THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

LOCATION
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 in that
section of the State. The village is twenty miles from Erie and
seven miles from Cambridge Springs. It is connected with these
towns by an interurban car line with hourly service. It is but a
step, then, from the great railway systems of the Middle West
and at the same time enjoys a pleasant remoteness, a slight se­
clusion, that is thoroughly consistent with good student work.

E

THE VILLAGE
he village is progressive. Its influences are for good. It has an
T
old and well established citizenship. It was founded in
1796 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
ake Edinboro lies just north of the village. Exactly what part
it has played in the last fifty years in the spirit and tradition
L
of the school would be hard to estimate. It is a charming sheet
of fresh water, the second largest in the State, and calls visitors
from many miles around. It affords a restful field for recreation
with its boating, bathing, and fishing.
THE SCHOOL
he early establishment of an academy in 1857 was a manifes­
tation of the pioneer spirit that characterized all early
American life. Somebody has said that our pioneers always
built a church at one end of their town and a school at the other.

T

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

I

In such spirit was the academy founded in 1857- It became the
Edinboro State Normal School in 1861. For fifty-two years it
has held a high place in the educational life of its particular
district; while its sons and daughters have held positions of trust
from one end of the land to the other.

PURPOSE
he primary purpose of the school is the training of teachers.
In a more particular sense it plans to equip teachers for the
T
Twelfth Normal School District, which embraces the counties of
Lawrence, Mercer, Venango, Crawford, and Erie. There is m
the right sort of normal school not only the specific and technical
training, but also a training along broad and cultural lines that
Page ten

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

must be the basis of all effective teaching and the basis of life as
well. If the schools are to meet the needs of the people and be in
close sympathy with common life, the teachers must be people
trained not only in mathematics but in manhood, not only in liter­
ature but in life. The fact that the mass of the older alumni of
the school are engaged in all the varied fields of life is but proof
of the efficiency of the normal school.
Broadly speaking, therefore, there are two aims in the pur­
pose of the Edinboro State Normal School: to send its graduate
out with a confidence born of a thorough knowledge of method
and of matter; and in the second place, to imbue him with the
spirit of the true teacher—the teacher who can thrill his pupils
with glimpses of new horizons and broader visions.
THE FACULTY
or the accomplishment of this chief aim of the school, the
Board of Trustees maintains a faculty consisting of experi­
F
enced teachers that are not only leaders in their various deparL
ments, but are also able demonstrators of method. They are
men of wide training in American colleges and universities, and
above all are men whose hearts are in their work. While there
is a special department devoted to the technical phases of method,
each class is a practical laboratory of demonstration.
THE STUDENTS
fter a visitor has seen the recitation rooms, the library, and
A
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 to join the students
at Edinboro, the authorities feel that in the earnest company of
students is the chief lure. When all is said, it is on the students
that the real worth of the school must rest; and in the Edinboro
State Normal School there is, by the common consent of all who
know, a splendid body of students.
Page eleven

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

“STUDENT INTERESTS”
tudent interests” is a name that has arisen in the last gener^ ation to describe the phases of student activities that are
not especially directed by the faculty. It embraces all forms of
athletics, dramatic interests, and student publications. In all
these branches the students at the Edinboro State Normal School
maintain vigorous and healthful activities. The gymnasium and
athletic teams are intended to benefit the entire body of students,
the dramatic and publication fields are open to those who have
particular interest in these departments.
In this group must also be placed the orchestra, the literary
societies, the Young Women’s Christian Association, and the
Young Men’s Christian Association. All of these organizations
are well suported and add much to the school life.

The Student Council

DISCIPLINE
he institution is maintained for the students. Only such regu­
T
lations are made as tend to serve the welfare of its patrons.
Discipline is as nearly voluntary as possible. Students are ex­
pected to conduct themselves as would be fitting for those enter­
ing one of the noblest vocations of men.
LIVING
t has been said that he is a wise man who knows how to rest
wisely. In Reeder and Haven Halls the boys and girls at
Edinboro have the advantages of a home atmosphere, and of
association with cultured men and women. The authorities en­
deavor to maintain during study hours the best possible condi­
tions for study; outside of study hours, they endeavor just as
earnestly to maintain an atmosphere of happy contentment, m
surroundings that are inspiring and ^ uplifting. The weekly
sing,” just after supper on Thursday night, has become a feature
of Edinboro life.

GROLFNDS AND BUILDINGS
he campus of the school embraces thirty-one acres of pleas­
antly situated land. On it may be found specimens of
practically all the native trees—many of which represent over half
a century of growth. Their care is the particular pride of certain officers of the school; their beauty constitutes no snrnll part
of the agreeable setting of the buildings. In addition to the carefully graded and well kept lawns, there are several tennis courts
and a large athletic field. At the rear of the campus is the pro ­
ductive model farm.

