HISTORICAL. SKETCH
The Old Era
There was enough of the spirit of sacrifice and pioneer daring
in the establishmeilt of the Edinboro Academy in 1857 and in
the acquiring of a State Normal School charter in 1861, to make
the early history of the Edinboro State Normal School of more
than passing interest. The establishment and development of a
school under the adverse conditions of a thinly populated district,
and in spite of the handicap of poor transportation facilities, con­
stitutes a very real tribute to the ability and energy of the trustee
boards and the teaching staffs of the earlier years. The whole
story constitutes an historic background that is wholesomely
American in its challenge to the present day officials, faculty,
and students.
The New Era
No one can disparage the purpose or the results of the period
from 1861 to 1914. In that time the school was, however, a

hybrid institution. Under the provisions of the Normal School
Act of 1857, it was possible to organize a school on a half private
and half state-owned basis. Under such a regime the Edinboro
Normal existed until full state ownership came about in 1914,
by the purchase of all privately owned stock by state authorities.
In this new era that has come to pass there is a new and even
greater promise of usefulness to old Edinboro Normal. Freed
from local control, which, no matter how good, always has the
attendant dangers of a too provincial government, the institution
has rapidly acquired a new appreciation of its mission to its
patrons and its part in the educational affairs of the common­
wealth.
Full state ownership has already meant a great deal at Edin­
boro. The immediate outlook in both material and spiritual pro­
gress is indeed heartening.
The Plant
The campus consists of a twenty-eight acre plot on the south
border of the Boro of Edinboro. There are eight substantial
and commodious buildings. There is every facility in the way
of chapel, library, dormitories, laboratories, recitation rooms,
and modem gymnasium. Wholesome conditions for working,
playing, and resting are all of equal concern to the authorities.
The buildings in the order of their age are Old Academy Hall,
Science Hall, Music Hall, Normal Hall, Recitation Hall, Haven
Hall, The Gymnasium, and Reeder Hall. An extensive addition
to Haven Hall, the girls’ dormitory, has just been completed. It
gives the school, in addition to the most beautiful school dining
room in the state, a new kitchen with all modem equipment, a
canning kitchen, a laundiy, and store rooms.
During the past year the State has spent $61,000 in additions

and improvements to the plant. These improvements include, in
addition to those mentioned above, new laboratories in Physics,
Chemistry and Agriculture, a modern vacuum steam heating sys­
tem and new quarters for the help.
Purpose
The purpose of the Edinboro State Normal School is the
training of teachers. In this single aim all other departments
have been set aside. It is a school of specialization in the pro­
fession of greatest promise for the young people of this generation. To young men as well as to young women, the Edinboro
State Normal School strives to give the vision and the equipment
for the task of shaping the destiny of the republic, which last is a
statement as true as it may seem trite.

COURSES OF STUDY
(a) Regular Normal:
The Edinboro State Normal School offers two normal
courses, a four year course for those who have not been gradu­
ated from a first class high school and a two year course for
those who have. These courses are outlined by terms on pages
17 and 18.
CONDITIONS OF ADMISSION
Four Year Course
Students who have a certificate of graduation from the
eighth grade may be admitted to the freshman year. It is strong­
ly urged that all candidates for admission to the freshman year
shall have completed one year’s work in Latin and algebra.
pa.?« fifteen

THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY

Graduates of third class high schools are admitted without
examination to the s^homore year and graduates of second class
high schools, to the junior year, on trial.
Two Year Course
The two year course is an adaptation of the junior and senior
years of the four year course for graduates of first class high
schools. Any graduate of a first class high school who has had
two years of a foreign language is admitted to this course. Stu­
dents who have not had at least two units in science and two
units in foreign language are required to make up the deficiency
before graduation from the normal.
(b)

Teachers" Review Courses:
The Edinboro State Normal School maintains, each term, re­
view courses in the common branches for those preparing to take
the county examinations for provisionl and professional certifi­
cates. It is strongly urged that no one take these courses who has
not had at least two years of high school work.
These courses are more fully explained on page 21.
(c)

High School and College Preparatory Course :
This course is maintained for juniors and seniors in the
Edinboro High School and for those who wish to prepare definitely .for college, and who do not care to take the professional
training required in the normal courses.
The graduates of the Edinboro State Normal School who are
entering colleges and universities are fast earning for their alma
mater an enviable reputation for thorough scholarship. Within
the last year, more than fifty graduates entered twenty different
colleges and universities with standings varying from freshman
to junior, depending on the insittution entered and the course
taken. The High School course is outlined by terms on page 23.

