LOCATION
Edinboro is a prosperous country village in the heart of
the rich agricultural district of Northwestern Pennsylvania.
As such it is an ideal home for the teachers’ training school
that proposes to equip men and women for the school work of
that 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 remote­
ness, a slight seclusion, that is thoroughly consistent with good
student work.
THE VILLAGE
The village is progressive. Its influences are for good.
It has an old and well established citizenship. It was founded
in 1796 by sturdy New England stock whose mark is readily
traced in the community to-day. The village bears the in­
evitable stamp of the school town; it has been known as a
place of learning for many years.
THE LAKE
Lake Edinboro lies just north of the village. Exactly what
part it has played in the last fifty years in the spirit and tradi­
tion 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
The early establishment of an academy in 1857 was a man­
ifestation 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
Page eleven

THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY

other. In such spirit was the academy founded in 1857. It
became the Edinboro State Normal School in 1861. For fiftytwo 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
The primary purpose of the school is the training of teach­
ers. In a more particular sense it plans to equip teachers for
the Twelfth Normal School District, which embraces the coun­
ties of Lawrence, Mercer, Venango, Crawford, and Erie.

THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY

There is in the right sort of normal school not only the specific
and technical training, but also a training along broad and cul­
tural lines that 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 literature 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
purpose 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
For the accomplishment of this chief aim of tiie school,
the Board of Trustees maintains a faculty consisting of ex­
perienced teachers that are not only leaders in their various
departments, 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
After a visitor has seen the recitation rooms, the library,
and the dormitories, after he has interviewed the faculty and
the trustees, he will not be said to know the school unless he
see the students themselves. In inviting the young men and
the young women of the Twelfth Normal School District 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.

“STUDENT INTERESTS”
Student interests” is a name that has arisen in the
last generation 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 gym­
nasium and athletic teams are intended to benefit the entire
body of students, the dramatic and publication fields are open
to those who have partciular interest in these departments.
In this group must also be placed the orchestra, the liter
ary societies, the Young Women’s Christian Association, and
the Young Men’s Christian Association. All of these organiza­
tions are well supported and add much to the school life.

DISCIPLINE
The institution is maintained for the students. Only such
regulations are made as tend to serve the welfare of its pat­
rons. Discipline is as nearly voluntary as possible. Students
are expected to conduct themselves as would be fitting for
those entering one of the noblest vocations of men.
LIVING
It 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
endeavor to maintain during study hours the best possible con­
ditions for study; outside of study hours, they endeavor just as
earnestly to maintain an atmosphere of happy contentment, in
surroundings that are inspiring and uplifting.

GROUNDS AND BUILDINGS
The campus of the school embraces twenty-eight acres of
pleasantly situated land. On it may be found specimens of
practically all the native trees—many of which represent over
a half century of growth. Their care is the particular pride of
certain officers of the school: their beauty constitutes no small
part of the agreeable setting of the buildings.
In addition to
the carefully guarded and well kept lawns, there are several
tennis courts and a large athletic field. At the rear of the
campus is the productive model farm.
The buildings are nine in number, besides the thoroughly
modern heating plant and electric power house. In order of
their age they are :
COMMERCIAL HALL

Commercial Hall is the original academy building. It was
erected in 1857. It stands at the north side of the cam-

pus. It is a substantial frame building" which houses the two
literary societies and the commercial department.
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
supplies. 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 is the last of the old dormitories. Built in 1860,
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 af­
fords 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 onq thousand.
RECITATION HALL

Recitation Hall is a monument to the originality of J. A.
Cooper, ex-principal of the normal school, who forjthirty 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 impossible
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 consists of three
stories given over to dormitory purposes for the boys ; a large
and well lighted basement makes a practical home for the man­
ual training department. Here, as in Haven Hall, the aim s
to make pleasant the social life of the students
As great a
measure of liberty is allowed as is consistent with the rights of
all the young men who occupy it.