The buildings are nine in number, besides the thoroug^hly
modern heating plant and electric power house. In order of their
age they are;

COMMERCIAL. HALL

Commercial Hall is the original academy building.
Page thirteen

It was

L

erected in 1857. It stands at the northwest corner of the campus.
It is a substantial frame building which houses the two literarysociety halls and the commercial department. Care has kept it in
perfect condition, a useful memorial of the days of the foun­
dation.
SCIENCE HALL

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

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

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

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

RECITATION HALL.

3

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

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

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

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

including state and local government, school management and methods
of teaching, valid for one year in the districts or district under the
supervision of the superintendent issuing them. Every provisional cer­
tificate shall Indicate by suitable marks the degree of proficiency of the
holder in each branch. No person, entering upon the work of teaching
in the public schools after the approval of this act, shall teach more
than five school terms on provisional certificates. No superintendent
shall make valid by endorsement a provisional certificate issued by
another superintendent.

of study required for a provisional certificate, as well as in any two of
the following subjects; namely, vocal music, drawing, English litera­
ture, plane geometry, general history, physical geography, elementary
botany, elementary zoology, or elementary physics, and shall satisfy
said superintendent, by written or oral tests, that they have carefully

SPECIAL COURSES FOR TEACHERS
In the spring of 1915 the following courses will be open to
those taking the teachers’ review courses: School Management,
based on Seeley; How to Study, based on McMurray’s “How to
Study”; School Gardening, and Primary Methods.
DEPARTMENT OF PEDAGOGY
Mr. Freeland, Miss Gillespie, Mr, Baker,

THE TRAINING SCHOOL,

It is the aim of the Training Department to give prospective
teachers practice in teaching under the best methods. Individual
work and originality on the part of the practice teachers is put at
a premium, but instruction in the best methods of teaching each
subject is given. All teaching is done in the Edinboro Public
School, and this makes the work more real than that of the ordi­
nary model school. Each teacher is supposed to take full charge

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

of the room while teaching, and no interference or help is given,
unless it is evident that she is unable to discipline and give proper
instruction. Then, of course, the critic teacher is at hand to take
charge.
The discipline of the pupils is made as easy as possible. Every
chance for freedom is given to them. We believe that the more
discipline, as such, is necessary the less learning is possible. Every
child is encouraged to act upon his best impulses, to feel free tO
do what he thinks is right. We believe that the best disciplined
room is the one in which every one is free to do as he pleases,
and yet does not please to disturb any one else. All the children
are led to love the school, to feel that it is a place for pleasant
activity and the exercise of their powers.
The course of study is made as flexible as possible. Manual
training, music and drawing are taught in all the grades, by
practice teachers under the supervision of the instructors in these
branches at the Normal.
PRIMARY METHODS

This course will take up the special methods that are neces­
sary with primary grades. Special attention will be given to
the primary course of study, the different methods of teaching
primary reading, arithmetic, spelling, etc. Observation and
practice in the training school will be a part of the course.
SCHOOL HYGIENE

Teachers are being called upon more than ever to consider
the physical care of the children under them. This course will
take up such topics as the “Hygiene of the Teacher,” the care
of children’s eyes, teeth, etc.; air, fatigue, and the best methods
of mental work.
PSYCHOLOGY

The fundamental mental structures are taken up in this
course; including among others, sensation, perception, emotion.
Page thirty-two

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

the will, habit, attention, and memory. The chief stress is placed
upon function, that is, how the mind works and acts, especially
in the learning process. A text is used but the basis of the
work is made up of a number of different books, which are re­
ferred to in the library.
METHODS OP TEACHING

This class is carried on in connection with the teaching prac­
tice in the model school. Its aim is to furnish a basis for prac­
tical work in the class room rather than a theoretical discussion
of education. Questions concerning discipline, and special plans
are discussed. The text used is Charter’s “Methods”. Two
hours, for two terms.
HISTORY OP EDUCATION

An epitome of the educational world from the dawn of history
to the present time is taken in this course. This is followed by a
more careful study of the great educators of each great epoch
of the world’s history. Such persons as Plato, Jesus, Quin­
tilian, Dante, Luther, Bacon, Commenius, Rousseau, Locke,
Froebel, Herbart, and Horace Mann, are discussed with stress
upon the features in our modern systems, which originated
through them. Five hours; Spring term.
SOPHOMORE METHODS

Roark’s method in Education is covered by this class during
the first half year. It is understood that Sophomores, who are
not soon to put their work in practice will not remember many
facts from their study of methods. We strive, therefore, to
develop an ability to think. The last part of the course is spent
on presenting reports, of different subjects which the class
chooses. Everyone in the class is supposed to read something
in the library for each report. Two members make special pre­
paration for each report, reading the material that the library
Pige thirty-three

THE EOINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

affords upon this special topic. Discussions and criticisms follow
the report.

