EXAMINATIONS.
Candidates for graduation are examined by the State Bo,ard
of Examiners in the branches of the Senior year. A diploma, in
which are named the branches of the course, is given to those
found qualified, and confers upon the holder the degreeof Bachelor of the Elements. This diplo,ma permits the holder to teach
in the Public Schoolsof Pennsylvania for two full years.*
.Admission to the Senior Class is determined by the State
Board of Examiners at the Annual Examination by the Board.
Candidates are examined in all of the Junior studies except
"Methods of Teaching the Common Branches," which' is deferred
to the Seaior year. Examination in the other studies is final.
Graduates of High Schools and teachers who are qualified in
the Junior studies often take this examination. All who are found
qualified are given certificates of a:dmissionto the Senior class.
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 suchcandidates. The following is a list of the branches in wi;tich students
preparing for the Junior course may be examined in June, 1894:
Arithmetic, Grammar, Reading and Spelling; Geography (Political, Physical and Mathematical), Penmanship, United States
H~~tory. This examination will be final, thus relieving Juniors
from the strain of being examined in sixteen branches at the end
of the Junior year.
Those who do I:lot take this examination will not be prevent."
ed, if prepared, from entering the Junior class.
Examinations occur only in June.

PHYSICS.
Physics is taught during the Fall and Winter terms of the
Senior year. This department is thoroughly equipped with apparatus,so as to permit the exhibition of many more experiments
than are described in the average text book. With the actual
experiment and phenomena before hi~, each student is led to

Experiments are performed in advance of the lesson, so as to
effectually call forth the original powers of the student. '

A partial list of the apparatus for illustrating principles of
Physics includes instruments of measurements,length, weight and
cap~city; .in~truments for. illustrating phy.si?al force~, for il~uStratrng prIncIples of machInery, for determInIng specIfic gravIty,

An imported high grade hand motor is an important addition
to the electric apparatus.
BOTANY.

1

The subject of Botany is taught'during the Spring term of
the Senior year. The 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 microscopesof high magnifyilJg
power are always in readiness for examining the delicate and intricate portions ot plants and flowers: Thus analysis of plant
growth and infloresence can be conducted to a great degree of .'

For efficient work in organography each student IS furnished
with a dissecting table, equipped with a good single lense microscope, reflecting plates and dissecting needles. At least two
weeksare spent solely in laboratory work of this kind.
Each student is required:
(1.) To make a selection of some wild flower of the vicinity
for special examination with the compound microscope, such
examination to con sist in making careful microscopic measure
mente and exact drawings of such parts as the pollen, grain,
.ovule, etc., and to make a drawing, showing the complete flower
plan, for study and comparison by the other members of the
class.
(2.) To mount neatly, on suitable card board, forty specimens of flowering plants selected .from the wild flora of the
vicinity, with the natural classifications of eachsubscribed.
(3.) To write out an analysis of thirty-five plants, containing such facts as are necessaryfor classifying eachplant.
PUYSIOLOOY.

As the subject of Physiology is now taught in all the Public
Schools,and students are more or less familiar with the subject
before entering the Normal School, the work ia 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
human body, but also to becomeso thoroughly acquainted with
the laws of health that he can apply them intelligently in maintaining health in any school room.
As aids to the study of anatomy there are exhibited in I
presence of the students two life size skeletons-one with the
bones intact, the other with the bones separate-so that not only
the position but the size and shape of every bone may be thoroughly understood by the student. Also a model of the human
body, with parts detachable, 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, showing microscopic views of
capillarie.s, bloo~ corpuscles,nerve filaments, lymphatics, action .Ii

PHYEJICAL GEOORAPHY.

As aids to the study of Physical Geography,there are available at all times maps, charts, globes; also apparatus forillustrating 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 as atmospheric pressure,intermittent springs, etc., are explained by actual experiment before
the class.
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 Technical Grammar
is outlined by the teacher. Rhetoric is made as practical as
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 Classici!studied
this year were "Roger de Coverly Papers," Addison; "Julius
Cresar," Shakespeare; "Legend 'of Sleepy Hollow," Irving, and
"Vision of Sir Launfal," Lowell. This is supplemented by
studies of the liveR Itud charactersof authors, and other valuable
work 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 whtch exists
betweent?e Latin language and our own. English words from
Latin roots are traced to the original. The life and campaigns of
Cresarare critically studied. The geography of Gaul and Ancient
Italy, the history of the destruction of the Republic, and the
for~ation of t?e Rom~n Empire, are made the subject qf inter- ,

A~ITHMETIC..

The work in Arithmetic is divided into two grades.
II
One begins at Decimal Fractions and completes the work as
far as Percentage.
Another grade begins with Percentageand finishes the book.
There is also a general review classarranged for eachterm.
An effort is made to give the pupils an intelligent knowledKe
of the subject, and the power of independent thought, so as to
obtain results rapidly and correctly. Mechanical processesand
routine methods are of no value. Students here are trained .to
logical habits of thought, and are stimulated to a high degree of
intellectual energy.

