SUMMER SCHOOL
The summer school was a success. The enrollment was three
hundred thirty-three. The school never had a more earnest, enthusi
astic group of students. The student body was composed of those
just entering the profession who had the confidence which goes with
inexperience, those who had served the Commonwealth for years as
teachers and came with that stolid determination to win, others who
had graduated from normal schools and colleges who came to get
the vision of modern education as it appears from a new horizon.
All left with us something of their inspiration and the consciousness
that the work is really worth while.

NEW FACULTY MEMBERS
Thomas A. Hillyef, A. M.
We are glad to announce to our students and alumni that Thomas
A. Hillyer, who was a member of the summer school faculty, will be
with us as head of the Department of Education when school opens in
September. Mr. Hillyer has had exceptional training for the work,
having graduated from Illinois State Normal University, has his bach
elor’s degree from the University of Chicago, his master’s degree from
THOMAS A. HII/LYER
Harvard University, and has completed all work, except his thesis,
for a doctor’s degree at Teachers College, Columbia University. Mr.
Hillyer has also served his apprenticeship in normal school work,
having been superintendent of the training department of the state
normal school, Moorehead, Minnesota, for six years; and for twelve
years president of the state normal school at Mayville, North Dakota.
L. H. Van Honteii, A. M.
Mr. Van Houten who will have charge of the Brie Branch of the
Edinboro State Normal School, received his bachelor’s degree from
Central College, Iowa; his master’s degree from the University of
Iowa, and has done graduate work in the University of Chicago. He

of teachers’ training, and director of extension for colleges. Captain
Van Houten succeeded Chief Educational Officer, Major Arthur G.
Crane, and as such was given entire administrative charge of the vo
cational and curative work among the wounded men.
Miss Celestia J. Hershey
Students who do training in the Erie city schools will be glad to
hear that Miss Celestla J. Hershey has been secured as supervisor of
student training. Miss Hershey has been connected with the Erie
city normal school since its organization in 1905. The success of her
work and the esteem of her students are the highest tributes that
can be paid a teacher.
THE ARTS AND CRAFTS DEPARTMENT OF THE NORMAL SCHOOL
Edinboro is the Normal School of Western Pennsylvania chosen
to train teachers for the special field of Arts and Crafts. In Septem
ber, 1920, there was instituted in the school a three-year course for
the training of art supervisors and teachers of arts and crafts.
Under the present ruling of the State Department of Public In
struction, art is a reulred subject in all the elementary public schools
of the state. The call for competent art instructors is and always will
be far greater than the supply. The salaries paid supervisors and spe
cial teachers of art are higher than those ordinarily paid grade teach
ers. Applicants for admission to the course must show some proficlen-

cy In drawing in addition to a first class high school education and
such other regular requirements as are necessary for entrance to a
Normal School. The field for graduates of the Arts and Crafts De
partment of the Edlnhoro State Normal School is the state.
Students of the Arts and Crafts Department will live in Reeder
or Haven Hall and enjoy all the privileges of the regular Normal stu
dents.
The new studios, which occupy an entire floor of Normal Hall and
which will he completed for the opening of the Fall semester, 1921,
are to be the finest in the state. They consist of two freehand drawing
studios, a mechanical drawing studio, a modern, well-equipped shop
for the various crafts, an instructor’s studio, and two stock rooms.
Each studio Is furnished with running water. Eight large skylights
give the best lighting possible for studio work.
WALDO F. BATES, JR.
The crafts shop will be equipped for work in cardboard con
struction, bookbinding, woodwork, metalry, weaving, and all other
forms of handwork which may find a place in public schools. A
master-knowledge of a craft will Include practical problems that can
be carried out in city or rural schools with minimum equipment.
A thorough ground work in drawing and the crafts, opportunity
for practice supervising and teaching in the Grades, Junior and Senior
High Schools, the preparation of outlines, and instruction in the
business of supervising will make the graduate of the Arts and Crafts