SCHOOL LAW AND SCHOOL MANAGEMENT

In School Management Seeley’s Text is covered. In school
law the Pennsylvania code of 1911. The class seems to be able
to finish the management section in the two first terms, and the
spring term is given up to school law.
METHODS IN HISTORY

This course is developed on the basis of organization as the
chief factor in teaching and studying history. The work con­
sists largely in the organization of the subject matter of history
in the grades. No text is used but the work is based largely on
McMurry’s “How to Study and Teaching How to Study.”
Pa^e thirty-four

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

LI

METHODS IN GEOGRAPHY

The work of this course consists mainly in planning type
lessons for the various grades. Home geography, map study,
illustrative materials in geography and the correlation of geog­
raphy are emphasized.
HOW TO STUDY

For the benefit of teachers who wish to prepare for Pro­
visional Certificates, in the Spring term of 1915, Mr. Baker will
offer a course based on McMurry’s “How to Study and Teach­
ing How to Study,” twelve weeks, three hours a week.
DEPARTMENT OF LATIN
Mr. Barnes and Mr. Sackett, Miss Swenarton, Miss Roberts

From the beginning accuracy in pronunciation and in know­
ledge of inflectional forms is rigidly required. The work of the
entire first year is designed to render the student sufficiently
familiar with accidence and elementary constructions to enable
him to begin the reading of connected prose narrative with intelli­
gence 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 of Caesar, Cicero, and Vergil is
stated elsewhere. The work of classes, however, is not limited to
this. Selected portions of text from the authors named, and
from other Latin writers, are used in addition, and an attempt is
made to develop an intelligent appreciation of the significance of
literature and to aid the student in forming correct conceptions
of literary culture. The efforts of the instructor are constantly
directed to developing the ability to read Latin, i. e., to recognize
Fa^e thirty-five

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

the thought in its Latin dress, and to feel the exact force of con­
struction, idiom and arrangement. Translation is required more
as a test of accuracy in this than as an end in itself. Versifica­
tion 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 contri­
bute something, perhaps, to the stimulation of interest in the
subject and to the encouragement of independent investigation.
DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS
Mr. S'iddell, Mr. Sackett, Mr.

Stancliffe

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
mental and written arithmetic, in algebra and in geometry. If a

Arbor Day

Page thirty-six

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

strong foundation is laid in these branches, the advanced coursp
in mathematics in normal school, college, or technical school will
not present insurmountable difficulties to the student, nor will
county and state examiners of prospective teachers find indica­
tions of lamentable weakness in these subjects. To this end,
thoroughness in all work is the watch-word. An attempt to
“humanize” the various subjects is made by choosing suitable
illustrative problems for the topics under discussion.
ARITHMETIC

In arithmetic work is given in the first and last years of the
course. In the first year daily recitations are held throughout
two terms. The aim is to develop accuracy, facility, and rapidity
of work, both oral and written. Clearness and conciseness of
explanation are insisted upon; also absolute truthfulness in the
use of equations. Rules as such are not learned but are logically
evolved; thus the “why” explains and helps to establish the
“how” in the mind of the student.
The work in written arithmetic, in which considerable oral
work is also done, is supplemented by a separate course in mental
arithmetic, where in addition to skill and facility in work, power
of concentrated attention and continued retention are the ends
sought. Students frequently attest the value of this work in
increased efficiency in other lines of work.
The work in arithmetic given in the last year of the course
aims to equip teachers thoroughly for work in the grades. As a
means to this end, a general review of the subject is given, but
the work is broader and deeper than that of the first year, and
includes work on the pedagogy of the subject, to which a term’s
work is given.
ALGEBRA

In algebra the student is led inductively to enlarged and dif­
ferent number concepts, and to understand and interpret the
underlying principles and to apply them intelligently. Algebra
and arithmetic are closely correlated. This course seeks to make
Page thirty-seven

11

the edinboro state normal school

------------------------------------------- -------------------------- ------- 13

easy and gradual the transition from the inductive type of
thought in arithmetic to the deductive form of reasoning in
geometry. The solution of problems accurately stated is espe­
cially emphasized. Students before entering should have com­
pleted a full year’s work in algebra as far as quadratics, so that
the usual amount required for college entrance can be com­
pleted in one year. For the benefit of those who have not had
this amount of preparatory work classes for beginners are pro­
vided.
PLANE GEOMETRY

Plane geometry is studied throughout the second year. A
love of truth for truth’s sake should be one of the results of a
proper study of geometry. With this end in view accuracy in
definition, logical reasoning, clearness of expression, and authoriy
for. statements are insisted upon. Self-reliance and power of
initiative are developed by original exercises. Believing that the
potver to attack and solve original exercises is the true test of
one’s geometric ability, it has been and will be the plan of the
teachers to make extensive use of such exercises, choosing, how­
ever, a large number of exercises involving a few principles each,
rather than a much smaller number of very difficult problems,
inasmuch as greater benefits result to the student from such a
course of procedure.
SOLID GEOMETRY

