PHYSICS.
Physics is taught du:ring the Fall and Winter terms of the
Senior year. This department is thoroughly ('quipped 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 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 powers of the student.
A partial list of the apparatus for illustrating pl;inciples of
Physics includes instruments of measurements,length, weight and
capacity; instruments for illustrating physical forces. for illustrating principles o.fmachinery, 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 neecUes,
etc., etc.
An imported high grade hand motor hils been added to the
electric apparatus during the past year.
BOTANY.
The subject of Botany is taught during the Spring term of
the Senior year. The living plant is made the basis of instruction, GrllY'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 magnifying
power are always in readiness for examining the delicate and intricate portions of plants and flowers. Thus ana1ysis of plant
growth and infloresence can be conducted to a great degree of

(2.) To write out in list form seventy-five observedfacts in
referenceto eachof ten plants selectedby the instructor.
(3.) To write out an analysis of twenty-five plants, containing such facts as are necessary
PHYSIOLOGY.
for classifying each plant
As the subject of Physiology is now taught in all thc Public
Schools,and students are more or less familiar with the subject
before entering the Normal School, the work in this department
is devoted exclusively to a comprehensive and thorough 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 the health in any school room.
As aids to the study of Anatomy there are exhibited in
presence of the students two life size skelet,ons-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 st~dent. 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
Capillaries,blood corpuscles,nerve filaments, lymphatics, action
of narcotics on digestion, etc., et?

As aids to the Study of Physical Geography there are available at all times maps, charts, globes; also apparatus for illustrating relative sizes,positions and movements of the bodies of the
solar 8ystem. 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!

LITERATURE.

The English Department includes Grammar, Rhetoric and
LitArature. The structure of the language, letter writing, punctuation and such composition as will be of URein 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 ~xpression and criticism of original work is
a part of the whole course, while the study of the principles of
Rhetoric prepares the student to appreciate the work in Literature which follows. Fourteen weeks are devoted to the
study of Literature. One complete production from eachof four
English Classics is given minute and critical study. This is
supplemented by studies of the lives and 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. We strive to show the close
relationship which exists between the Latin language and our
own. English words from I,atin rootl1are traced to the original.
The life and campaigns of Cregarare 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 subject of interesting talks with the instructor.

ARIT"METIC.

j

I,'

The work in Arithmetic is divided into two grades.
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 knowledge
of the subject, and the power of independent thought, so as to
obtain results rapidly and correctly. Mechanical processesand
routine methods are of no valu~. Students here are trained to
logical habits of thought, and are stimulated to a high degree of

intellectual
energy.

,I ALGEBRA.

The work in Algebra is divided into three divisions, as follows;
One class completes the book as far as Fractions.
I
Another begins with Fractions and completes the book as
far as Quadratic Equat.ions.
A third begins with Quadratics and finishes the book.
We recogniz~ the fact that Algebra is essential in all the
higher mathematics, hence thoroughness is our aim. Three successive terms are given to this branch. I t is commenced early in
the course,and prosecuted with vigor.

j

.GEOMETRY.

It is generally concededthat the best mental drill is derived
from the demonstration of geometrical theorems. In no other
study can the languagearid 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.
Two terms in the Senior year are devoted to the subject of
Geometry and Mensuration-twenty-one weeks to Geometry,and
sevenweeks to Mensuration.
PENMANSHIP.

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 teachersof Penmanship! a
special department of Penmanship is s\}stained. The complete
course embracesplain writing, analysis, fancy writing, blackboard
writing, card writing, flourishing and -lettering. The work is
thorough and effective.
BOOKKEEPING.

An excellent opportunity for taking Bookkeeping in single
and double entry is offered. In this practical age every teacher
should have such a knowledge of the principles of Commercial
Law, Bookkeeping and Business Forms as to enable him to transact
business
intelligently.

DR.AWINO.

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 as possible. Copying
is not drawing. Students are taught to draw from simple models,
forms and objects, and advanced by degreesto various different
modifications of these, and to plant and animal forms.
MODEL SCHOOL.

l'his department has set apart for its use three large study
rooms, with a seating capacity of not less than two hundred and
seventy-five, besides ten recitation rooms, all of which are well!
equipped with apparatus. The light and ventilation is perfect.
The Model School is under the immediate direction of a
principal and two experienced teachers,whose duty it is to guide
the pupils into the right cha.nnels of "study. The duty of the
prin.cipal is to develop methods and devicesto be carrieq out by
the practice teachers under his charge.
This department has a double duty to perform: First, to see
that the children of the Public Schoolsare well taught and disciplined. Second,to establish in the mind of each graduate of
the Northwestern State Normal School the true relation between
theory and practice. To this end the Principal of the Model
School, and the teacher of Methods in the Normal, must aim.

"

MUSIC DEPAR.TMENT.

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 keep pace with the
mechanical execution by the study of pieces from the works of
the masters, especialattention being given to the cultivation of a
musical touch and a correct interpretation of the standard works.
VOICE.