ALOEB~A.
The work in Algebra is divided into three divisions, two of
which bblong to the Junior year.
One division completes the book as far 8.8Fractions.
Another begins with Fractions and completes the book as far
as Quadratic Equations.
The Seniors begin with quadratics and finish the book.
We recognize the fact that Algebra is essential in all the~;~:.
higher mathematics, hence thoroughness is our aim. Three suc-~:'
cessiveterms are given to this branch. It is commenced early~
in the course,and prosecuted with vigor.

OEOME'I'RY.

It is generally concededthat the best mental drill is derived
from the demonstration of geometrical theorems. In no other
study can the languageand thinking power of students be so well
trained to clearness and conciseness. Problems are deduced
from the theorems of the book, thus making the subject both
interesting and practical.
PENMANSHIP.

I
~

It is very important for every young man or woman to be
able to write a rapid business hand. Recognizing the great demand in commercial pursuits for rapid business writers, and in
the educational world for competent teachers of Penmanship, a
special department of Penmanship is sustained. The complete
courseembracesplain writing, analysis, fancy writing, blackboard
writing, card writing, flourishing and lettering. The work is I
thorough and effective.

BOOKKEEPING,

An excellent opportunity for taking Bookkeeping in single
and double entry is offered. In this pra~tical age every teacher
should have such a knowledge of the principles of Commercial
Law, Bookkeeping and BusinessFormS as to enable him to transact business intelligently.
In order to teach these things, they
must be thoroughly understood. The student here can, by actual
practice, become familiar with the duties of the merchant, the
I .banker, the commission agent, the bookkeeper, etc., etc.
DRAWING.

The time is near at hand when a knowledge of Drawing 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 work as practical aspossible. Copying
is not drawing. Studeuts are taught to draw from simple models,
forms and objects, Imd advanced by degreesto various different
modifications of these, and to plant and animal forms.

METHODS.
The work in Methods is based on sound educational principles, and is never allowed to degenerate into stereotyped devices
which the student puts into a note book, believing that he has in
them the key to future success. The aim is rather to cultivate
the spirit of investigation, to develop the individuality of the
teacher.and to build up a true ideal of education and the teacher's
part in the process.
The teacher of Methods is also Critic teacher in the Model
Schoo], where she may test theories and illustrate principles in
presenceof the ~tudent-teachers,who cannot fail to be benefited
by this union of precept and practice.
MODEL SCHOOL.

This department has set aside for its use one large study
room and sevenclass rooms, that are unsurpassed by any similar
schoo] in the State. They are all well lighted and ventIlated, and
are supplied with all necessaryapparatus. The room for the
primary grades has just been fitted up with the latest pattern of
adjustable seats, which adds much to its appearanceand comfort.
There have been added during the past year, tables for sand
.modeling, Yag.g'y's Geographical Chart, glo?es,a.nd a complete
set of Rand, McNally & Co.'s maps-ColumbIa serIes.

VIOLIN AND 'CELLO..

This important branch of art is under the charge of a competent and experienced teacher. No other branch of music has
advanced so much during the past fifteen yearsas the art of violin
playing; and as a consequencethere is an increasing demand tor
good teachersand skillful players. The violin is th~ 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.

I

THE 'CELLO.

This beautiful solo instrment also receives special attention,
and is.taught from Piatti's celebrated'school. Pupils, as soonas
competent, have the advantage of orchestra practice and ensemble
playing in both violin and 'cello departments.
HARriONY.

A study of Elementary Harmony is absolutely essential to
every musician. The department offers a course covering two
years, which includes a study of scales,intervals, naming and
writing the same from sound, concord and discord, voice leading,

Edinboro is one of the healthiest school towns in the State.
It is situated in the valley of the great Conneauttee,and on the
border of a beautiful lake of the samename. Its rich soil of loam
and gravel finds its natural drainage into the stream that flows
from the lake through the town. The death rate for the inhabitants of village and surrounding district is very low, not over ten
per thousand people for the year. Weare more free from epidemic than large centres of population or railroad towns.
A complete system of seweragehas beenconstructed, at large
expense, for the schoolground and its various buildings, conveying all sewerageand waste into a creek of constantly running
water. In consequenceof this sewera,ge
system, the water supply
for the school is exceptionally pure and wholesome,without the
usual danger of contamination.

Pennsylvania & Ohio. Hacks connect with passengertrains at that
place. The New York, Pennsylvania & Ohio has goodconnections

GROUNDS.
The schoolgrounds, consisting of about twelve acres,are of surpassingbeauty. They are artistically dotted with treesand shrubs
of great variety. The lawns are well kept. Opportunities are

and water tower. Five are used for recitation rooms, museum,
librarY, offices,.etc.; tw? are boa~dinghalls. All are heated with
