPING
HISS HAH
Double entry bookkeeping is taught five periods the week for
one term. The work is made practical. Pupils use the budget
system, and thus become familiar with handling, filing and
recording business papers. Each pupil acts as accountant for
a firm. The text is used as a reference, not as a foundation for
work.

DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL TRAINING
HISS AYKES
The physical baining department affords an opportunity
for all students to engage in recreative and developing exercises, 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 un
derstood, the value of properly selected physical exercises as a
meeuis of quickening sense perceptions, sbengthening the will and
developing the powers of attention are being more appreciated.
Many backward boys and girls have first been stimulated to men
tal activity through physic2J efforts. The forced attention, quick
decision, euid rapid responses called for in the gymnasium work
and games are a great aid to the development of the mental fac
ulties.
The physical baining 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, zmd 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 gynmasium suit; the
young ladies, a black flannel suit of bloomers and blouse, and gym
nasium shoes; the young men, a black jersey, and gray bousers,
and gymnasium shoes.
PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE
This course consists of text-hook study, recitations, lectures,
and demonsbations.
PAGE SIXTY
TiWiMihtniifliiwfiiiiiir
THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
A careful study is made of the euiatomical structure of the
human body; of the physiology of the neuro-muscular system; of
the physiology of metabolism, including all topics connected with
nutrition and excretion; and of the blood, circulation and respira
tion.
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 according to the Dewey classification. The library contains, also, about four thousand government
publications, not catalogued.
It is especially strong in
periodical literature, several hundred volumes being bound and
treated m 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 accessi
ble.
The library is well supplied with daily and weekly news
papers, many of which are sent by the courtesy of the publishers
for the benefit of the students from their locality.

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 commonwealth.
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
the education of its young; that the loan is to
cstfh, but in two years’ teaching service, and that
besides discharging the debt, brings the one who
lends money for
be paid, not in
that service, berenders it a rea
sonable wage.
ADVANTAGES
Edinboro offers the advantages of a school atmosphere
charged with the spirit of good work, of honest thinking, 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, everyPA(X SIXTY-SEVER
THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
thing is done to better the training of those who are to undertake
the state’s most important work.
TO EDINBORO
Edinboro is reached by trolley from Erie and Crunbridge
Springs. Cars leave Erie on the half hour, and Cambridge
Springs five minutes after the hour, stopping in front of the school
campus. In Erie, baggage checks should be delivered to the Erie
Transfer Company, which will transfer baggage to the depot of
the Erie Traction Company without additional cost.
AT EDINBORO
On reaching Edinboro, students should go immediately to
the principal's office in Normal Hall to register. One-half of the
term’s expenses is payable at the opening of the term, the balance
becomes due at the middle of the term. Books may be pur
chased 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. Reserva
tion should be made as early as possible. There is on file at the
office a list of all householders who have accommodations for stu
dents. 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 specially fitted rooms for those students who,
because their homes are near enough to permit a week-end visit.
PAGE SIXTY-EIGHT
THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
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 plecisant.
The school maintains a well equipped laundry. Those girls
who wish to do their own work have the privilege of using it
upon the weekly holiday.
CHURCH AND RELIGION
As a state school, religious denominationalism is barred.
There are m Edinboro four prosperous congregations which
the students are urged to join in public worship. The Presby
terians, the Adventists, the Baptists, and the Methodists are repre
sented. The Catholic boys and girls usually attend services at
Cambridge Springs. Among the students there are various re
ligious organizations that tire prosperous and effective in the stu
dents’ lives.
While the normal school senses the supreme place of religion,
it clearly recognizes that the mission of the school is to the intel
lectual side of life. It believes that in training honest and consist
ent workers it is best serving the interest of the state and the indi
vidual. The province of the church is not infringed upon.
LITERARY SOCIETIES
The Potter, the Philo, the Clionian, and the Agonian literary
societies are the centers of one phase of student interest. All four
societies are doing effective work, and enjoy a friendly rivalry.
LECTURE COURSE
In the normal lecture course an attempt is made to bring to
the students a series of public entertainments that are unusual in
PAGE SIXTY-NINE
E
THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
interest and worth. In the present year the students have heard
Strickland W. Gillilan, James W. Folk, Dr. S. Parkes Cadman,
Eldward Amherst Ott, Dr. Camden M. Cobem, and several
other public men. It is a feature of no small value to student
life.
RULES
The state law lays down a heavy course of study. The
chief rule of the in^itution is the ^ludy hour.
This means that
while recitations are in session from 7:43 a. m. to 3:30 p. m., and
from 7:00 to 10:00 p. m., all students are to devote themselves to
the work of the school. In the fulfillm«it of this law rests the
whole matter of discipline. A ^udent 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, except that
in every way possible is the best spirit of co-education fostered.
The matter of boys and girls on the srune campus is not looked
upon as a necessary evil, but as a wholesome situation for ju^ the
type of educational work that a normal school mu^ do.
PERMITS
As the school at any hour is expected to be able to locate
any ^udent who is eiurolled, it becomes necessary to require that
each student ask for a permit from the office before leaving town.
When a indent is absent from class for any cause, he muA
procure a written permit from the principal before he can resume
his school work in any class.
PAGE StVEKTT
[
THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
VISITORS
AD visitors should so time their visits sis to interfere as little as
possible with the schedule of the Students.
While any Student may be reached by telephone, all persons
sure requested to use this means of communication only when
urgent business demands.
REFUNDS
The school aifts with reason and justice in the matter of re
funds in case a Student is compelled to leave school on account of
sickness or other necessity.
THE ALUMNI REGISTER
An alumni register is in process of compDation. It wiD be
ready for delivery in the early part of the coming school year.
HIGH SCHOOL CREDITS
The matter of high school credits may be settled by consult
ing the conditions of admission under courses of Study on page
twenty of this catalogue.
DIPLOMAS
Ccindidates for graduation are examined by the state board
of exciminers in the branches of the senior year. 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 pubhc
schools of Pennsylvania without further examination.
Any graduate of this school who has continued his studies
for two years, auid has taught two full annual terms in the com
mon schools of the state, is entitled to a second diploma. These
PAGE SEVENTY-ONE
]
THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
second diplomas are permanent certificates of the highest grade.
The holder is permitted to teach in the public schools of Penn
sylvania without further examination.
To secure a second diploma the applicant must present to the
faculty and to the state board of examiners a certificate testifying
to his good moral charadler amd skill in the art of teaching, signed
by the board or boards of diredlors by whom he was employed,
and countersigned by the superintendent of the county in which
he has taught. Blank applications may be obtained at the office
of the principal.

