SUMMER TERM OF E. S.'N. S.
For years there has been a demand for a Summer School that
would fit the work of the Normal School to the needs of those
teachers who cannot attend the regular sessions.
Edinboro heard the call and was reticent. Not because the
call was not real. Not because we were not in sympathy with those

NORMAL AND RECITATION HALLS

teachers who are compelled to teach nine months of the year. We
were slow to answer because we wished to offer a short course that
really fitted into the lives of the teachers.
The Summer Term of the Edinboro State Normal School begins
Monday, June 23rd, and ends August 1st, 1919.
The work of this term is arranged to meet the needs of teachers

EDINBORO QUARTERLY

who are preparing for Provisional, Professional or State Permanent
Certificates.
The program offers all the work required for the three grades
of certificates in Pennsylvania. Special care has been exercised to
avoid all conflicts between the groups.

DORMITORIES
All students living away from home are required to room and
board in the dormitories. This is a privilege rather than a restric­
tion, and fosters a unified, happy school life. The rules of behaviour
are merely such as are dictated by customary politeness and due
social regard for the rights of other people.

PRIVATE MUSIC LESSONS
The instructor in music will arrange periods for private lessons
in either voice or piano at the following rates:
One lesson per week for six weeks................................ J 6.00
Two lessons per week for s!x weeks............................ 10.00
Piano practice, one 45 minute period daily............. 1.50
Plano practice, each additional period.........................

SCHOOL OF METHODS
Teachers expecting to teach in northwestern Pennsylvania next
year will find of immediate value the courses offered in school man­
agement by the six superintendents of this section. Each super­
intendent will serve for one of the six weeks, and each will give
what he most wants his teachers to know and observe. Teachers
should plan to get the broader outlook for practical work that the
teaching of these different men will give. The work will amount
to a school of methods for each county in northwestern Pennsyl­
vania.

HOW TO GET TO EDINBORO
Edinboro is on the Northwestern Pennsylvania Railway, an
electric line providing frequent service. The line connects with
the following roads:
At Erie with the New York Central
Pennsylvania
Bessemer
At Cambridge Springs with the Erie
At Meadvllle with Erie, main line
Erie, Franklin branch
Bessemer

vania

BAGGAGE

All baggage should be checked over the Northwestern Pennsyl­
vania line to- Normal School. This insures its being left at the
Normal School entrance instead of down town.

WHY GO TO SUMMER SCHOOL ?
Summer schools are not merely the fashionable thing these
days; they are undoubtedly a necessity for the progressive teacher.
There are at least three good reasons lor going to summer school:
To get a stronger grasp on knowledge.
To acquire up-to-date methods.
To share, confirm, and elevate Ideals.

WHY COME TO EDINBORO ?
There are three good reasons for choosing Edinboro as the
place to go to school:
The faculty is able and sympathetic.
The school spirit is one of joy in work.
The natural surroundings are lovely.

For purposes of summer enjoyment a school in direct contact
with nature has the decided advantage.
The Edinboro State Normal School is not merely in a prosperous
village; it is most delightfully situated on the south border of
Edinboro. Though only a few minutes walk from the stores at the
center and located on a residential street, its buildings overlook
open country and give a view of distant woods.
The campus, with a long frontage on a street bordered with
tall maple trees, is spacious and is planted with a variety of trees
effectively placed. Numerous lawn settees are provided for the
convenience of those who wish seats in the shade and there Is
always the grassy lawn for those more unconventional. The spa-

12

EDINBORO QUARTERLY

A T HOME IN HA VEN HALL

clous porch of Haven Hall with Its benches also offers Inviting
outdoor rest.
Birds build In the trees of the campus and under the eaves
of the buildings and add their life, color, and music to the scene.
Last season the favorites were a pair of Baltimore orioles who
built a well-concealed nest on the drooping end of an evergreen
bougn.
Art has aided nature by provision for outdoor sports. A spa­
cious athletic field and a number of tennis courts adjacent to the
gymnasium give ample opportunity for as strenuous outdoor sport
as may be desired.
Delightful as these natural surroundings are, a prospective
summer student would inquire also about material comforts. Here
too the Edinboro Normal School is amply equipped. The buildings
are brick, attractive architecturally, and well planned for their
special uses. This year has seen the removal of two old frame
buildings and their going has meant added beauty of view from
Haven Hall.
Normal Hall is the largest recitation building and contains
besides class rooms and laboratories, the offices, library and audi-