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

One-half year is devoted to the study of trigonometry. The
Page thirty-eight

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

work includes definitions and relations of the six trigonometric
functions as ratios, circular measure of angles, proofs of the
principal formulas, solution of trigonometric equations, theory
and use of logarithms, and the solution of right and oblique
triangles with practical applications.
METHODS IN ARITHMETIC

As this course of study follows logically the review of arith­
metic required by seniors, so in point of time, it is given in the
winter term following the completion of the review of the sub­
ject matter in the fall term. The aim of the course is the prepa­
ration of efficient teachers of arithmetic in both primary and
grammar grades. The course includes assigned readings on the
history and development of the teaching of arithmetic, lectures,
reports, illustrative lessons by pupil teachers with criticisms,
class discussion, the writing of lesson plans and lesson sketches.
Emphasis is placed on the actual teaching work and criticisms
thereof.
ADVANCED ALGEBRA

This course is designed for three classes of students, (i)
those college preparatory students who desire to offer for college
entrance the maximum amount required by any college or techni­
cal school, (2) normal school students who are graduates of first
grade high schools and who wish additional work in mathematics
without duplicating previous courses, (3) other students electing
mathematics. The course will extend throughout the year, the
work of the first semester being comparable to what is some­
times designated “intermediate algebra” and that of the second
semester to “advanced algebra”.
The aim of the course will be to prepare prospective college
students for the most exacting college entrance requirements
and to expose all to the wonders and beauties of algebra that
are wholly unsuspected by those discontinuing the study of
algebra on or before studying quadratics. In the first semester
the work will include a review of quadratics, ration and propor­
tion, theory of exponents, imaginaries, evolution, theory of quadPage thirty-nine

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

ratios, graphical interpretation of quadratics, binomial theorem
for fractional and negative exponents, arithmetic and geometric
progressions.
The work of the second semester will include undetermined
coefficients, permutations and combinations, determinants of the
second, third, and fourth orders, general theory of equations, and
the solution of higher numerical equations.
DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH
Mr. LaBounty, Miss Swenarton, Miss Bauman

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

A. Grammar in its elementary phases is studied. The course
deals with the inflectional sides of the language. Analysis is
taught as an aid to construction only. While it must be largely
a reflective study, every endeavor is made to make the work
practical, to make it a help in the full expression of thought.
Krapp’s and Patrick’s texts are used.
B. Reading as expression is taught in the winter terms. 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 pho­
netics. It is the purpose of the instructor to develop conscience
and pride in a matter that is often slighted.

Before the Game

—Mears

SOPHOMORE COURSE

A. Composition is taught throughout the sophomore year.
Theory and practice are 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
arrangement of sentence elements. For a portion of the year,
diary writing is followed with interest; this assures constant
exercise, which is most important.
The text of Lockwood and Emerson is used for a part of
the work. Each student is required to own, and is expected to
use Wooley’s “Handbook of Composition.”
B. The classics designated as college entrance 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 Halleck’s “Ameri­
can Literature.”
SENIOR COURSE

A. A rapid review of grammar, with special emphasis on
sentence structure, is required of all seniors. The course is given
in the winter term. Each student compiles a catalog 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 is 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 plans for typical recitations.
C. Public speaking is given in the senior year under the
direction of the instructor in oratory. The various forms of
public address are analyzed. Original work is required. Each
student makes one public appearance in the course of the year.
ADVANCED ENGLISH

A. The first two terms of advanced English are devoted to a
study of the great literary forms of poetry. The ballad, sonnet,
lyric, epic, drama are considered. At least one great example of
each is studied in detail.
B. One term of advanced English is devoted to daily para­
graph writing. Subjects of great diversity are assigned, always
with a view to provoking original thought and allowing variety
of treatment. Each paper is read and briefly commented upon
before the class.

ORATORY DEPARTMENT
Miss Bauman.

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

1. Exercise for proper standing, sitting, walking, etc.
Responsive drill. Pantomime.
2. Voice Culture.
Physiological study of the instrument of voice; correct
breathing; exercises to develop freedom, range, purity, and
radiation.
3. Expression. Volumes I. and II. “Evolution of Expres­
sion,” Emerson.
4. Shakespeare. Literary and interpretive study of “As
You Like It.”
5. Gesture. Study of gesture and its relation to expression.
French and Italian system used.
SECOND YEAR

1. Physical Culture. Emerson system of physical culture;
pantomime; responsive drill.
2. Voice Culture. Work for animation, smoothness and sim­
plicity ; exercises for musical quality of speaking voice.
3. Shakespeare. Interpretive study of “Hamlet.”
4. Expression. Volumes III. and IV. “Evolution of Ex­
pression,” Emerson.