COURSES OF STUDY FOR THE EDINBORO STATE NOR­
MAL SCHOOL

Note—This course is based on the “unit” plan as proposed
by the Carnegie Foundation
A “unit” represents a year’s study in any subject in a sec­
ondary school constituting approximately a quarter of a full
year’s work.
This statement is designed to afford a standard of meas­
urement for the work done in a secondary school. It takes the
four-year high school course as a basis, and assumes that the
length of the school year is from thirty-six to forty weeks, that
a period is from forty to sixty minutes in length, and that
the study is pursued for four or five periods a week; but under
ordinary circumstances a satisfactory year’s work in any sub­
ject cannot be accomplished in less than one hundred and twenty
sixty minute hours, or their equivalent. Schools organized on a
different basis can nevertheless estimate their work in terms of
this unit.
Students admitted to the first year shall have a fair knowl­
edge of arithmetic, reading, orthography, penmanship, United
States history, geography, grammar, physiology, civics, and
the elements of algebra to quadratics.

REVIEW COURSES, PROVISIONAL AND PROFESSIONAL
CERTIFICATES
The state law in regard to one-year provisional certificates,
and three-year professional certificates, is given below. The
Edinboro Normal School offers courses in the branches named.
Each year many teachers come for preparation in the subjects
indicated in the law as given here :
PROVISIONAL CERTIFICATE

Section 1302. Any county or district superintendent in
this Commonwealth may issue provisional certificates to per­
sons who pass satisfactory examinations in spelling, reading,
writing, physiology and hygiene, geography, English grammar,
arithmetic, elementary algebra, history of the United States
and of Pennsylvania, civil government, including state and local
government, school management and methods of teaching,
valid for one year in the districts or district under the super­
vision of the superintendent issuing them. Every provisional
certificate 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 ap­
proval of this act, shall teach more than five terms on pro­
visional certificates. No superintendent shall make valid by
endorsement a provisional certificate issued by another super­
intendent.

THE TRAINING SCHOOL
It is the aim of the Training Department to give prospec­
tive teachers practice in teaching under the best methods. In­
dividual work and originality on the part of the practice teach­
ers 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 ordinary model school. Each teacher is sup­
posed to take full charge 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 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. Man­
ual 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
necessary with primary grades. Special attention will be given
to the primary course of study, the different methods of teach­
ing primary reading, arithmetic, spelling, etc. Observation
and practice in the training school will be a part of the course.
PSYCHOLOGY
The fundamental mental structures are taken up in this
course; including among others, sensation, perception, emo­
tion, the will, habits, attention, and memory. The chief stress
Page thirty-seven

THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY

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 referred to in the library.
SENIOR METHODS
This class is carried on in connection with the practice teach­
ing. Its aim is to furnish a basis for practical work in the class
room rather than a theoretical discussion of education. In
order to enable seniors to specialize in the particular kind of
work they are preparing for, the class is divided into three
groups. Primary, Advanced and Rural. Those who elect to ob­
serve and practice in the first four grades, will enter the pri­
mary group; those in the four upper grades, the advanced
group; and those who elect to observe and practice in the
Rural Practice School, the rural group.
HISTORY OF EDUCATION
An epitome of the educational world from the dawn of his­
tory to the present time is taken in this course. This is fol­
lowed by a more careful study of the great educators of each
great epoch of the world’s history. Such persons as Plato,
Jesus, Quintilian, Dante, Luther, Bacon, Comenius, Rosseau,
Lccke, 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 in presenting reports of different subjects which the
class chooses. Everyone in the class is supposed to read some­
thing in the library for each report. Two members make
special preparation for each report, reading the material that
the library 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 first two 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 his­
tory in the grades. No text is used, but the work is based

MADE BY EIGHTH GRADE GIRLS

Page thirty-nine

E

THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY

largely on McMurry’s “How to Study and Teaching How to
Study.”
METHODS IN GEOGRAPHY
The work in this course consists mainly in planning type
lessons for the various grades. Home geography, map study,
illustrative materials in geography and the correlation of
geography are emphasized.
PRINCIPLES OF EDUCATION
This course is required of all who enter the junior year
from first grade high schools who have not had the profes­
sional work required in the freshman and sophomore years.
It is intended as a foundation for the later professional work
of the course. The work is based on McMurray’s “How to
Study,” and Dewey’s “How We Think.”
SCHOOL HYGIENE
There has been a deplorable ignorance on the part of
teachers and school officers of the proper conditions of health
and sanitation in the public schools. A better knowledge on
the part of teachers of the principles of school hygiene and
sanitation will be one step in the bringing about of better con­
ditions. The work of this course will be based on Dresslar’s
School Hygiene.
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
preparation 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 les­
son sketches. Emphasis is placed on the actual teaching work
and criticisms thereof.