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
LOCATION
pr dinboro is a prosperous country village in the heart of the rich
agricultural district of Northwestern 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 sedlion 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 syftems of the Middle West and at the
same time enjoys a pleaisant remoteness, a slight seclusion, that is
thoroughly consistent with good ^udent work.
THE VILLAGE
"^he village is progressive. Its influences are for good. It has
an old amd well established citizenship. It was founded in
1 796 by sturdy New England stock whose mark is readily traced
in the community today. The village bears the inevitable stamp
of the school town; it has been known as a place of learning for
many years.
THE LAKE
Edinboro lies just north of the village. Exactly what part
it has played in the last fifty years in the spirit amd tradition of
the school would be hard to estimate. It is a charming sheet of
fredi water, the second larged lake in the State, and calls visitors
PAOE EIGHT

!
LAKE EDINBORO
THE EBINBORO STATE MOKNAI. SCHOOL
from many miles around. It affords a reitful field for recreation
with its boating, bathing, and fishing.
THE SCHOOL
"^he early e^ablishment of an academy in 1857 was a mani
festation of the pioneer spirit that charadlerized all eariy
American life. Somebody has said that our pioneers sJways built
a church at one end of their town and a school at the other.
In
such spirit was the academy founded in 185 7.
It became the
Eldinboro State Normal School in 1861. For fifty-one years it
hsis held a high place in the educational life of its particuleu distri from one end of the land to the other.
PURPOSE
TKe 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 DUlricft, 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
training, but also a training along broad and cultural lines that muSl
be the basis of all effedlive 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 mu^l be people trained
not only in mathematics but in manhood, not only in literature but
in life. The fadl that the mass of the older alumni of the school
are engaged in all the varied fields of life is but proof of the effici
ency of the normal school.
Broadly speaking, therefore, there are two aims in the pur
pose of the Edinboro State Normal School; to send its graduate
PAGE TEM
THE EBINBOltO STATE NOKNAL SCHOOL
out with a confidence bom of a thorough knowledge of method
and of matter; and in the second place, to imbue him with the
spirit of the true teacher—the teacher who cem thrill his pupils
with glimpses of new horizons and broader visions.
THE FACULTY
por the accomplishment of this chief aim of the school, the
Board of Trustees maintains a faculty that are not only
leaders in their various departments, but are also able demonstra
tors of method. They me men of wide trmning in American col
leges and universities, and above all are men whose hearts are in
their work. While there is a special department devoted to the
technical phases of method, each class is a pracftical laboratory of
demon^ration.
THE STUDENTS
^^fter a visitor has seen the recitation rooms, the library, and the
dormitories, after he has interviewed the faculty and the
trustees, he will not be said to know the school unless he sees
the students themselves. In inviting the young men and the young
women of the Twelfth Normal School Di^lria to join the students
at Edinboro, the authorities feel that in the earnest company of
indents is the chief lure.
When all is said, it is on the indents
that the real worth of the school muSl re^l; and in the Edinboro
State Normal School there is, by the common consent of all who
know, a splendid body of indents..
"STUDENT INTERESTS"
<*^tudent interests" is a name that has arisen in the laA genera
tion to describe the phases of indent arftivities that are not
especially directed by the faculty. It embraces all forms of ath
PACE ELEVB(
THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
letics, dreunatic intere^, and Audent publications.
In all these
branches the Audents at the Edinboro State Normal School main
tain vigorous and healthful a(5livities.
The gymnasium and athlet
ic teams are intended to benefit the entire body of students; the