8. Oratory. Public speaking; addresses, debate; etc.
Students graduating from this department must have had a
course of at least twenty-four private lessons and make two or
more public appearances as public readers.
“THE ART OP STORY TELLING”

This is a course designed to meet the needs of the teacher in
the grades and high school. It quickens the imagination, develops
the insight into literature, incites growth in the spirit of litera­
ture instead of slavish dependence on the letters of the selection.
Page forty-four

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

It causes the story-teller to see clearly and think deeply and
present the great points of the story. The stories studied will be
the world studies that have influenced the race. They will be
taken up in sequence and their relation to the spiritual develop­
ment of the race will be shown.
Text: “Story-Telling,” by Lyman.
DEPARTMENT OF SCIENCE
Mr. Snyder, Mr. Baker, Mr. Standiffe

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 physical laboratory is fully equipped for thirty indi­
vidual 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 written report on twentyfive experiments, 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 types, and special attention is given to
the habits, food, chief characteristics, and reproduction of the
Page forty-five

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

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

Chemistry is required in the fourth year of the new course,
forty weeks, five class hours a week. Three class hours are de­
voted to classroom work and two to laboratory exercises. The
class work consists of discussion of prepared lessons, demonstra­
tion by the intructor, and solution of simple chemical problems.
Each student is required to perform in the laboratory at least
thirty-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 is considered. Circu­
lars and bulletins by government experts are consulted for the
most up-to-date information. As the collection and analysis of a
large number of plants tends to 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 horticulture, and to that end the school garden and its aims
are considered. Actual practice in planting, feeding, and culti­
vating is carried on as far as time permits.

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
tL------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------AGRICULTURE AND NATURE STUDY
Mr. Snyder

Agriculture is required for two full terms, four periods a
week. Three periods are given to recitation and discussion and
one to laboratory practice. Twenty experiments covering the
propagation of plants; soils and soil solutions; preparation of
insecticides and fungicides, together with the actual use of the
Babcock milk tester, are required. Warren’s “Elements of Agri­
culture” is used as a basis for the text requirements. A suitable
text in nature study will be used in addition. Active membership
in the Normal Bird Club, in which the economic importance of
our native birds is studied, is urgently desired of all.
SCHOOL GARDEN COURSE
Mr. Snyder

The course consists of discussion and laboratory periods. The
discussions take up the purpose and practice of the work; the
planning and planting of the garden; the need and use of plant
food; the methods of handling children in gardens, and civic
problems involved in such cases. Insect life and methods of
control suitable for children will be considered. The laboratory
work will cover the use and care of tools; ways of determining
proper planting depths; the construction and use of simple
apparatus for indoor and outdoor gardens; and busy work for all
grades. In the garden, each student will receive practice in spad­
ing, planting, and caring for a plot of suitable size for children.
The course is offered during the spring term only as an elec­
tive and requires twelve full weeks, five hours a week. A small
laboratory fee will be charged to cover cost of materials used.
GEOLOGY

Geology is offered in the Junior year as a substitute for either
Solid Geometry or Trigonometry, and is required for twenty
weeks, five hours a week.

ASTRONOMY

Astronomy is offered in the Junior year as a substitute for
either Solid Geometry or Trigonometry, and is given during the
second half, twenty weeks, five hours a week.
MUSIC DEPARTMENT
Miss Thomas, Miss Berst, Mr. Weissert

This department offers three courses; viz., a course in piano­
forte, vocal course and a Supervisor’s course in Public School
music. The time required for each of these courses is about
two years.
PIANOFORTE

The course includes the study of the instrument, harmony,
and history of music. The technical work in scales, rhythm,
thirds, sixths, tenths; chords, all forms, arpeggios, octaves, studies
of Kaulau, dementi, Loeschhorn, Czerny, Duvernoy, Matthews,
Kohler, Heller, and Sonatas of Beethoven, Mozart, etc., are
supplemented by pieces selected from the best composers. Some
time is devoted to ensemble playing, transposition, memorizing
and accompanying.
VOICE

The work in voice training consists of breath control, tone
formation and placement, flexibility of the voice, sight reading
and public performance. Vocalizes of Viardot, Sieber, Concone,
Lutgen, Marchesi, Spicker, and others are used and songs both
modern and classic, are studied. The student is required to
appear on the programs of the recitals given from time to time
and to belong to one of the glee clubs of the school.
SUPERVISOR’S COURSE

Much emphasis is laid on our course in Public School Music.
This course requires voice training, harmony, observation and
practice teaching (which is done in our large model school) and

history of music. One year and one term is given to prepara­
tion and observation and in the remaining two terms the prac­
tice teaching is done. Students who take this course find it a
most interesting one.
STATE AID

State aid may be had for all class work in the Supervisor’s
course, hence the tuition is small, the private voice lessons being
the only expense to the student.
BAR TRAINING CLASS