ist that will always be in demand for big positions.
Mr. Bates, head of the Arts and Crafts Department, has super
vised Art in Turner’s Falls and Leominster, Massachusetts, and in
Oil City, Pennsylvania, and is a former director of the School of Arts
and Crafts of Chautauqua, New York. He is a graduate of the Massa
chusetts Normal Art School and is prepared to give the best in mod
ern Art Education.
Miss Anna J. Lamphier, instructor in Handwork for the Summer
Session of 1921, is instructor in Crafts in the State Normal School at
North Adams, Massachusetts. She comes to Edinboro after teaching
ten summers at the School of Arts and Crafts of Chautauqua New
York.
The Arts and Crafts Department of the Edinboro State Normal
School has the fullest support and sanction of the State Department
of Public Instruction. Come to Edinboro and prepare to teach this,
one of the most enjoyable branches of education and one that will be
come increasingly important in the development of our Pennsylvania
schools.
VEGETABLE GARDENING
Edinboro was one of the first normals in the state to introduce
a course in gardening. The work, ever since it was begun ten years
ago, has been done after school hours and in the students’ recreation
time. The State Department has recently recognized these pioneer
efforts and appointed Edinboro as one of the three normals in the
state to offer a special course in vegetable gardening.
It is the purpose of the school to make this course complete in
every detail so that those completing the work will be qualified to
carry on commercial gardening or teach the work in any state.
The course will continue throughout the year. The indoor work
will include greenhouse practice, as soon as one is erected; cement
work in constructing bird houses and baths, garden seats and orna
mental flower pots; shop work in constructing tool racks, flats seed
carriers, marking devices, stakes and all other equipment; preparation. of contact and poison sprays and insecticides; preparation and
sterilization of soils for plant propogation; preparation of plans for
companion and succession cropping; detailed planting plan for a com
bined flower and vegetable garden one rod square; making of nets
and traps for capturing insects; a careful study of all garden insects
and pests and their control. The outdoor work will consist of actual
practice in hotbed and cold frame operation and the planting and cul
tivation of a unit garden one rod square; field practice will Include
the use of seed drills and cultivators and other labor saving devices.
The study and actual use of a Skinner system of overhead irrigation
will greatly add to the production of crops.
MISS ANNIE L. WILSON ACCEPTS POSITION IN CALIFORNIA