dramatic and publication fields are open to those who have par
ticular intere^ in these departments.
In this group muit also be placed the band, the literary soci
eties, the Young Women’s Christian Association, and the Young
Men’s Christiem Association. All of these organizations are well
supported and add much to the school life.
DISCIPLINE
'J’he institution is maintained for the students. Only such regula
tions are made as tend to serve the welfare of its patrons.
Discipline is as nearly voluntary
possible.
Students are ex
pected to conduct themselves as would be fitting for those enter
ing one of the noblest vocations of men.
LIVING
Jt h« been said that he is a wise man who knows how to rest
wisely. In Reeder and Haven Halls the boys and girls at Ed-'
boro have the advantages d a home atmosphere, and of assoaation with cultured men and women. The authc^rities endeavor to
maint^un during study hours the best possible conditions for study;
outside of study hours, they endeavor just as earnestly to maintain
an atmosphere of happy contentment, in surroundings that are
inspiring and uplifting. The "weekly sing," just after supper on
Thursday night, has become a feature of Edinboro life.

GROUNDS AND BU1U>INGS
’Y'he campus of the school embraces thiity-(me acres of pleeisantly situated leuid. On it may be found qiecimens of prac
tically all the native trees—many of which represent over half a
century of growth. Their care is the particular pride of certain
officers
the school; their beauty constitutes no small part of the
agreeable setting of the buddings. 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, be^es the thoroughly
modem heating plant and electric power house. In order of their
age they are:
COMMERCIAL HALL
Commercial HrJl is the originad academy building. It was
erected in 1837. It stands at the northwest comer the campus.
It is a substantial frame building which houses the book room,
two literary society halls amd a large classroom. Caure 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 physicail and chemical laboratories, the large
examination hall, a large lecture room, and vairious rooms for
supplies. While the old hall will undoubtedly make way for
a new science hrJl m the neru* future, it will be long before its
lines of happy symmetry and general air of quaintness will fade
from the minds of those who know it.

SOUTH HALL
South Hall is the last o^ the old donnitories. Built in 1860,
it was the center of school life for many generations. It has been
abandoned as a jtudent dotmkcMry since the building of die modem
hails. It is now used fw storage, and as a home for the caretak«TS of the othar haOs. Old South H^, widi its great chinmeys,
forms a picturesque badcground for the newer group of buildings.
MUSIC HALL
Well s^arated frc«n the (rther buildings. Music HaH affords
an admirable home fcnr die d^artment of music. It was built in
1862, and remodelled in 1878. It contains a pleasaid assembly
haU, practice rooms, and instructors’ studios.
NORMAL HALL
Normal HaH was built in 1875. In 1891 it was greatly
enlarged. It contains the chapel, the library, the model school,
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. The model school has ten classrooms besides a large
assembly hall.
RECITATION HALL
Recitation Hall is a monument to the originality trf J. A.
Cooper, founder of the normal school, who for thirty years was
the best known man in common school life of western Pennsyl
vania. It has six pleasant recitation rooms. All the rooms on
the first floor open out of doors so that it is impossible for a student
to P21SS from one class to another without going into the fresh air.
It was built in 1880.