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 Certjfic.\te
Section 1302. Any county or district superintendent in this
commonwealth may issue provisional certificates to persons who
pass satisfactory examinations in spelling, reading, writing, phy­
siology and hygiene, geography, English grammar, arithmetic,
elementary algebra, history of the United States and of Penn­
sylvania, civil government, including state and local government,
school management and methods of teaching, valid for one year
in the districts or district under the supervision of the superin­
tendent 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 approval of this act, shall teach more
than five terms on provisional certificates.
No superintendent
shall make valid by endorsement a provisional certificate issued
by another superintendent.
Professional Certificate
Section 1304. Teachers in the public schools who have
taught successfully under the supervision of any county or dis­
trict superintendent in this commonwealth for not less than two

full school terms, and who have in the examinations of such
county or district superintendent for a professional certificate
passed a thorough examination in the branches of study required
for a provisional certificate, as well as in any two of the following
subjects; namely, vocal music, drawing, English literature, plane
geometry, general history, physical geography, elementarj' botany,
elementary zoology, or elementary physics, and shall satisfy said

and intelligently read two of the books on pedagogy approved for
such purposes by the superintendent of public instruction, shall
receive professional certificates, which certificates shall be valid
for three years in the schools under the supervision of the county
or district superintendent by whom they were issued.

ONE YEAR PROVISIONAL CERTIFICATE COURSE
No one should think of teaching school who has not had at
least two years’ work in a good high school and one year of pro­
fessional training in the Normal School.
The following one year course is suggested for those who
wish to prepare for the county superintendent’s examinations:

HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE PREPARATORY
COURSE
General Statement
While the primary business of the Edinboro State Normal
School is the training of teachers, the school is compelled to
maintain courses in all the subjects required for admission to
college. Through the regular normal course and through a
special college preparatory course, the school has prepared hun­
dreds of boys and girls for college.
Within the last year more than fifty graduates of the Edin­
boro State Normal School have entered colleges and universities
all over the United States. Some of the institutions which our
graduates have entered within the last year are. The University
of Washington, Leland Stanford, Jr. University, The University
of Michigan, Chicago University, Oberlin College, Mount UnionScio College, Hiram College, the University of Pittsburgh, Alle­
gheny College, Pennsylvania State College, Grove City College,
The University of Pennsylvania, Columbia University, Teachers’
College, and New York University.
These fifty or more graduates entered college with classifi­
cations varying from freshmen to junior. Several standard col­
leges admit our graduates to sophomore year in all courses and
some of the best schools of education and departments of educa­
tion admit those of our graduates who entered the normal after
having completed a first class high school, to the junior year in
the B. S. course in education.
Requirements for Graduation
The requirements for graduation in this course are the com­
pletion of sixteen units of work.
A unit is defined as the equivalent of the work required in a
course of thirty-six weeks, four recitations a week.

Training.

It is the aim of the training course to give prospective teachers experience in teaching under the best methods. Individual
work and originality on the part of the student-teachers is put at
f a premium, but instruction in the best methods of teaching each
subject is given. All teaching is done in the Edinboro Public

I; school
and in the Rural Training School at McLane, which
makes the work more real than that of the ordinary model school.
I Each student is supposed to take full charge of the room while
; teaching, and no interference or help is given, unless it is evident

II that
she is unable to discipline and give proper instruction; then
of course, the critic teacher is at hand to take charge.
! The course of study is made as flexible as possible. Manual
, training, music and drawing are taught in all the grades by
student teachers under the supervision of the instructors in these
I branches at the Normal.
Thirty-six weeks, five periods, or four weeks, three hours

Education XIII. Ethics.
This course is offered as an elective in the senior year. It
includes consideration of the origin and development of our pres­
ent ethical standards of living, the relations of moral and civil

law and the purpose and methods of instruction in the science
of morals in the elementary schools.
Education XIV. Sociology.
More and more it is being recognized that the mission of the
school is largely social and that the teacher is a social worker.
No teacher can become really great in her profession without a
clear understanding of present day social problems.

Mathematics I. Algebra.
In algebra the student is led inductively to enlarged and
different number concepts, to understand and interpret under­
lying principles and to apply them intelligently. Algebra and
arithmetic are closely correlated. This course seeks to make
page forty-three

THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY

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 especi­
ally emphasized. Students, before entering, should have com­
pleted 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.

The aim in this course is to develop accuracy, facility and
rapidity of work, both oral and written. Clearness and concise­
ness of explanation and truthfulness in the use of equations are
insisted upon. Rules, as such, are not learned but are logically
evolved; thus the “why” explains and helps to establish the “how”
in the mind of the student.

Plane Geometry.

In this course, accuracy in definition, logical reasoning, clear­
ness of expression, and authority for statements are insisted upon.
Self-reliance and power of initiative are developed by original
exercises. Believing that the power to attack and solve original
exercises is the true test of one’s geometric ability, it is the plan
of the teacher to make extensive use of such exercises, choosing,
however, a large number of exercises involving a few principles
each, rather than a much smaller number of very difficult prob­
lems.

In this course a happy medium is sought between non-use

Mathematics VII.

Arithmetic

and

Its Methods.