rian’s desk. Her decision to locate on the Pacific coast removes an
other of the old friends whom visiting alumni have for years been
glad to greet again.
In February of the present year, Miss Wilson was granted leave
of absence for the latter hall of the school year to complete her study
of the librarians’ course at Western Reserve University. On securing
her degree there, she went to California to take up her work.
There is a technical side to the work of a librarian and there is a
social side. The technical side requires a wide knowledge of books
and skill in classifying and handling them. In this feature of the
work, Miss Wilson gave good service to all who visited the Library.
The social side manifests itself in part in a gracious atmosphere of
helpfulness and sympathy, which pervades the reading room. This
phase of Miss Wilson’s work will be especially remenibered by the
many hundreds of students whom she aided, when their duties took
them to the Library.
The hearty good wishes of the wide circle of friends whom Miss
Wilson made at the Edinboro State Normal, will follow her to her
new location. And many a wandering Edinborolte, on reaching Cali
fornia, will seek her out, to pay again a personal tribute of apprecia
tion.
TRANSFER OF TRAINING
The mind has been considered by many to consist of sharply dis
tinct functions—perception, memory, reasoning, Imagination, etc.
Along with this so-called “faculty” conception of the mind has
gone the belief that training any one of these functions for any kind
of material trained it at the same time for any other kind of material.
For example, that training the memory for dates trained it at the
same time for vocabularies, that training it for the location of cities
trained it at the same time for the outline of countries, that training
it for combinations of chemical elements trained it at the same time
for the distinguishing features of plant and animal forms, etc.
Moreover, such transfer of training, according to this belief, has
been supposed to take place to a very great extent. That is .it has
been held that training any one of these functions for any kind of
material trained it at the same time in almost, if not quite, the same
degree for any other kind of material.
.
It has been this belief which has held certain subjects, especially
EDINBORO TRAINS TEACHERS
8
THE EDINBOEO QUAETERLY
the classical languages and mathematics, in such a
such subjects being regarded as providing the most valuable materials
for “formal” and “disciplinary” training of the different functions of
the mind.
The opposite belief has been held, although by no means so com
monly, that the training of mental functions is very highly specialized
and that training a function for one kind of material trains it in only
a slight degree, if at all, for any other kind of material.
These two conflicting beliefs have grown out of ordinary obser
vation and have not been based upon the results of scientific investi
gation. Such investigation, which has been carried to considerable
extept within recent years, shows beyond question that transfer of
training is a fact but that its extent is limited by the amount of likeness to each other of the situations Involved. That is, the training of
the memory for dates trains it for vocabularies only in so far as
dates and vocabularies are alike, training it for the location of cities
trains it at the same time for outlines of countries only in so far as
the two things are alike, etc.
A distinction should be made between the transfer of habit, and
that of ideals and attitudes. It is easily conceivable that when habits
acquired in one situation are not carried over to another, ideals or
attitudes may be. For example, acquiring the habit of detailed scrut
iny of a printed page, as in proof-reading, is not likely to mean ac
quiring at the same time the habit of detailed scrutiny of a pebbly
sea-shore, because the materials of the two situations are so unlike;
but the ideal of careful observation or the carefully observant atti
tude which is cultivated in the first situation may persist in the
second situation with the good result of making the desired habit
more easily formed in it.
Wha tstudents do ought to be determined upon other grounds
than the purely disciplinary; but when things which they are to do
are determined, these things should be examined for their likenesses
and those things held of most disciplinary value which are found
most often, in whole or in part, in other things that they do both in
and out of school.
Above all, important as the transfer of habits may be, that of
ideals and attitudes is much more so, because of their more nearly
universal nature and their great influence in determining the direc
tion of habit formation.
THOMAS A. HILLYER.
HEALTH EDUCATION AND ATHLETICS
The Health Education program promises many attractions for
the coming year. The fall activities will center around outdoor
sports—field hockey, tennis, hiking and swimming for the girls. For
the boys, tennis, swimming and football.
Greater interest in sports is expected this year, due to the new
system of awarding school letters. E’s will be given to all persons
earning a stated number of points according to an adopted schedule
for participation in specified activities.
During indoor season, regular gymnasium work will include
marching, tactics, free exercises, folk dancing, games, volley ball.

indoor baseball, etc. Class teams will be formed in basket ball and
match games played in order to pick material for varsity squads.
Interschool contests will be held with the five normal schools in
western Pennsylvania.
The work given in the required Health Education course, during
the summer term, was a practical presentation of public school physi
cal training, including marching, free exercises, games and folk danc
ing. Great interest was shown in elective courses, swimming, tennis,
and athletic coaching. A water carnival featured the close of the
swimming course.
NEW TRAINING FACILITIES
Training school facilities at the Edinboro State Normal School
will be undoubtedly improved under the new agreements with the
Borough of Edinboro and the City of Erie. Under the agreement
with the Borough of Edinboro, the Normal School abandons its sec
ondary department and the entire twelve grades of the Borough
schools are organized as a training school, with Miss Ada Evelyn
Jones, supervisor of training in the Normal School, as the Superin
tendent. The 6-3-3 plan of organization will be adopted, housing the
junior and senior high schools in the normal school buildings.. This
will leave ample room in the borough building for expansion of the
elementary grades. It will also give the elementary school an audi
torium and ample room for recitation and modern methods in in
struction.
The junior high school organization will give first hand experi
ence to prospective teachers in this new and fast developing depart
ment of our public schools. The junior high school will have its
separate assembly room, under its own principal, and its organization
and preparation will conform to modern practice. As our training
school is to be the size of the schools to which most of our graduates
go as teachers, this apprentice teaching at Edinboro will be extremely
valuable.
The final apprentice teaching of our seniors will probably be
given in the city school of Erie. The new agreement of the School
District of the City of Erie provides for the state maintaining an
Extension Branch of the Edinboro State Normal School in Erie, and
also offers the privilege of apprentice teaching throughout the city.
As there are over 400 teachers in the Erie school, this will afford am
ple opportunities to give each senior a final experience under full re
sponsibility for a school department. Graduates of Edinboro who have
received this final apprenticeship in the Erie schools will find it is
a decided recommendation to them in seeking positions.
IMPROVEMENT
IN
PLANT
AND
EQUIPMENT
Money appropriated by the state legislature will be sufficient to
make some much needed improvements in our buildings and equip
ment. New boilers and machinery will be installed in the heating
plant which will give better service and increased efficiency. The
Arts and Crafts studios in the third floor of Normal Hall will be
ready for occupancy in September. These are large, beautifully