RURAL SCHOOL METHODS
This course is primarily [for those Seniors who elect to
prepare to teach in one room country schools. Those who have
made a study of the country school problem have come to feel
that its solution lies largely in the definite preparation of
teachers for service in the country schools. Enlightened and
progressive County Superintendents are beginning to demand
teachers who have a sympathy for and an insight into the
problems of country life. The course is intended to meet this
demand.
Next year the theoretical work of the classroom will be
emphasized and vitalized by observation and pratice in a model
rural school.

DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS
Mr. Siddell, Mr. Sackett, Mr. Stancliffe, Miss Goodrich

A study of the cause for just complaint on the part of
teachers of advanced mathematics leads one to believe that the
trouble is directly traceable to poor work in elementary mathe­
matics. Accordingly the aim here is to develop strength of
work in both mental and written arithmetic in algebra and in
geometry. If a strong foundation is laid in these branches,
the advanced courses in mathematics in normal school, college
or technical school will not present insurmountable difficulties
to the student, nor will county and state examiners of pros­
pective teachers find indications 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 through­
out 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
Page forty two

THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY

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 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 tbe 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
different 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

*
*

nr*

CLASS IN PHYSICS

Page forty-three

THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY

make 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 es­
pecially emphasized. Students before entering should have
completed a full year’s work in algebra as far as quadratics,
so that the usual amount required for college entrance can be
completed in one year. For the benefit of those who have not
had this amount of preparatory work classes for beginners are
provided.
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
authority for statements are insisted upon. Self-reliance and
power of initiative are developed by original exercises Be­
lieving that the power 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 ex­
ercises, choosing, however, a large number of exercises involv­
ing 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
teaching the subject a happy medium is sought between non­
use of mathmatical solids and excessive use of the same, thus
stimulating but not demoralizing the student’s power to form
geometric concepts. Locus problems are emphasized in both
plane and solid geometry.
TRIGONOMETRY
One-half year is devoted to the study of trigonometry.
The work includes definitions and relations of the six trigo­
nometric functions as ratios, circular measure of angles, proofs
of the principal formulas, solution of trigonometric equations,
theory and use of logarithms, and the solutions] of right and
oblique triangles with practical applications.

ADVANCED ALGEBRA
This course is designed for three classes of students, (1)
those college preparatory students who desire to offer for col­
lege entrance the maximum amount required by any college or
technical 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
thoughout the year, the work of the first semester being com­
parable to what is sometimes designated “intermediate alge­
bra,” 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 on or
before studying quadratics. In the first semester the work will
include a review of quadratics, ratio and proportion, theory
of exponents, evolution, theory of quadratics, graphical inter­
pretation of quadratics, binomial theorem for fractional and
negative exponents, arithmetic and geometric progressions.
The work of the second semester will include undetermined
coefficients, premutations and combinations, determinants of
the second, third, and fourth orders, general theory of equa­
tions, and the solution of higher numerical equations.

DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH
Miss Swenarton. Miss Sullivan, Miss Goodrich, 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 rix 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.

THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY

FRESHMAN COURSE
A. Grammar in its elementary phases is studied. The
course deals with the inflectional sides of the language. Analy­
sis 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 term.
A systematic study of the various types of literary composition
is made. The best expression of meaning is the one object of
the course.
C. Spelling is studied as an important art. Four periods
a week are devoted to a careful consideration of rules and
phonetics. It is the purpose of the instructor to develop con­
science and pride in a matter that is often slighted.
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 in­
crease 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 con­
stant 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 require­
ments 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.
Page forty-seven

THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY

B. A similar course in American literature occupies four
hours weekly in the spring term. The text is Halleck’s
"American Literature.”
SENIOR COURSE
A. A rapid review of grammar, with special emphasis on
sentence structure, is required of all seniors. Each student
compiles a catalog of faulty expressions which arouses consid­
erable 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
grammar. The history of the subject is considered. A gen­
eral acquaintance with various texts is expected. Theories of
classroom presentation of the subject are discussed. Individ­
ual members of the class are required to present plans for typ­
ical 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,
the sonnet, the lyric, the epic, and the drama, are considered.
At least one great example of each is studied in detail.
B. One term of advanced English is devoted to daily par­
agraph 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 com­
mented upon before the class.