torium. The library is a very large, airy room well furnished with
books and current magazines and affords a pleasant, quiet place
to study. A librarian is in attendance to loan books and to assist
in reference work. The auditorium is the meeting place for chapel,
lectures and entertainments. It is large enough to accommodate
mass meetings of the community.
The dormitories are commodious, light, airy. There are no
poor rooms; all are comfortable and pleasant. They are so fully
furnished that little but added ornament is required. Reeder Hall
affords suites of bedroom and slttlngroom. Both dormitories have
hot and cold water at all times. All rooms are electric lighted.
A modern laundry has recently been installed and students
can readily arrange to use it. There are set tubs for washing and
a number of electric irons.
Meals at the Edinboro Normal are promptly served from an
up-to-date kitchen and are eaten in a large and beautiful new
diningroom. It is a pleasure merely to be in the room and feel
its beauty. The cooking Is good and the provision is ample. A
large garden makes possible a continuous supply of fresh vegetables.
Altogether, outdoors and in, the campus and buildings of Edin-

EDINBORO QUARTERLY

boro Normal make for a pleasant, profitable school life. One may
both enjoy and study and the combination makes happy students.
The country surrounding Edinboro lends much enchantment
to one who would be Impressed with Nature’s beauty and stiilness.
Skies were never so blue, sunrises so gorgeous, nor sunsets so
ailuring. After a day’s work, the beauty of Edinboro Lake in its
serene after-glow is a most restful and uplifting climax.
Bird lovers may feast to their hearts’ content. The shores
of the lake abound with specimens or rarity and beauty. The inlet
is a continuous chorus of songsters from dawn to darkness.
Edinboro has been greatly favored in having the lake at its
northern extremity. In summer the number, quantity and size of
the fish have always attracted flsheririen who have found it the
most restful and pleasant way to get away from the business world.
Muskalonge, yellow perch, black bass and crappie abound in plenty
—and the joy of it is, they Ire catchable. Rods and lines are the
style in Edinboro during the summer season.
’
Almost every spot along the shdre could be made available for
some style of recreation; already many summer homes have been
built and natural picnic grounds placed. Oak Tree Landing is
easily approached both from the road and from the lake, dry wood
is found in the grove near by, and the “bacon bats’’ and “wiener
roasts” prove a sure cure for tired minds and bodies.
The real picnic grounds with tables ready for use are at the
top of the hill in the grove, and an excellent spring has been well
piped, so that water facilities are not lacking.
Speaking of picnics and hikes to a grove, we must not neglect
“Billings Grove.” It Is not too far and the natural beauties there
lend many charms. The ravine is so full of adventure, it lures the
lover of the wild.
Green Point, Lakeside, and many other unnamed points have
been favorite rendezvous for many happy crowds, approached either
by boat or by path from the main road. One favorite spot on the
Inlet, Taylor’s Landing, is worthy of mention and here many an
early breakfast has been ravenously devoured by earnest blrdlovers.
Beautiful it is in every sense of the word at that time of day!
The outlet has winding curves and is one of the favorite haunts
of paddlers and rowers. Boats and canoes are for rent either at
the Jervis boat-landing on the outlet or the “Allen Boat Livery”
on the lake.

The lake Is not Edinhoro’s only source of delight. The country
is level enough to make hiking a real pleasure.
Along Perry Lane the trees form such an arch of shade, one
has only to wander out Waterford street, turn to the right at the
first country turn and find himself there—returning to Edinboro by
way of the Darrow farm and thus completing the square. The
Normal grounds are within eye’s range from every point and yet
one feels refreshed to have gone so far.

enjoyments of Edinboro students.
Edinboro lies over similar
geological veins and in some places valuable wells have been drilled.
The water supply here is of a superior quality.
For one seeking healthful enjoyment and recreation as well
as educational inspiration and advancement Edinboro offers many
inducements. The spirit of recitation, recreation and study is most
contagious and in truest harmony with the gladness of surrounding
nature.