lighted rooms, finished in artistic manner, and to be equipped with
furniture and apparatus of modern and approved design. With these
rooms, Mr. Bates and his assistants will be given fine opportunity to
promote the teaching of Arts and Crafts throughout western Penn
sylvania.
The junior high school is to be provided with assembly room on
the first fioor of Normal Hall. Additional windows are being in
stalled and a fine room will result. In the basement, new toilet
rooms are being provided. These will have outside lighting and ven
tilation and the best of sanitary conveniences. Fire escapes have
been remodeled on the dormitories and their exits improved. Rooms
in Haven Hall have been arranged as an infirmary. These rooms are
pleasantly located and will be a boon to any students during Illness.
CALENDAR OF OPENING DATES
First Semester begins, Monday, September IS.
Second Semester begins, Monday, January 30.
Summer Term begins, Monday, June 19.
IN APPRECIATION
We are indebted to Edinboro’s distinguished artist for the pic

through the generosity, the untiring efforts and the selective art of
Mr. Lawrence V. Kupper.

SUMMER SCHOOL
The summer school was a success. The enrollment was three
hundred thirty-three. The school never had a more earnest, enthusi
astic group of students. The student body was composed of those
just entering the profession who had the confidence which goes with
inexperience, those who had served the Commonwealth for years as
teachers and came with that stolid determination to win, others who
had graduated from normal schools and colleges who came to get
the vision of modern education as it appears from a new horizon.
All left with us something of their inspiration and the consciousness
that the work is really worth while.

NEW FACULTY MEMBERS
Thomas A. Hillyef, A. M.
We are glad to announce to our students and alumni that Thomas
A. Hillyer, who was a member of the summer school faculty, will be
with us as head of the Department of Education when school opens in
September. Mr. Hillyer has had exceptional training for the work,
having graduated from Illinois State Normal University, has his bach
elor’s degree from the University of Chicago, his master’s degree from
THOMAS A. HII/LYER
Harvard University, and has completed all work, except his thesis,
for a doctor’s degree at Teachers College, Columbia University. Mr.
Hillyer has also served his apprenticeship in normal school work,
having been superintendent of the training department of the state
normal school, Moorehead, Minnesota, for six years; and for twelve
years president of the state normal school at Mayville, North Dakota.
L. H. Van Honteii, A. M.
Mr. Van Houten who will have charge of the Brie Branch of the
Edinboro State Normal School, received his bachelor’s degree from
Central College, Iowa; his master’s degree from the University of