DEPARTMENT OF SCIENCE
Mr. Snyder, Mr. Baker, Mr. Stancliffe

PHYSICS
In the new four-year course, physics is required during the
entire third year. The work is covered by laboratory prac­
tice and recitation, supplemented by current articles on new in­
ventions. The new physical laboratory is fully equipped for
thirty individual experiments of the National Physics Course,
and by the group system many more can be performed. Each
student is required to perform and present a well written re­
port on twenty-five experiments, and is encouraged to perform
more for which due credit is given. A small laboratory fee of
one dollar a 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; it deals with the phenomena of everyday
Page forty-nine

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.
CHEMISTRY
Chemistry is required in the fourth year of the new course,
forty weeks, five class hours a week. Three class hours are
devoted to classroom work and two to laboratory exercises.
The class work consists of discussion of prepared lessons, de­
monstration by the instructor, and solution of simple chemical
problems. Each student is required to perform in the laboratry at least thirty-five experiments chosen from the list ac­
cepted by the college entrance board.

THE SCHOOL GARDENS

THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY

BIOLOGY
Biology is required in the second year of the new course,
forty weeks, four hours per week. Hunter's Essentials of
Biology with Sharpe’s Laboratory Manual forms the basis of
the work. Coliections of insects and of botanical specimens are
made. Reports are required upon vital topics. Students util­
ize the latest government bulletins and reports in the work as
well as current science literature.
AGRICULTURE AND NATURE STUDY
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 Agriculture” is used as a basis for the text requirements.
A suitable text in nature study will be used in .addition.
SCHOOL GARDEN COURSE
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 method 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 labo­
ratory work will cover the use and care of tools; ways of de­
termining 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 spading, planting, and caring for a plot of suitable
size for children.
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.

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 aiffering from his own. Aside from the pre­
scribed course, the instructor gives numerous short talks upon
the legends, life, and customs of the German people, which
generally lead to independent investigation in the library.
Nine terms of German are offered in the regular Normal
course, although more advanced work can be given if there is
a sufficient number of requests for it.
First Year. Elements of grammar. Elementary German
Grammar, Wesselhoeft.
1. Conversational exercises.
2. Composition.
3. Memory work, simple poems.
4. Reading. German Life, Allen.
Second Year. Grammar review. Detailed study of the
subjunctive mode.
Composition based on texts read.
Conversational exercises based on texts.

6. Memory work. Parts of Das Lied von der Glocke.

HISTORY
Mr. Sackett

History explains the past, interprets the present, and pre­
dicts the future. It is both an informing source and an educa­
tional means. In our history courses such a selection and
presentation of historical facts is attempted as seems most
likely to aid the student to benefit by the latent possibilities of
the subject. The courses are:
1. Ancient. As much as is offered in West’s Ancient
World or Webster’s Ancient History.
2. English. As much as is offered in Cheyney or Andrews,
etc.

OUT DOOR GYMNASTICS

THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY

3. United States. As much as is offered in McLaughlin,
Hart, etc.
Pennsylvania. In the spring term a brief course in the
history of Pennsylvania is given if there is sufficient demand
for it.

CIVICS
Mr. Sackett

The aim of the course in civics is to give the students a
practical vrorking knowledge of American political institutions.
A text is used as the basis of the work, and this is supple­
mented by 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.

GEOGRAPHY
Mr. Stancliffe

A thorough review in geography is given in the junior
year. The course covers one term, five hours a week.
In the last few years geography has assumed new import­
ance in the school curriculum. It has come to be recognized
as the unity of all the sciences. The earth is studied as the
mother of the human race and the shaper of all its activities.
The question ever before the teacher is how does this lesson
or this particular fact bear upon the life of man. The work
consists of the study of earth facts in the light of their influ­
ence on human history.
PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY
Physical geography has long been recognized as the best
introductory subject to the study of the natural sciences. The
work in this course is very much like what has often been
taught in the grades under the title of phenomenology. The
course is primarily a thought course. The aim is not so much
Page fifty-four

THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY

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
papers on assigned subjects, and field work. The region around
Edinboro is rich in glacial markings, and furnishes much inter­
esting matter for field work.