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
HAVEN HALL
In 1903 a modem dormitory for the young women was
constructed. It is a four story structure of substantial quality.
Steam heat and electric light render the hall very comfortable.
Its direction and care both rum to make it a real home for the
young women. The dining hall, for both boys and girls, occupies
the first, or basement floor. It wars built in 1903.
THE GYMNASIUM
The Gymnasium, built in 1906, is a thoroughly modem and
practical building, with excellent equiprnent 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, ais 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 proposed
by The Carnegie Foundation.
"A unit" represents a year’s study in any subject in a secondeiry school constituting approximately a quarter of a fiJl year’s
work.
This statement is designed to afford a standard of measure
ment for the work done in a secondary school. It takes the fouryear high school course as a baisis, and assumes that the length of
the school year is from thirty-six to forty weeks, that a period is
from forty to sixty minutes in length, and that the study is pursued
PAGE SEVENTEEN
m
THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
for four or five periods a week; but under ordinary circumstances
a satisfactory year’s work in any subject cannot be accomplished
in less than one hundred and twenty sixty-minute hours or their
equivalent. Schools organized on a different basis can neverthe
less estimate their work in terms of this unit.
Students admitted to the first year shall have a fair knowl
edge of auithmetic, reading, orthography, penmanship. United
States history, geography, grammar, physiology, civics, and
the elements of algebra to quadratics.

DEPARTMENT OF PEDAGOGY
(Theory and Practice of Teaching)
MR. WALK, MISS STURGEON
The prime purposes of this department are:
I. To give the student a clear insight into the character
of the fundamental problems of modem educationaJ
principle and practice. Special stress is Isud on the
value of the vsurious subjects of the school curriculum
gauged in terms of their ability to satisfy real needs
or 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 constitute
the ground-work for all professional theory and
method worthy of the name, viz.:
1. General and Special Methods.
~
RAGE TWENTY-NINE
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.
3. Written and oral reports on these observations.

THE EDINBORO STATE NORHAL SCHOOL
THEORY AND METHODS OF TEACHING
1. General and Special Methods.
The work in general methods supplements instruction
in special methods, and relates to the fundamenteJ
problems of school organization and management.
Courses in special methods have to do with the proper
presentation of subject 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 pro
gressive tendencies of the times.
Great emphasis 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.

Seeley; White.
II. Psychology.
Instruction in psychology is designed to fulfill three dis
tinct and indispensable aims:
PAGE THIRTY
c
THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
A. To give the student, by means of class discussion
and experimenteJ work, a clear understanding of
the great principles underlying mental activity in
general.
B. To examine these principles with speciaJ reference
to their bearing upon the study of the child
mind.
C. To apply these mental laws as directly and emphat
ically as possible to the art of teaching, as inter
preted in the light of modem educational theory.
Suggested texts: "Briefer Course," James; Betts; Bald
win; Thomdyke; "Psychology in the School
room," Dexter and Garlick.
111. The History of Education.
The chief purpose of this study is to establish an
understanding of present educational ideals, practices,
tendencies, and problems. This is accomplished
A. By an interpretation of educational traditions, and
an explanation of their relationship to modem
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 extreme in either
theory or practice.
C. By assisting the student to formulate ideals or stand
ards of action that will guide his instruction in the
concrete work of the classroom.

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
PRACTICE OF TEACHING
The practice of teaching in all its phases is perfonned in di
rect 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. In
struction in music, drawing, penmanship, physical training and
German is supervised directly by the several members of the fac
ulty who teach those subjects 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 adminis
tration and supervision the interests of both pupils and student
teachers are promoted without detriment to either one or the
other of these two clsisses. Most emphatically this model-practice
school is not a mere laboratory for experimentation. Rather is it
a place where pupils get thorough instruction under supervision of
specialists, and where teachers lest, through application to the
problems of school-room routine, the value of theory previously re
ceived.
A. Observation.
Observation is based on three syllabi, entitled re
spectively conditions for work, the class, and the
teacher. From these syllabi certain items are assigned
PAGE THIRTY-TWO
i
[
THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
for each week’s work. Weekly meetings are held, and
written reports, summarizing in concise, systematic form,
the record of the week’s observation, me submitted,
read, and analyzed. The subject matter from which
assignments 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 re
quired to retain a permanent file of his reports for ref
erence use in teaching.
Reports of the observers are analyzed also at the reg
ular recitations of the normal school classes in methods.
Members of the senior class who are doing practice
teaching thus profit by criticism or commendation put in
direct, specific form. No pains are spared to relate the
results of observation immediately and vitally to class
room instruction.
B. Student Teaching.
Each senior student m the normal school is required
to do one hour of teaching or observation daily through
out the entire yeen.
Students designated for teaching are assigned to their
respective grades and subjects with as much care as
possible. Regard is had for academic qualifications
and previous experience, and these, together with per
sonality, cire made the basis for assignments.
One of the features making most strongly for co-ordi
nation in teaching activities is that of the lesson plan. At
the beginning of each week every student teacher is re
quired to submit a progrcun embodying a definite
PAG* THIRTY-THRBS
«

THE EDINBORO STATE NORHAL SCHOOL
scheme for each day’s instruction, and covering the fol
lowing points: (1) 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 plan is a prerequisite to
the week s work. Each teacher is thus required to
systematize his instruction, and the drill he obtains
thereby is an invaluable pedagogical discipline. Be
sides 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.