of teachers’ training, and director of extension for colleges. Captain
Van Houten succeeded Chief Educational Officer, Major Arthur G.
Crane, and as such was given entire administrative charge of the vo
cational and curative work among the wounded men.
Miss Celestia J. Hershey
Students who do training in the Erie city schools will be glad to
hear that Miss Celestla J. Hershey has been secured as supervisor of
student training. Miss Hershey has been connected with the Erie
city normal school since its organization in 1905. The success of her
work and the esteem of her students are the highest tributes that
can be paid a teacher.
THE ARTS AND CRAFTS DEPARTMENT OF THE NORMAL SCHOOL
Edinboro is the Normal School of Western Pennsylvania chosen
to train teachers for the special field of Arts and Crafts. In Septem
ber, 1920, there was instituted in the school a three-year course for
the training of art supervisors and teachers of arts and crafts.
Under the present ruling of the State Department of Public In
struction, art is a reulred subject in all the elementary public schools
of the state. The call for competent art instructors is and always will
be far greater than the supply. The salaries paid supervisors and spe
cial teachers of art are higher than those ordinarily paid grade teach
ers. Applicants for admission to the course must show some proficlen-

cy In drawing in addition to a first class high school education and
such other regular requirements as are necessary for entrance to a
Normal School. The field for graduates of the Arts and Crafts De
partment of the Edlnhoro State Normal School is the state.
Students of the Arts and Crafts Department will live in Reeder
or Haven Hall and enjoy all the privileges of the regular Normal stu
dents.
The new studios, which occupy an entire floor of Normal Hall and
which will he completed for the opening of the Fall semester, 1921,
are to be the finest in the state. They consist of two freehand drawing
studios, a mechanical drawing studio, a modern, well-equipped shop
for the various crafts, an instructor’s studio, and two stock rooms.
Each studio Is furnished with running water. Eight large skylights
give the best lighting possible for studio work.
WALDO F. BATES, JR.
The crafts shop will be equipped for work in cardboard con
struction, bookbinding, woodwork, metalry, weaving, and all other
forms of handwork which may find a place in public schools. A
master-knowledge of a craft will Include practical problems that can
be carried out in city or rural schools with minimum equipment.
A thorough ground work in drawing and the crafts, opportunity
for practice supervising and teaching in the Grades, Junior and Senior
High Schools, the preparation of outlines, and instruction in the
business of supervising will make the graduate of the Arts and Crafts

Mr. Bates, head of the Arts and Crafts Department, has super
vised Art in Turner’s Falls and Leominster, Massachusetts, and in
Oil City, Pennsylvania, and is a former director of the School of Arts
and Crafts of Chautauqua, New York. He is a graduate of the Massa
chusetts Normal Art School and is prepared to give the best in mod
ern Art Education.
Miss Anna J. Lamphier, instructor in Handwork for the Summer
Session of 1921, is instructor in Crafts in the State Normal School at
North Adams, Massachusetts. She comes to Edinboro after teaching
ten summers at the School of Arts and Crafts of Chautauqua New
York.
The Arts and Crafts Department of the Edinboro State Normal
School has the fullest support and sanction of the State Department
of Public Instruction. Come to Edinboro and prepare to teach this,
one of the most enjoyable branches of education and one that will be
come increasingly important in the development of our Pennsylvania
schools.
VEGETABLE GARDENING
Edinboro was one of the first normals in the state to introduce
a course in gardening. The work, ever since it was begun ten years
ago, has been done after school hours and in the students’ recreation
time. The State Department has recently recognized these pioneer
efforts and appointed Edinboro as one of the three normals in the
state to offer a special course in vegetable gardening.
It is the purpose of the school to make this course complete in
every detail so that those completing the work will be qualified to
carry on commercial gardening or teach the work in any state.
The course will continue throughout the year. The indoor work
will include greenhouse practice, as soon as one is erected; cement
work in constructing bird houses and baths, garden seats and orna
mental flower pots; shop work in constructing tool racks, flats seed
carriers, marking devices, stakes and all other equipment; preparation. of contact and poison sprays and insecticides; preparation and
sterilization of soils for plant propogation; preparation of plans for
companion and succession cropping; detailed planting plan for a com
bined flower and vegetable garden one rod square; making of nets
and traps for capturing insects; a careful study of all garden insects
and pests and their control. The outdoor work will consist of actual
practice in hotbed and cold frame operation and the planting and cul
tivation of a unit garden one rod square; field practice will Include
the use of seed drills and cultivators and other labor saving devices.
The study and actual use of a Skinner system of overhead irrigation
will greatly add to the production of crops.
MISS ANNIE L. WILSON ACCEPTS POSITION IN CALIFORNIA