PHYSICAL TRAINING
Mr. Hayes

The physical training department affords an opportunity
for all students to engage in recreative and developing exer­
cise, in order that they may enjoy healthful living, build up
their physique, and keep themselves in a vigorous working con­
dition.
As the reciprocal relations of body and mind are better
undertsood, 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
appreciated. 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.
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 climb­
ing pole; 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 educa­
tive, interesting and enjoyable.

BOYS' CLASS—OUT DOOR GYMNASTICS

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, lec­
tures and demonstrations.
A careful study is made of the anatomical structure of the
human body ; of the physiology of the neuro-muscular system;
of the physiology of metabolism, including all topics connected
with nutrition and excretion, and of the blood, circulation and
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.
Page fifty-six

THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY

The well trained teacher should be familiar with these
agents, and know how to influence them towards the main­
tenance of health and the prolongation of life.

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 agriculture. Domestic science or manual training is re­
quired 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.
A large cooking laboratory has been fitted up during the
present year. Specially designed work tables and full equip­
ment has been installed. Electric stoves are in place on each
table. A large electric range is also used for the baking and
the heavier work. A complete course in cooking is outlined
under Special Courses in this catalog.

MUSIC DEPARTMENT
Miss Thomas, Miss Woodruff

This department offers three courses: viz., a course in
pianoforte, a vocal course and a supervisor’s course in public
school music. The time required for each of these courses is
about two years.
Page fifty-seven

THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY

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, Clementi, Loeschhorn, Czerny, Duverncy,
Matthews, Kohler, Heller, and Sonatas of Beethoven, Mozart]
etc., are supplemented by pieces selected from the best com­
posers. 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

THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY

preparation and observation and in the remaining two terms
the practice 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.
EAR TRAINING CLASS
An ear training class is held for those taking the Public
School Music course, but each one taking either vocal or in­
strumental work is urged to attend this class; much benefit
may be derived from the work done here.
HARMONY
One year of harmony is required for these courses. The
text book, 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 head of the department. The orchestra
plays each morning in chapel and for school functions. The
membership is free and all music is furnished by the school.
GLEE CLUB
I’J 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
instructor is available.
MODEL PIANO PUPILS
A limited number of children will he admitted into the
music department as model students for teachers in piano,
who are receiving supervised instruction in teaching. These
pupils will be charged $3.60 per term for two private lessons
per week. Application should be made to the Director of the
Music Department 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 instruc­
tion for beginners can be arranged.

ART DEPARTMENT
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 in nearly every department of school work.
The supervisors’ course in drawing is one especially adapted
to school work. It requires two years for 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 perspecPage sixty-one

DEPARTMENT OF LATIN
Mr. Anderson

This course, running through four years, aims to impart as
thorough a knowledge as possible of Latin, which lies at the
basis of English and of every other great modern language ;
also to give to the student some intimate acquaintance with
the most powerful Latin writers, who are among the greatest
masters of expression of all time; and to introduce him at first
hand to some of the thoughts and ideals of the great parentcivilization of Europe, and so of America.
For those wishing to pursue the study of Latin further, or

THE LIBRARY
Miss Wilson

The library, situated on the second floor of Norma! Hall, is
a large, well lighted and well ventilated room. All the shelves
are open to students, allowing free access to the eight thousand
volumes, which are catalogued according to the Dewey classifi­
cation. The library contains also, about four thousand govern­
ment 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;
the copies of “Poole’s Index’’ and “Reader’s Guide to Period­
ical Literature’’ make magazine articles on any subject easily
accessible.
The library is well supplied with daily and weekly news­
papers, many of which are sent by the courtesy of the pub­
lishers for the benefit of the students from their locality.

charge of $4.75 per week will be made, this rate to take effect
at noon on the day following the close of the term and to cease
at noon on the day of opening of the next term as indicated by
the school calendar for the year.
The State pays the tuition of all students who are seven­
teen years of age, and who sign an agreement to teach two
full terms in the common schools of the State. In case of a
deficit in State Aid, students in the different normal schools
will receive their pro rata .share of the appropriation. The
State has paid all in recent years. Students not receiving
State Aid will be required to pay tuition at the rate of $1.60
per week.

