Whenever one or more students are recommended by the
faculty for examination in six or more studies of the Junior
course, the State Board of Examiners will examine such candidates. The following is a list of the branches in which ,tudent..,
preparing for the Junior course may be examined in June, 1894:
Arithmetic, Grammar, Reading and Spelling, Geography (Political, Physical and Mathematical),
Penmanship, United States

Oep&tttments.

PHYSICS.
Physics is taught duriug the Fall and Winter terms of the
Senior year. This department id thoroughly equipped with apparatus,so as td:permit the exhibition of many more experiment8
than are described in the average text book. With the actual
experiment and phenomena before him, each student is led to
think and reason out the working of natural laws for himself.
Experiments are performed in advance of the lesson, so as to
effectually call forth the original Dowersof the student.
..A parti~l liSt of the apparatus for illustrating principles of
Physics includes instruments of ileasurements, Jength,weight and,
capacity; instruments for illustrating physical forces,for illustrating principles of machinery, for determining specific gravity,
for exemplifying principles of Hydrostatics, Hydraulics, Pneumatics, Optics, etc.;. Spectroscope,Endosmeter, models of Steam
Engines, apparatus for illustrating pressure of fluids, air pump,
electric batteries, electric machines, electroscope,permanent and
artificial magnets, magnetic needles,etc., etc.
An imported hi,gh gradehand motor is an imporlanta ddition
to the electric apparatus.
BOTANY.
The subject of Botany is taugh~ during the Spring term of
the Senior year. 'fhe living plant is made the basis of instruction, Gray's School and Field Book of Botany being used as a
guide. The flora of the locality is large,and within easy reach of
the student. Two compound microscopes of high magnifying
power are always in readiness for examining the deli£ate and intricate portions of plants and flowers.' Thus analysis of plant
growth and infloresence can be conduct~d to a great degree of

(1.) To mount neatly, on suItable card board, fifty specl- i
mens of flowering plants selectedfrom the wild flora of the vicin- I
ity, with the natural classification of eachsubscribed.
(2.) To write out in list form seventy-five observedfacts in
referenceto eachof ten plants selected by the instructor.
(3.) To write out an analysis of t,;,e~ty-five plants, contain.
lUg such facts as are necessaryfor classlfYlUg eachplant.
PHYSIOLOGY.

As the subject of Physiology is now taught in all the Public

i Schools,and students are more or less familiar with the subject
I before entering the Normal School, the work in this department
" is devoted exclusively to a thorough and comprehensive review
of the whole subject, with special reference to Hygiene. The
student is not only expected to master in detail the important
, parts, with their functions, and the different processesof the
i human body, but also to becomeso thoroughly acquainted with
i the laws of health that he can apply them intelligently in maintaining health in any school room.
'I
As aids to the study of Anatomy there are exhibited in
I presenceof the students two life size skeletons-one with the
bonesintact, the other with the bonesseparate-so that not only
the position but the size lind shape of every bone may be thoroughly understood by the student. Also a model of the human
body, with parts detacha1}le,showing the position and comparative
size of all the vital organs, the different parts of the brain, the
location of the different muscles,etc. Also a complete set of the
most! recently approved charts, showin~ microscopic views of
capillaries, blood corpuscles,nerve filaments, lymphatics, action
of narcotics on digestion, etc., etc.
PHYSICAL

GEOGRAPHY.

As aids to the Study of Physical Geography, there are avail; able at all times maps, charts, globes; also apparatus for illustrat.
ing relative sizes,positions and movements of the bodies of the
solar system. Especial attention is paid to the physical causes
underlying the various phenomena treated under this subject.
As far as practicable, such.subjects asatmospheric pressure,intermittent springs, etc., are explained by actual experiment before .-

ENGLISH.