There are two distinct parts to this course, a general review
of arithmetic and the pedagogy of the subject.
The work in arithmetic in this course aims at the thorough
scholastic equipment of teachers for work in the grades, and in­
cludes not only a general review of textbook work but a more
comprehensive discussion and investigation of related topics than
is found in textbooks. Some of the topics thus treated in this
course are comparison of advantages of partnership concerns vs.
corporations, life insurance a duty, the best kinds of insurance
for persons in their twenties, recent developments in the field
of property and other insurance, benefits received by the taxpayer
in return for taxes paid, how a national bank is established, work
page forty-six

THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY

page forty-seven

of clearing house banks, the New York clearing house, stock
exchanges and their business, marginal buying and selling, funda­
mental principles of sound investments, etc.
As the study of methods in arithmetic follows logically the
review of the subject, so chronologically this work follows the
completion of the review of the subject matter. The aim in this
part of the course is the preparation of efficient teachers of arith­
metic in both primary and grammar grades. The course includes
assigned readings on the history and development of the teaching
or arithmetic, lectures, reports, dictation, illustrative lessons by
pupil teachers with criticisms, class discussions, the writing of
lesson plans and lesson sketches. Emphasis is placed on the
actual teaching work and criticisms thereof. No text book is
used but the following are recommended for individual owner­
ship: Teaching of Elementary Arithmetic, by Smith, How to
Teach Arithmetic, by Brown and Coffman, and A Textbook on
Teaching of Arithmetic, by Stamper.

Spanish are treated as living languages.
French I.
The first year is devoted to the acquirement of a correct
pronunciation, a working vocabulary, and such an acquaintance
page forty-eight

with elementary grammatical principles as will enable the student
to read simple narrative prose. The first thirty-nine lessons of
Fraser and Squair’s French Grammar are covered during the
year', together with the mastery of the regular conjugations and
the most common of the irregular verbs. This work is supple­
mented by the reading of easy texts and by constant practice in
composition.
Textbooks: French Grammar, by Fraser and Squair, Easy
French, by Lebon, and Preparatory French Reader, by Super.
Forty weeks, four periods.

In the second year the study of more technical construction
and idioms is required, together with the complete mastery of
all irregular verbs. There will be constant practice in compo­
sition. Conversation on selected topics will be given.

Spanish I.
The first year will be devoted to learning the rudiments
of grammar and the most common irregular verbs and idioms.
Spanish will be used as much as possible in the classroom to in­
sure correct pronunciation. Constant practice in composition will
be given. This work is supplemented by the reading of easy texts.

DEPARTMENT OF PENMANSHIP
MR. STANCUFF

Penmanship I. Penmanship and Methods.
The importance of this subject for teachers is now acknowl­
edged by school authorities everywhere. All seniors are re­
quired to have a certificate of proficiency in penmanship. There
are classes in both the Zaner and in the Bennett methods of
teaching penmanship. Legibility and speed are the two aims
kept constantly in view. Two terms of study and practice are
usually necessary for beginners who are finger movement writers.
Special lessons in methods are given.

GENERAL INFORMATION
What Edinboro Means.

W'ithout considering the aim of the state, the Edinboro State
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 education which would cost four hundred
dollars a year elsewhere is furnished at a cost of two hundred
and twenty dollars here.
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 years’ teaching service, and that that service,
besides discharging the debt, brings the one who renders it a
reasonable wage.
Advantages.

Edinboro offers the advantages of a school atmosphere
charged with the spirit of good work, of honest thinking, and of
plain dealing. This spirit is manifested in every department of
school life, in the care of the grounds and buildings, 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 the lines of the Northwestern Penn­
sylvania Railway Company. Cars leave Erie on the half hour,
Cambridge Springs and Meadville on the hour, stopping in front
of the school campus. In Erie, baggage checks should be de­
livered to the Erie Transfer Company, which will transfer baggage to the depot of the Northwestern Pennsylvania Railway
Company. All baggage should be checked “Normal School.”
At Edinboro.

Edinboro, students should go immediately to
the principal’s office in Normal Hall to register. One-half of
the term’s expenses is payable on registration; the balance be­
comes 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 taken. This deposit, minus rental,
is refunded on the return of the books.
Rooms.

Rooms in Reeder and Haven Hall should be reserved, as
there are not enough to accommodate all who apply. Reserva­
tion 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 students. Some landlords have speci­
ally fitted rooms for those students, who, because their homes are
near enough to permit a week-end visit, wish to board thempage slxty-flve

THE EDINBORO QUARTERLY

selves. While the practice is not as common as it was a few
years ago, for some students it both economical and pleasant.
Church

and

Religion.

As a state school, religious denominationalism is barred.
There are in Edinboro four prosperous congregations, which
students are urged to join in public worship. The Presbyterians,
the Adventists, the Baptists and the Methodists are represented.
The Catholic boys and girls usually attend the services at Cam­
bridge Springs. Among the students there are various religious
organizations, that are prosperous and effective in the students’
lives.
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 7:4s a. m. to 3:30 p. m., and from
7 :oo 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 himself 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 wholesome situation for just the
type of educational work that a normal school must do.
Student Activities.

For a detailed account of life on the campus and of student
oi^nizations, write for a copy of the booklet Edinboro Life.