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 that a plant has been
established for them at a cost of
over $300,000 of the people’s
money.
It means that this plant is
maintained in the matters of heat,
light, and care, at the expense of
the commonwealth.
It means that the entire force
of instructors is paid by the State.
It means that the cost to the
student is only for board and
personal expenses.
It means that an education which would cost four hundred
dollars a year elsewhere is furnished at a cost of one hundred
and seventy-five dollars.
It means, in practical result, that the State lends money
for the education of its young; that the loan is to be paid, not
in cash, but in two
year’s teaching serv­
ice, and that that
service, besides dis­
charging the debt,
brings the one who
renders if a reason­
able wage.
ADVANTAGES
Edinboro offers the
Page seventy-one

THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY

A
advantages of a school atmos­
phere charged with the spirit
of good work, of honest think­
ing, and of plain dealing. This
spirit is manifested in every
department of school life, in
the care of grounds and build­
ings, as well as in classes in
psychology and mathematics.
As a State school, everything
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, Cam­
bridge Springs and Meadville on the hour, stopping in front of
the school campus. In Erie, baggage checks should be deliv­
ered to the Erie Transfer Company, which will transfer bag­
gage to the depot of the Erie
Traction Company. 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
Page seventy-two

w

THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY

Stz
taken. This deposit,
minus rental, is re­
turned to the student
on return of the
books.
ROOMS
Rooms in Reeder
and Haven
Halls
should be reserved,
as there are not
enough to accommo­
date all who apply.
Reservation should be made as early as possible. Students
may room and board with private families in the town with
the consent of the Principal.
In case the dormitories cannot accommodate all who apply
for rooms, permission will be given to room with private
families and board in the school dining hall.
There is on file at the office a list of all householders who
have accommodations for stu­
dents. These householders, in
receiving students into their
homes, become responsible to the
officers of the school for the con­
duct of their tenants. Any dis­
regard for the rules is at once re­
ported. 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
themselves. 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 wi.sh to do
Page seventy-three

THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY

their own laundry
work may do so in
the laundry povided
by the school.
CHURCH AND
RELIGION
As a State school,
religious denomina­
tional ism is barred.
There are in Edinboro
four prosperous con­
gregations which students are urged to join in public wor­
ship. The Presbyterians, the Adventists, the Baptists and the
Methodists are represented. The Catholic boys and girls usually
attend services at Cambriage Springs. Among the students
there are various religious organizations that are prosperous
and effective in the students’ lives.
While the normal school senses the supreme place of relig­
ion, it clearly recognizes that the mission of the school is to
the intellectual side of life. It believes that in training hon­
est and consistent workers it is best serving the interest of the
State and the individual. The province of the chucrh is not
infringed upon.
LITERARY SOCIETIES
The Potter and the Philo societies are the centers of one
phase of student inter­
est. Both societies are
doing effective work,
and enjoy a friendly riv­
alry.
LECTURE COURSE
In the normal lecture
course an attempt is
made to bring to the
students a series of pub­
lic entertainments that
Page seventy-four

THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY

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 7:46 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 him­
self 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
whole.some situation for just the
type of educational work that a
normal school must do.
PERMITS
As the school at any hour is ex­
pected to be able to locate any
student who is enrolled, it be­
comes necessary to require that
each student ask a permit from
the office before leaving town.
When a student is absent from
Page seventy-five

THE EDIHBORO QUARTERLY

class for any cause, he
must procure a written
permit from the Princi­
pal before he can re­
sume his school work in
any class.
VISITORS
All visitors should so
time their visits as to
interfere as little as pos­
sible 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 ac­
count of sickness or other necessity.
HIGH SCHOOL CREDITS
The matter of high school credits may be settled by con­
sulting the conditions of admission under courses of study in
this catalogue
DIPLOMAS
Candidates for grad­
uation are examined by
the state hoard of ex­
aminers 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.