The English Department includes Reading,Grammar, Rhetoric and Literature. The structure of the language,letter writing,
punctuation, and such composition as will be of use in every day
life form the work in Grammar. The study of TechniclII Grammar
is outlined by the teacher. Rhetoric is made as practical 3S
possible. Manner of expressionand criticism of original work is
a part of the whole course,while the study of the principles of
Rhetoric preparesthe student to appreciate the work in Literature
which .follows. Fourteen weeks are devoted to the study of
Literature. One complete production from each of four English
Classicsis given minute and,critical study. The Classicsstudied
this year were "Hamlet," ,. IIi Memoriam," "Miles Standish,"
and Emer.son's "Essay on Uharacter." This is supplemented by
studies of the lives and characters of authors, and other valuable
,vork outlined by the teacher, and by public literary exercises.
LATIN.

In Latin we aim to make a thorough and exhaustive study
of the principles of the language, and to give so thorough a drill
in Latin Grammar as to facilitate an extended study of the language. We strive to show the close relationship which exists
betweenthe Latin lauguage and our own. English words from
Latin roots are traced to the original. 'fhe life and campaigns of
Cresarare critically studied. The geographyof Gaul and Ancient
: Italy, the history of the destruction of the Republic, and the
formation of the Roman Empire, are made the subiect of interesting talks with the instructor.
ARITHriSTIC..

The work in Arithmetic is divided into two grades.
One begins at Decimal Fractions and completesthe work as
far as Percentage.
Another grade begins with Percentageand finishes the book.
There is also a general review classarranged for each term.
An eflort is made to give the pupils an intelligent knowledge
of the subject, and the power of independent thought, so as to
obtain- results rapidly and correctly. Mechanical processesand
routine metho~s are of no value. Students here are trained to
logical habits of thought, and are stimulated to a high degree of

DRAWINO.

c',

The time is near at hand when a knowledge of Dr~wing will
be required of every teacher. It is a valuable aid in nearly every
department of school work. The aim of the instructor in this
department is to make the ,york as practical as possible. Copying
is not drawing. Students are taught to draw fromJ?imp1emodels,
forms and objects, and advanced by degreesto various different
modifications of these, and to plant and animal forms.
MODEL SCHOOL,

This department has set apart for its use a large study room
and ten well lighted and ventilated class rooms, nIl of which are
well equipped with necessaryapparatus.
The Model School is under the constant direction of a Superintendent of the Model School, who is assisted by the Teacher of
Methods and School Management. The memberSof the Senior,
Class will practice in this school one period daily for th'e entire
year; thus each member will have the opportunity to establish
the true relation between theory and practice, and to develop,
under skillful and practical supervision, correct methods and

devices.

The children in this department range in age from five to
sixteen years; hence they are classified so as to represent every
grade of Public School Work.
MUSIC DEPARTMENT,

The aim of this department is not only to prepare teachers
for leading the music in Public Schools, but also to offer facilities
for higher musical culture, both for the voice and on the chief
musical
instruments.

The musical development will be made to keeppace with the

musical touch and a correct interpretation of the standard works.
-VOICE.

Vocal music is universally c:>ncededto be the highest type of
music. We owe it to ourselves and to society to b.ring out the
capabilities of our voices, and if specially endowed we should
have our gifts carefully trained.
.

I'
!I

The department offers a course in sight singing which is free
to all Normal and Conservatory students, and also a course in
voice culture comprising two years, treating of proper breathing,
vocal gymnastics, phrasing, and many other things which perfect
the artistic singer.
As Ferd. Sieber's school of voice building is excelled by none,
it is followed, and in-connection therewith, songs and recitatives
and arias of oratorios and operasreceive due attention.
VIOLIN

!!I!I

This import~nt branch of art js under the charge of a. competent and experIenced teacher. No other branch of mUSIChas
advanced so much during the .past fifteen years as the art of violin
playing; and as a consequencethere is an increasing demand for
good teachersand skillful players. The violin is the most popular and perfect of instruments. Its mellow vox humana, its
flutelike sweetness,the impassioned power of a sweep from one. !
end of the string to the other, the ringing brilliancy of its upper \
register, place it at the head of musical instruments, and it all but (
outrivals the human voice.