DEPARTMENT OF LATIN
MR. BARNES AND MR, SACKETT, MR. GLEASON, MISS SWENARTON
From the beginning accuracy in pronunciation and in knowl
edge of inflectional forms is rigidly required. The work of the
entire first year is designed to render the student sufficiently fa
miliar with accidence and elementary 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 statement is definitely insisted upon.
The prescribed reading in Caesar. Cicero, and Mergil 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 wnters, are read in addition, and an attempt is made
to develope an intelligent appreciation of the significance of litera
ture and to aid the student in forming correct conceptions of lit
erary culture. TTie 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 construc
tion, idiom and airangement. Translation is required more as a
test of accuracy in this than as an end in itself. Versification and
formal grammar 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, per
haps, to the stimulation of interest in the subject and to the en
couragement of independent investigation.

THE EDIHBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS
MK. SIDDELL AND MK. SACKETT, MR. FOSTEJt, MISS EMERY
A study of the cause for just complaint on the part of teach
ers of advanced mathematics leads one to believe that the trouble
is directly traceable to poor work in elementary mathematics. Ac
cordingly the aim here is to develop strength of work in both
mentzJ and written arithmetic, in algebra and in geometry. If a
strong foundation is laid in these branches, the advanced courses
in mathematics in normal school, college, or technicd school will
not present insurmountable difficulties to the student, nor will
county and state examiners of prospective teachers find indications
of lamentable weakness in these subjects. To this end, thorough
ness in all work is the watchword. An attempt to "humanize"
the vairious 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. Tire aim is to develop accuracy, facflity, and rapidity of
work, both oral and written. Clearness and conciseness of ex
planation 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 sJso done, is supplemented by a separate course in mental
arithmetic, where in addition to skill and facility in work, power of
concentrated attention and continued retention are the ends sought.
PAGE THIRTY-SEVEN
THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
Students frequently attest the value of this work in increased efhcienty 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.
ALGEBRA
In algebra the student is led inductively to enlarged and differ
ent number concepts, and to understand and interpret the underlymg principles and to apply them intelligently. Algebra and
arithmetic are closely correlated. This course seeks to make easy
arid 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 completed in one year. For the ben
efit of those who have not had this amount of preparatory work
classes for beginners are provided.
I LjALiL
cic.uivii:,iKr
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 in
itiative are developed by original exercises. Believing that the
power to attack and solve original exercises is the true test of one’s
PAGE thirty-eight
AN ICE STORM
-Kapper
geometric ability, it has been and will be the plan of the teachers
to make extensive use of such exercises, choosing 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 pro
cedure.
SOLID GEOMETRY
The work in solid geometry covers half the third year and
follows the same lines as indicated in plane geometry. In teaching
PAGE THIRTY-NINE
i:
THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
the subject a happy medium is sought between non-use of mathe
matical solids and excessive use of the same, thus stimulating but
not demoralizing the student’s power to form geometric concepts.
Locus problems are emphasized in both plane and solid geometry.
TRIGONOMETRY
One hall 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 prindpal formulas, solution of trigonometric equations, theory and use of
logarithms, and the solution of right and oblique triangles with
practical applications.

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH
MR. LA BOUNTY AND MISS SWENARTON, MISS HAUSER, MISS SULLIVAN
The aim of the department of English is to develop skill in
clean and strong English for everyday life. While courses are
given in the claissics 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 phsises is studied. The
course deals with the mflectionsJ 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.
Whitney’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.

Theory and practice axe united. One term is devoted 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 ar
rangement of sentence elements. For a portion of the year, diary
writing is followed with interest; this assures constant exercise,
which is most importamt.
THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
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 requirements
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 Painter’s "American
Literature."
SENIOR YEAR
A. A rapid review of grammar, with chief emphasis 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.
B. In the spring term a course is given in methods in gram
mar. The history of the subject b considered. A general ac
quaintance with various texts is expected. Theories of classroom
presentation of the subject are discussed. Individual members of
the class are required to present plams for typical recitations.
C. Public speaking is given in the senior year under the diPAGE rORTY-THRra
]
THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
rection of the instructor in oratory. The various forms of public
address Me analyzed. Original work is required. Each student
makes one public appearance in the course of the year.
ETHICS
Peabody’s "Moral Philosophy" forms the outline for daissroom work in ethics. The hiflory of the subjedt is briefly con
sidered. A general survey of the various systems of ethics is
made. By far the larger part of the work is given to the discus
sion of everyday problems of human conduct. These discussions
and debates Me 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 various figures of
syllogism, detection of fallacies, exercises in deductive and induc
tive reasoning, is the general content of the course. The text of
Jevon and Hill is used.