An entertaining class is held for those taking the Public School
Music course but each one taking either vocal or instrumental
work is urged to attend this class as much benefit may be derived
from the work done here.
HARMONY

One year of harmony is required for these courses. The
textbook, Emery’s Elements of Harmony, is completed during
this time.
NORMAL MUSIC CLASSES

Five periods a week for ten weeks is given the freshman class
for the study of fundamentals of music, sight singing and chorus
work.
Three periods a week during the fall term is given by the
senior class to the review of fundamentals of music, a grading of
problems, methods of presentation and practice teaching.
ORCHESTRA

A student orchestra is maintained which meets once a week
for rehearsal under the direction of the head of the department.
This orchestra plays each morning in chapel and for school

functions. The membership is free and all music is furnished
by the school.
GLEE CLUB

The membership requirement of this organization is the
ability to read ordinary music.
VIOLIN, PIPE ORGAN, ETC.

For those desiring to study pipe organ, violin, etc., an in­
structor is available.
MODEL PIANO PUPILS

A limited number of children will be admitted into the music
department as model students for teachers in piano, who are

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

receiving supervised instruction in teaching. These pupils will
be charged $3.50 per term for two private lessons per week. Ap­
plication should be made to the Director of the Music Depart­
ment before the opening of the term by those wishing places as
model students.
CLASS LESSONS IN VIOLIN

Arrangements have been made whereby beginners on the
violin can receive class instruction at a very reduced rate. It is
the wish of the department to create a greater interest in violin,
cornet and other orchestra and band instruments and make it
possible for children to have instruction in the study of these
instruments at a cost within the reach of all.
VIOLIN, CORNET

Private lessons in these instruments are given at the same
rate as piano instruction. Shorter periods for private instruction
for beginners can be arranged.
HISTORY
Mr. Sackett

Though 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 in human pro­
gress. It tends to exclude what is merely dramatic and inter­
esting 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 empahasized to the exclusion of other phases; for
example, constitutional history is not taught to the exclusion of
industrial history; the effort is rather, so far as the limited allowPage fifty-one

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

ance 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 also drawn upon to broaden the con­
ception of the student. The school is gradually adding to its
equipment the best helps in history.
The courses are:
Ancient and Mediaeval.
1. As much as is offered under this heading in Myer’s
General History.
Modern.
2. As much as is offered in Myers’s General History under
this heading.
United States.
3. As much as is offered in Morris, Channing, or Elson,
McLaughlin.
4. English History.
CIVICS
Mr. Sackett

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
classroom discussions. An effort is made to lead the students to
think for themselves about political questions.
GERMAN
Miss Roberts

The courses in German are primarily general culture courses,
leading the student to a deeper interest in a life and a language
differing from his own. Aside from the prescribed course, the
instructor gives numerous short talks upon the legends, life, and
customs of the German people, which generally lead to inde­
pendent investigation in the library.
Page fifty-two

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

Six terms of German are offered in the regular normal cour^,
although more advanced work will be given if there are a suffi­
cient number of requests for it.

FRENCH
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 cornposition
is afforded, and there is opportunity for conversation. The pre­
cise material used is at the discretion of the instructor ^ 1 he
reading of the first year is selected from Halevy s L Abbe
Constantin,” Malot’s “Sans Famille,” Erckmann Chatrians
“Madame Therese,” Sand’s “La Mare au Diable,”_and stones of
this type. That of the second year from the following: Daudet s
“La Belle Nivernaise,” Merimee’s “Colomba,” Hugo’s Les
Miserables” (selections), Zola’s “La Debacle,” etc.

GEOGRAPHY
Mr. StanclifFe

A thorough review in geography is given in the junior year.
1 he course covers one term, five class hours a week.

;

In the last few years geography has assumed new importance
m 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 ifs activities. The question
ever before the teacher is how does this lesson or this particular
fact bear upon the life of man. The work consists of the study
of earth facts in the lights of their influence on human history.
physical geography

I

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

The time is near at hand when a knowledge of drawing will
be required of every public school teacher. It is a valuable aid
m nearly every department of school work.
Page fifty-four

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

L

The supervisors* course in drawing is one especially 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 and perspec­
tive drawing, exercises in ink and brush work, water color paint­
ing, theory of design, constructive drawing, theory of color,
blackboard drawing, history of art, methods of drawing, psy­
chology of the content, gratnnaar and technique of drawing.
In the second year, constructive drawing, clay modeling, water
color painting, geometrical drawing, raffia work, basketry, sewing,
theory of desigu, time sketches in pencil and charcoal, psychology
of form, its place in education, graded illustrative work, details
of supervision, and training in model school, are parts of the
work.
ADVANCED WORK IN ART

Advanced students can take private lessons in oil, water color
and china painting, pastel and crayon work.
DOMESTIC SCIENCE AND MANUAL TRAINING
Miss Powell, Mr. Frost, Mrs. Baker

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 value of these manual arts is two-fold: first,
it brings pupils into contact with the nature and sources of the
materials of industrial life; and, second, it introduces motive into
school work. Both of these values are distinctly social. The
evolution of society has removed the industrial processes from
the home to the factory. This has not only taken from children
a very large source of information, but has also wholly freed
them of social responsibility; as they no longer see or help in
providing and preparing the food, clothing and shelter for the

family. The manual arts, if properly taught, should supply these
deficiencies.
In manual training each student is taught the use of tools, the
nature of various woods, and is required to make some article
of distinctly commercial value.