rian’s desk. Her decision to locate on the Pacific coast removes an
other of the old friends whom visiting alumni have for years been
glad to greet again.
In February of the present year, Miss Wilson was granted leave
of absence for the latter hall of the school year to complete her study
of the librarians’ course at Western Reserve University. On securing
her degree there, she went to California to take up her work.
There is a technical side to the work of a librarian and there is a
social side. The technical side requires a wide knowledge of books
and skill in classifying and handling them. In this feature of the
work, Miss Wilson gave good service to all who visited the Library.
The social side manifests itself in part in a gracious atmosphere of
helpfulness and sympathy, which pervades the reading room. This
phase of Miss Wilson’s work will be especially remenibered by the
many hundreds of students whom she aided, when their duties took
them to the Library.
The hearty good wishes of the wide circle of friends whom Miss
Wilson made at the Edinboro State Normal, will follow her to her
new location. And many a wandering Edinborolte, on reaching Cali
fornia, will seek her out, to pay again a personal tribute of apprecia
tion.
TRANSFER OF TRAINING
The mind has been considered by many to consist of sharply dis
tinct functions—perception, memory, reasoning, Imagination, etc.
Along with this so-called “faculty” conception of the mind has
gone the belief that training any one of these functions for any kind
of material trained it at the same time for any other kind of material.
For example, that training the memory for dates trained it at the
same time for vocabularies, that training it for the location of cities
trained it at the same time for the outline of countries, that training
it for combinations of chemical elements trained it at the same time
for the distinguishing features of plant and animal forms, etc.
Moreover, such transfer of training, according to this belief, has
been supposed to take place to a very great extent. That is .it has
been held that training any one of these functions for any kind of
material trained it at the same time in almost, if not quite, the same
degree for any other kind of material.
.
It has been this belief which has held certain subjects, especially
EDINBORO TRAINS TEACHERS
8
THE EDINBOEO QUAETERLY
the classical languages and mathematics, in such a
such subjects being regarded as providing the most valuable materials
for “formal” and “disciplinary” training of the different functions of
the mind.
The opposite belief has been held, although by no means so com
monly, that the training of mental functions is very highly specialized
and that training a function for one kind of material trains it in only
a slight degree, if at all, for any other kind of material.
These two conflicting beliefs have grown out of ordinary obser
vation and have not been based upon the results of scientific investi
gation. Such investigation, which has been carried to considerable
extept within recent years, shows beyond question that transfer of
training is a fact but that its extent is limited by the amount of likeness to each other of the situations Involved. That is, the training of
the memory for dates trains it for vocabularies only in so far as
dates and vocabularies are alike, training it for the location of cities
trains it at the same time for outlines of countries only in so far as
the two things are alike, etc.
A distinction should be made between the transfer of habit, and
that of ideals and attitudes. It is easily conceivable that when habits
acquired in one situation are not carried over to another, ideals or
attitudes may be. For example, acquiring the habit of detailed scrut
iny of a printed page, as in proof-reading, is not likely to mean ac
quiring at the same time the habit of detailed scrutiny of a pebbly
sea-shore, because the materials of the two situations are so unlike;
but the ideal of careful observation or the carefully observant atti
tude which is cultivated in the first situation may persist in the
second situation with the good result of making the desired habit
more easily formed in it.
Wha tstudents do ought to be determined upon other grounds
than the purely disciplinary; but when things which they are to do
are determined, these things should be examined for their likenesses
and those things held of most disciplinary value which are found
most often, in whole or in part, in other things that they do both in
and out of school.
Above all, important as the transfer of habits may be, that of
ideals and attitudes is much more so, because of their more nearly
universal nature and their great influence in determining the direc
tion of habit formation.
THOMAS A. HILLYER.
HEALTH EDUCATION AND ATHLETICS
The Health Education program promises many attractions for
the coming year. The fall activities will center around outdoor
sports—field hockey, tennis, hiking and swimming for the girls. For
the boys, tennis, swimming and football.
Greater interest in sports is expected this year, due to the new
system of awarding school letters. E’s will be given to all persons
earning a stated number of points according to an adopted schedule
for participation in specified activities.
During indoor season, regular gymnasium work will include
marching, tactics, free exercises, folk dancing, games, volley ball.

THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY
indoor baseball, etc. Class teams will be formed in basket ball and
match games played in order to pick material for varsity squads.
Interschool contests will be held with the five normal schools in
western Pennsylvania.
The work given in the required Health Education course, during
the summer term, was a practical presentation of public school physi
cal training, including marching, free exercises, games and folk danc
ing. Great interest was shown in elective courses, swimming, tennis,
and athletic coaching. A water carnival featured the close of the
swimming course.
NEW TRAINING FACILITIES
Training school facilities at the Edinboro State Normal School
will be undoubtedly improved under the new agreements with the
Borough of Edinboro and the City of Erie. Under the agreement
with the Borough of Edinboro, the Normal School abandons its sec
ondary department and the entire twelve grades of the Borough
schools are organized as a training school, with Miss Ada Evelyn
Jones, supervisor of training in the Normal School, as the Superin
tendent. The 6-3-3 plan of organization will be adopted, housing the
junior and senior high schools in the normal school buildings.. This
will leave ample room in the borough building for expansion of the
elementary grades. It will also give the elementary school an audi
torium and ample room for recitation and modern methods in in
struction.
The junior high school organization will give first hand experi
ence to prospective teachers in this new and fast developing depart
ment of our public schools. The junior high school will have its
separate assembly room, under its own principal, and its organization
and preparation will conform to modern practice. As our training
school is to be the size of the schools to which most of our graduates
go as teachers, this apprentice teaching at Edinboro will be extremely
valuable.
The final apprentice teaching of our seniors will probably be
given in the city school of Erie. The new agreement of the School
District of the City of Erie provides for the state maintaining an
Extension Branch of the Edinboro State Normal School in Erie, and
also offers the privilege of apprentice teaching throughout the city.
As there are over 400 teachers in the Erie school, this will afford am
ple opportunities to give each senior a final experience under full re
sponsibility for a school department. Graduates of Edinboro who have
received this final apprenticeship in the Erie schools will find it is
a decided recommendation to them in seeking positions.
IMPROVEMENT
IN
PLANT
AND
EQUIPMENT
Money appropriated by the state legislature will be sufficient to
make some much needed improvements in our buildings and equip
ment. New boilers and machinery will be installed in the heating
plant which will give better service and increased efficiency. The
Arts and Crafts studios in the third floor of Normal Hall will be
ready for occupancy in September. These are large, beautifully

lighted rooms, finished in artistic manner, and to be equipped with
furniture and apparatus of modern and approved design. With these
rooms, Mr. Bates and his assistants will be given fine opportunity to
promote the teaching of Arts and Crafts throughout western Penn
sylvania.
The junior high school is to be provided with assembly room on
the first fioor of Normal Hall. Additional windows are being in
stalled and a fine room will result. In the basement, new toilet
rooms are being provided. These will have outside lighting and ven
tilation and the best of sanitary conveniences. Fire escapes have
been remodeled on the dormitories and their exits improved. Rooms
in Haven Hall have been arranged as an infirmary. These rooms are
pleasantly located and will be a boon to any students during Illness.