Vocal music is universally concededto be the highest type of
music. We owe it to ourselves and to society to bring out the
capabilities of our voices, and if specially endowed we should
have our gifts carefully trained.*
.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, phra~ing, and many other things which perfect
the artistic singer.
As Ferd. Sieber's school of voice building is excelled by none,
it is follow,ed,and in connection therewith, songsand recitatives
and arias of oratorios and operasreceive due attention.
.
VIOLIN AND 'CELLO.

This important branch of art is under the charge of a com'"
petent and experienced teacher. No other branch of music has
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 sweepfrom 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.
As there is no such thiag as becoming a skillful violinist
without a good technic, it is absolutely necessarythat the pupil
acquire a graceful and flexible movement of the wrist, and a cor-

rect management of the left hand. To meet this the following
studies and etudes from the masters have been selected:
First Grade-Henning's First Book and Hermann's Book, Vol. I.
Also Kayser's Etudes (First Book).
Second Grade-Kayser's Second Book, Hermann's Book, Vol. II.,
and finger exercises and technical studies by Henry Schradieck. Also
easy sonatas and teaching pieces.
Third Grade-Kreutzer's forty celebrated studies, studi!'s from
Campagnoli, Fiorillo and Spohr. In this grade the pupil also studies
the beautiful solos of De Beriot, Viotti, Leonard, Wieniawski and
others.
THE 'CELLO.

This beautiful solo instrument also receivesspecialattention,
and is taught from Piatti's CelebratedSchool. Pupils, as soon
as competent, have the advantage of orchestra practice and
ensemble
playing in both violin and 'cello departments.
HARnONY.

A study of Elementary Harmony is absolutely essential' to
every musician. The department offers a course covering two
.years, which inyludes a study of scales, intervals, naming and
writing the same from sound, concord und discord, voice leading,
two and three part writing, formation and progression of chords,
treatment of dominant and secondary seventh chords, cadences,
transposition, suspen@ions,sequences,exceptional chord treatment, four part writing from given basseEl,
analysis metre, writing
chorals, hymn tunes, quartets, etc.
ADVANTAGES.

Music Hall is devoted to the exclusive use of the department,
and is provided with a pleasant hall in which Concerts.Musicales,
Lectures, etc., are held. The department is also supplied with
pianos, organs, band and orchestral instruments. An orchestra
is maintained, which pupils are allowed to enter when sufficientlyadvanced. The Musicales, Recitals, Lectures, etc., are free to
all pupils in music. The sight singing and chorus class, which
meets daily, is one of the free classes.
.The frequent Musicales, Concerts and Recitals are of great
benefit to our pupils, giving them an opportunity to becomeacquainted with the best class of music and musicians, and at the
same time Dractical experience in performing before others.

They have the benefit of the same moral and mental discipline.
Also the same privileges, in addition to, those offered by the
music department.
While it is optional, it is desired that all music pupils pursue at least one or two branches in the N orillal Department, in
order that they may becomeeducated and intelligent musicians
and teachers.
BEGINNERS.

Beginners, and those not far advanced, are especially welcome, as they possessfew or none of the erroneousideas and bad I
habits which are so easily formed by wrong teaching or careless
practice, and which pro\:e in many cases almost insurmountable
obstaclesto high cultivation. They, therefore, receive more readily the correct fundamental principles, and can, as a rule, make
steady and rapid progress,uninterrupted by the tedious process
of unlearning bad habits.
REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION.

Candidates for graduation must complete the course in Harmony and one other branch, and in addition must complete at
least three grades in a third; as, for example, anyone finishing
Voicc and Harmony must also finish three grades in Piano.
To those finishing the course are given the diploma of the
school, signed by the Examining ffoard, Faculty and Officers.

LITERAR.Y SOCIETIES.

There are two literary societiesconnected with the school:the Potter and the Everett. These societieshold weekly meetings, each in its richly furnished and carpeted room. There are
also several debating clubs which meet weekly, affording most
excellent opportunities for gaining elegance in expression,grace
in appearance and force in 11elivery. All students are recommended to join one of these societies.
LIBRARY.
The Library occupies the second floor in the new Normal
Hall building. It contains about six thousand carefully selected
volumes. It is in careof an experienced and intelligent Librarian,
whose pleasure it is to assist students in learning how to utilize
such a VBstcollection of books.
.
Upon the reading tables are found the principal daily and
weekly papers, the best scientific publications and all the leading
magazinesof current literature.
Students are privileged to use the Library whenever it is

open.

MUSEUM.
In the Library and upon the floor above is the justly celebrated Museum of the Normai School. This was enriched several
years ago by the purchase of the famous "Ennis Collection."
Here the student of Natural History can find a large and valuable
coll!:'ction of specimens, consisting of mounted animals, birds,
alcoholic specimens of fishes, reptiles, etc." Also a variety of
corals, shells, minerals and Indian relics.