DEPARTMENT OF SCIENCE
HR. SNYDER AND HR. BAKER, HISS HAM
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 current articles on new inventions.
The new physiceil laboratory is fully equipped for thirty individual
experiments 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 vrrltten report on twenty-five exper
iments, and is encouraged to perform more for which due credit is
given. A small laboratory 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 universe. 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 the types, and special attention is given
to the habits, food, chief characteristics, and reproduction of the
PAGE FOETY-FIVE

branch that each type introduces. The economic importance of
each branch is given great prominence, and ivays and means for
exterminating the haurmful, and increasing the beneficial 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 su
preme in the animal kingdom.
CHEMISTRY
Chemistry is required in the fourth year of the new course.
PAGE PORTY-SCX
THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
forty weeks, five class hours a week. Three class hours are 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 twenty-five
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 connection with the text.
Andrews’ text is used to outline the work, and a careful study of
the methods of reproduction, growth, and ecology of plants is
made. The economic importance of food plants is discussed, and
the best methods for their cultivation are considered. Circulars
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 exterminate the species, not more than
fifteen specimens that illustrate family characteristics are required.
An effort is made to arouse an interest in agriculture and horticul
ture, and to that end the school garden and its alms are consid
ered. Actual practice in planting, feeding, and cultivating is car
ried on as far as time permits.

DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC
MK. GLEASON, HISS THOMAS
The courses of fludy offered in this department are voice,
piano, public school music (supervisor's course), and theory
of music.
The length of a full course depends upon the ability and
the previous training of pupils.
A high ^andsud of excellence
is mauntained, and thorough examinations are given.
VOCAL MUSIC
Before taking lessons in vocal culture, ^udents should be more
or less proficient in reading music.
The method of development
involves the ^udy of breath control, tone-formation, and sight read
ing.
One year is given to the Study of harmony, Emery’s "Ele
ments of Harmony" being the text book.
PUBLIC SCHOOL MUSIC
This is the supervisor’s course, and includes the Study of
music fundamentals and sight singing, a course of Study for ele
mentary schools, and methods of presentation, observation and
pracflice teaching, harmony, history of music, appreciation, chorus
conducing, and voice, particularly the child’s voice.
Students entering upon this course muSt have adaptation for
this kind of work.
There is a demand for well trained supervisors of public
school music. The course is planned to meet this demand.

This class is in^lrudled 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 instruc
tion in intervals, and elementary harmony, a grading of problems,
methods of presentation, and pra<5tice 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.
MUSIC FOR CULTURE
Part of the chapel period each day is given over to a drill
in song and chorus work by the entire school body. Incidental
talks are given at this time for the purpose of creating a desire and
appreciation for the better things in musical literature.
A choral club and an orchestra are maintained, and are open
to those who can and desire to participate. These are not main
tained SIS much for public performances as for advancing a knowl
edge and appreciation of the standard oratorios smd cantatas.

forceful. The individuality of the pupil is of the first importance.
The speaker is educated, not fashioned aiter a certain model.
The pupil is not expected to be the imitator of the teacher.
After general preparation, there is the required study of as
many literary masterpieces, great poems, and orations, as time will

impulse of thought, will, and psission. First, it is the purpose to
find the true voice, and then develop it, that it may, in the most
natural and forcible manner, convey the thoughts of the speaker
to the audience.
Special attention is given to conect breathing, articulation,
range of pitch, defects of speech, cause and cure.
BODILY EXPRESSION
The method of teaching gesture aims to produce spontaneous
and subtile bodily expression. It makes for the development of
harmony, for the suppression of superfluous gesture, and the
furtherance of a closer adjustment of form to content.
LIFE STUDY AND IMPERSONATION
The study and portraysJ of living chauracters and the imper
sonation of characters famous in literature, is emphasized. This
work has been found to cultivate the perceptive faculties and to
encourage the timid student to bring variety into all his rendering.
It breaks up mannerisms and develops unsuspected talent in ex

HISTORY
MR. SACKETT, MISS SWENARTON, MISS SULLIVAN
TTiough the study of history in secondary schools must in
clude 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 m human progress. It tends
to exclude what is merely dramatic and interesting for what is
significant and illuminating. The skill to make a selection 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 exdusion 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 atmosphere. Second
ary sources of history are eJso drawn upon to broaden the con
ception of the student. The school is gradually adding to its
equipment the best helps in history.