GENERAL PURPOSE
Commercial Department in a state normal school has two
distinct advantages. It has at its command a dormitory
A
system; it places a course that is too often barren in cultural
studies in full contact with a school atmosphere that is largely
colored by interest in a curriculum of general culture. In addi­
tion the student feels himself identified with a large and selfcontrolled student body; he is an important factor in an institu­
tion of long standing and considerable reputation.
In re-establishing the commercial department at Edinboro,
the authorities have delayed until they are in a position to offer
courses of the same grade of scholarship as is required in the
regular normal course. The courses in grammar, arithmetic and
like subjects are taught by the heads of the various departments
in the normal school. The technical subjects such as bookkeep­
ing, stenography, and typewriting, are under the direction of
instructors of long experience and wide reputation in the best
of business colleges.
The department is re-established in response to a constant
request from young men and women who desire, in particular,
a good school for business training, that can furnish dormitory
facilities.
Three courses have been arranged. One course, extending
through two full school years, leads to a diploma. Two courses,
one in shorthand and one in bookkeeping, are of one year’s dura­
tion. A certificate is issued by the school upon the completion
of the work of either year.
SHORTHAND DEPARTMENT
The aim of this department is to train young men and women
for general office work or reporting of any nature. At first a
thorough knowledge of the theory of shorthand is developed,
which serves as a foundation for success in this particular study.
In the transition from the theory of shorthand to actual prac­
tice, the first step is to train the student to apply the advanced
Page fifty-nine

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

principles promptly and unhesitatingly to new and unfamiliar
words. This is accomplished through the dictation classes, where
practical work is done.
The work throughout the course is supplemented by the neces­
sary drills for speed and accuracy in both shorthand and type­
writing.
The whole course is very practical, including the actual office
practice course, which enables the student to become familiar
with legal forms, bank drafts, checks, notes, filing; in fact, every­
thing that comes up in everyday office work.
GREGG SHORTHAND

Gregg Shorthand is known as the light line system and is
written entirely without shading, without positions, without back­
ward strokes, without awkward angles, and without alternative
or different forms for the same word. The system is founded on
the principles of longhand writing, and has the same freedom of
movement.
There are few rules, and those practically without excep­
tion. Each sound being represented in one way only, there can
be but one way of writing each word. This makes the system
easy to learn, easy to write, and easy to read.
After comparative tests the Gregg system has been adopted in
preference to the position systems. Many who are acquainted
with other systems and have mastered thq Gregg method believe
that it has greater speed possibilities than any system ever devised.
In learning Gregg shorthand you are certain of reaching a
working speed, and of being able to read what you write. It is
advocated for all kinds of reporting, such as speech, court, medi­
cal and scientific reporting, as well as ordinary correspondence.
TOUCH TYPEWRITING

Touch typewriting is of equal importance with shorthand, as
it is the medium through which the finished work is produced.
Accuracy and speed are the essential requirements, and we aim
Page sixty

Class in Typewriting

to obtain these results through the careful training which the
student receives.
BOOKKEEPING DEPARTMENT
In this department bookkeeping, commercial law, commercial
arithmetic, banking and general office practice are taught. Be­
ginning with the simple principles that lie at the basis of busi­
ness and bookkeeping, and developing the subject by inductive
reasoning and philosophical thought-processes, the student is led
to a thorough and comprehensive knowledge of the science of
bookkeeping.
Impracticable methods are entirely eliminated, and nothing
whatever is admitted for purposes of instruction, that is not
found in general use among practical accountants.

DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL TRAINING
Mr. Hayes

The physical training department affords an opportunity for
all students to engage in recreative and developing exercise, in
order that they may enjoy healthful living, build up their phy­
sique, and keep themselves in a vigorous working condition.
As the reciprocal relations of body and mind are better
understood, the value of properly selected physical exercise as a
means of quickening sense perceptions, strengthening the will
and developing the powers of attention are being more appreci­
ated. Many backward boys and girls have first been stimulated
to mental activity through physical efforts. The forced attention,
quick decision, and rapid responses called for in the gymnasium
work and games are a great aid to the development of the
mental faculties.
Page sixty-three

lU—

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

L

The physical training consists of practical work in public
school gymnastics, calisthenics, military drill, dumb-bells, Indian
clubs, wands, and heavy apparatus work on the rings, horizontal
bar, parallel bars, stall bars, horse, buck, and climbing poles;
also mat work and games. The work is graded throughout the
course, being arranged in progressive order with a special aim
of making it physically and mentally educative, interesting and
enjoyable.
Each student is required to have a gymnasium suit; the
young ladies, a black flannel suit of bloomers and blouse, and
gymnasium shoes; the young men, a black jersey, gray trousers,
and gymnasium shoes.

PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE

This course consists of text-book study, recitations, lectures

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
respiration.
Special attention is given to the agents—air, diet, exercise
sleep, and bathing—which affect the human organism and tend
to adapt it to its environment.
The well trained teacher should be familiar with these agents,
and know how to influence them towards the maintenance of
health and the prolongation of life.
THE LIBRARY
Miss Wilson

The library, situated on the second floor of Normal Hall, is
a large, well lighted and well ventilated room. All the shelves
are open to students, allowing free access to the eight thousand
volume which are catalogued according to the Dewey classification Ihe library contains also, about four thousand government
publications, not catalogued. It is especially strong in periodical
literature, several hundred volumes being bound and treated as
reference books. These are valuable to students as the copies
of Poole s Index and Readers’ Guide to Periodical Literaarticles on any subject easily accessible
ihe library is well supplied with daily and weekly newspapers
many of which are sent by the courtesy of the publishers forthe
beneht of the students from their locality.
^The library is open on school days from 9 a. m. to 12 :oo m.
and from i :iS p. m. to 5 :i5 p. m.; on Mondays from 1130 p m*

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 estab­
lished for them at a cost of over
$300,000 of the people’s money.
It means that this plant is main­
tained in the matters of heat, light,
and care, at the expense of the com­
monwealth.
It means that the entire force of
instructors is paid by the State.
It means that the cost to the stu­
dent is only for board and personal
expenses.
It means that an education which
would cost four hundred dollars a
year elsewhere is furnished at a cost
of one hundred and sixty dollars.
It means, in practical result, that the State lends rnoney for
the education of its young; that the loan is to be paid, not in
cash, but in two years’ teaching service, and that that service,
besides discharging the debt, brings tbe one who renders 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, everyPage seventy-one

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, Cambridge Springs
and Meadville. Cars leave Erie on the half hour, Cambridge
Springs five minutes after the hour, and Meadville on 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 charge. All baggage should be checked to the
Normal School.
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 opening of the term; the balance
becomes due at the middle of the term. Books may be purchased
or rented at the book room.
A deposit of the price of the
books is required when the
books are taken. This deposit,
minus rental, is returned to
the student on return of the
books.
ROOMS
Rooms in Reeder and
Haven Halls should be re­
served, as there are not enough to accommodate all who apply.
Reservation should be made as early as possible. Students may
room and board with private families in the town with the con­
sent of the Principal. There is on file at the office a list of all
householders who have accommodations for students. These

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

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, wish to board them­
selves. While the practice is not as
common as it was a few years ago, for
some students it is both economical
and pleasant.
Those girls who wish to do their
own laundry work may do so in the
laundry provided by the school.
CHURCH AND RELIGION

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

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

THE EOINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

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 interest and worth.
RULES

The State law lays down a heavy course of study. The chief
rule of the institution is the study hour. This means that while
recitations are in session from 7145 a. m. to 3 :30 p. m., and from
7:00 p. m. to 10:00 p. m., all students are to devote themselves to
the work of the school. In the fulfillment of this law rests the
whole matter of discipline. A student who comes to do the work
and applies himself to the best of his ability has little time to
spend on any other matters.
A CO-EDUCATIONAL SCHOOL

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

As the school at any hour
is expected to be able to locate
any student who is enrolled, it becomes necessary to require that
each student ask for a permit from the office before leaving town.
When a student is absent from class for any cause, he must
Pa^e seventyofou]

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

procure a written permit from the Principal before he can
resume his school work in any class.
VISITORS

All visitors should so time their visits as to interfere as little
as possible with the schedule of the students.
While any student may be reached
by telephone, all persons are requested
to use this means of communication
only when urgent business demands.
REFUNDS

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

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

Candidates for graduation are examined by the state board
of examiners in the branches of the junior and senior years. A
diploma, in which are named the branches of the course, is given
those found qualified. A diploma permits the holder to teach in
the public schools of Pennsylvania without further examination,
for two years.
Any graduate of this school who has continued his studies for
two years, and has taught two full annual terms in the common
Page seventy-five

THE EDINBORO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

schools of the state, is entitled to a second diploma. These
second diplomas are permanent certificates of the highest grade.
The holder is permitted to teach in the public schools of 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 testi­
fying to his good moral character and skill in the art of teaching,
signed by the board or boards of directors by whom he was em­
ployed, and countersigned by the superintendent of the county in
which he has taught. Blank applications may be obtained at the
office of the principal.