MR. BARNES
The first year is devoted to the acquirement of a correct pro

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 composition is af
forded, and there is opportunity for conversation. 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,"

GEOGRAPHY
HISS HAH
A thorough review on geography is given in the junior year.
The course covers one term, five class hours a week.
In the last few years geography has assumed new importance
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 particuleu:
fact bear upon the life of man. The work consists of the study
of eruth facts in the light of their influence on human history.
PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY
Physical geography has long been recognized as the best in
troductory subjedl 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 phenomenonology. The course is pri
marily a thought course. The aim is not so much to impart in
formation as to lead students to inquire into and think about the
physical facts and phenomena with which they come into daily
contadl.
The course is confined largely to the study of earth forms and
conditions. But it muS: 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, preparation of
papers on sissigned subjects, and field work. The region eu'ound
Edinboro is rich in glacial markings, and furnishes much interesting
matter for field work.

DEPARTMENT OF ART
MISS POWELL AND MISS BLYSTONE
The lime is near at hand when a knowledge of drawing
will be required of every public school teacher. It is a vaJuable
aid in nearly every department of school work.
The supervisors’ course in drawing is one especiaJly adapted
to school work. It requires two years for its completion. Stu
dents 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, 2uid per
spective drawing, exercises in ink and brush work, water color
painting, theory of design, constructive drawing, theory of color,
blackboard drawing, history of art, methods of drawing, psychol
ogy of the content, grammar and technique of drawing.
In the second year, constructive drawing, clay modeling,
water color painting, geometrical drawing, raffia work, basketry,
sewing, theory of design, time sketches in pencil and charcoaJ,
psychology of form, its place in education, graded illustrative
work, details of supervision, and training in model school, aie parts
af the work.
ADVANCED WORK IN ART
Advanced students can take private lessons in oil, water
color and china priinting, 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 agri
culture. Domestic science or manual training is required one term
each in the freshman and senior years.
The educational vaJue of these manusJ arts Is two-fold: first,
it brings pupils into contact with the nature and sources of the ma
terials of industrial life; and, second, it introduces motive into
school work. Both of these values sue 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 suls, 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.
BOOKKEEPING
HISS HAH
Double entry bookkeeping is taught five periods the week for
one term. The work is made practical. Pupils use the budget
system, and thus become familiar with handling, filing and
recording business papers. Each pupil acts as accountant for
a firm. The text is used as a reference, not as a foundation for
work.

DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL TRAINING
HISS AYKES
The physical baining department affords an opportunity
for all students to engage in recreative and developing exercises, 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 un
derstood, the value of properly selected physical exercises as a
meeuis of quickening sense perceptions, sbengthening the will and
developing the powers of attention are being more appreciated.
Many backward boys and girls have first been stimulated to men
tal activity through physic2J efforts. The forced attention, quick
decision, euid rapid responses called for in the gymnasium work
and games are a great aid to the development of the mental fac
ulties.
The physical baining 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, zmd 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 gynmasium suit; the
young ladies, a black flannel suit of bloomers and blouse, and gym
nasium shoes; the young men, a black jersey, and gray bousers,
and gymnasium shoes.
PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE
This course consists of text-hook study, recitations, lectures,
and demonsbations.
PAGE SIXTY
TiWiMihtniifliiwfiiiiiir
THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
A careful study is made of the euiatomical structure of the
human body; of the physiology of the neuro-muscular system; of
the physiology of metabolism, including all topics connected with
nutrition and excretion; and of the blood, circulation and respira
tion.
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 according to the Dewey classification. The library contains, also, about four thousand government
publications, not catalogued.
It is especially strong in
periodical literature, several hundred volumes being bound and
treated m 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 accessi
ble.
The library is well supplied with daily and weekly news
papers, many of which are sent by the courtesy of the publishers
for the benefit of the students from their locality.

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 commonwealth.
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
the education of its young; that the loan is to
cstfh, but in two years’ teaching service, and that
besides discharging the debt, brings the one who
lends money for
be paid, not in
that service, berenders it a rea
sonable wage.
ADVANTAGES
Edinboro offers the advantages of a school atmosphere
charged with the spirit of good work, of honest thinking, 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, everyPA(X SIXTY-SEVER
THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
thing is done to better the training of those who are to undertake
the state’s most important work.
TO EDINBORO
Edinboro is reached by trolley from Erie and Crunbridge
Springs. Cars leave Erie on the half hour, and Cambridge
Springs five minutes after the hour, stopping in front of the school
campus. In Erie, baggage checks should be delivered to the Erie
Transfer Company, which will transfer baggage to the depot of
the Erie Traction Company without additional cost.
AT EDINBORO
On reaching Edinboro, students should go immediately to
the principal's office in Normal Hall to register. One-half of the
term’s expenses is payable at the opening of the term, the balance
becomes due at the middle of the term. Books may be pur
chased 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. Reserva
tion should be made as early as possible. There is on file at the
office a list of all householders who have accommodations for stu
dents. 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 specially fitted rooms for those students who,
because their homes are near enough to permit a week-end visit.
PAGE SIXTY-EIGHT
THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
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 plecisant.
The school maintains a well equipped laundry. Those girls
who wish to do their own work have the privilege of using it
upon the weekly holiday.
CHURCH AND RELIGION
As a state school, religious denominationalism is barred.
There are m Edinboro four prosperous congregations which
the students are urged to join in public worship. The Presby
terians, the Adventists, the Baptists, and the Methodists are repre
sented. The Catholic boys and girls usually attend services at
Cambridge Springs. Among the students there are various re
ligious organizations that tire prosperous and effective in the stu
dents’ lives.
While the normal school senses the supreme place of religion,
it clearly recognizes that the mission of the school is to the intel
lectual side of life. It believes that in training honest and consist
ent workers it is best serving the interest of the state and the indi
vidual. The province of the church is not infringed upon.
LITERARY SOCIETIES
The Potter, the Philo, the Clionian, and the Agonian literary
societies are the centers of one phase of student interest. All four
societies are doing effective work, and enjoy a friendly rivalry.
LECTURE COURSE
In the normal lecture course an attempt is made to bring to
the students a series of public entertainments that are unusual in
PAGE SIXTY-NINE
E
THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
interest and worth. In the present year the students have heard
Strickland W. Gillilan, James W. Folk, Dr. S. Parkes Cadman,
Eldward Amherst Ott, Dr. Camden M. Cobem, and several
other public men. It is a feature of no small value to student
life.
RULES
The state law lays down a heavy course of study. The
chief rule of the in^itution is the ^ludy hour.
This means that
while recitations are in session from 7:43 a. m. to 3:30 p. m., and
from 7:00 to 10:00 p. m., all students are to devote themselves to
the work of the school. In the fulfillm«it of this law rests the
whole matter of discipline. A ^udent 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, except that
in every way possible is the best spirit of co-education fostered.
The matter of boys and girls on the srune campus is not looked
upon as a necessary evil, but as a wholesome situation for ju^ the
type of educational work that a normal school mu^ do.
PERMITS
As the school at any hour is expected to be able to locate
any ^udent who is eiurolled, it becomes necessary to require that
each student ask for a permit from the office before leaving town.
When a indent is absent from class for any cause, he muA
procure a written permit from the principal before he can resume
his school work in any class.
PAGE StVEKTT
[
THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
VISITORS
AD visitors should so time their visits sis to interfere as little as
possible with the schedule of the Students.
While any Student may be reached by telephone, all persons
sure requested to use this means of communication only when
urgent business demands.
REFUNDS
The school aifts with reason and justice in the matter of re
funds in case a Student is compelled to leave school on account of
sickness or other necessity.
THE ALUMNI REGISTER
An alumni register is in process of compDation. It wiD be
ready for delivery in the early part of the coming school year.
HIGH SCHOOL CREDITS
The matter of high school credits may be settled by consult
ing the conditions of admission under courses of Study on page
twenty of this catalogue.
DIPLOMAS
Ccindidates for graduation are examined by the state board
of exciminers in the branches of the senior year. 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 pubhc
schools of Pennsylvania without further examination.
Any graduate of this school who has continued his studies
for two years, auid has taught two full annual terms in the com
mon schools of the state, is entitled to a second diploma. These
PAGE SEVENTY-ONE
]
THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
second diplomas are permanent certificates of the highest grade.
The holder is permitted to teach in the public schools of Penn
sylvania without further examination.
To secure a second diploma the applicant must present to the
faculty and to the state board of examiners a certificate testifying
to his good moral charadler amd skill in the art of teaching, signed
by the board or boards of diredlors by whom he was employed,
and countersigned by the superintendent of the county in which
he has taught. Blank applications may be obtained at the office
of the principal.
