27
OF THB TWELFTH DISTRICT.
EXPENSES IN NORMAL DEPARTMENT.
Elsewhere we learn that the State appropriates fifty cents per
week for each student over seventeen years of age who pursues
professional studies for at least twelve consecutive weeks, and
fifty dollars for each graduate. These amounts are credited on
tuition and other accounts, leaving the student to pay twenty-one
dollars less than full rates for Junior year, and seventy-one dollars
less than regular rates for Senior year.
Tuition per year, $51 ; deducting State aid, $30. The tuition
per term is divided as follows: Fall term, sixteen weeks, $i8.
Winter term, twelve weeks, $16. Spring term, fourteen weeks,
$17. With the usual deductions of fifty cents per week. State aid.
Tuition per week, for parts of term, $1.45.
The rooms in the dormitories are furnished with all necessary
articles. The rent is $6 to $10 for Fall term, and $4 to $8 Winter
and Spring terms. Students rooming alone are charged one-third
more.
Table board costs $2 per week..
The following is an estimate of the necessary expenses of
student per year:

students to deny themselves wholesome, nutritious food, or to use
time in preparing meals needed for study and recreation.

PENNSYLVANIA STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
The Departments*
PHYSICS.
Physics is taught during the Fall and Winter terms of the
Senior year. This department is thoroughly equipped with appa
ratus, so as to permit the exhibition of many more experiments
than are described in the average text book. With the actual ex
periment and phenomena before him, each student is led to think
and reason out the working of natural laws for himself Experi
ments are performed in advance of the lesson, so as to effectually
call forth the original powers of the student.
A partial list of the apparatus for illustrating principles of
Physics includes instruments of measurements, length, weight and
capacity; instruments for illustrating physical forces, for illustrat
ing principles of machinery, 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 machine, electroscope, permanent and artificial
magnets, magnetic needles, etc.
An imported high-grade hand motor is an important addition
to the electric apparatus.
Within two years about forty pieces of valuable apparatus
have been made by members of the Senior class, among which
may be especially noted, force pump, lifting pump, swiftest descent
machine, spiral and centrifugal railways, fountains, intermittent
spring, ‘lung tester, sound recorder, spouting jet, projectile can
non, pendulums of various kinds, siphons, capillary tubes, etc.
OF THF TWELFTH DISTRICT.
29
BOTANY.
The subject of Botany is taught during the Spring term of
the Junior year. The living plant is made the basis of instruc
tion, Gray s School and Field Book of Botany being used as a
guide. The flora of the locality is large, and within" easy reach
of the student. Two compound microscopes of high magnifying
power are always in readiness for examining the delicate and in
tricate portions of plants and flowers. Thus analysis of plant
growth and infloresence can be conducted to a great degree of ac
curacy by each individual student.
For efficient work in organography each student is furnished
with a dissecting table, equipped with a good single lense micro
scope, reflecting plates and dissecting needles. A.t least two weeks
are spent solely in laboratory work of this kind.
As further laboratory work each student is taught to make
careful cross sections and longitudinal sections of at least ten dif
ferent seeds, also of stems, roots, tubers, bulbs, etc., and to apply
such chemical reagents as may be necessary to discern the different
ingredients in the composition of the parts, such as starch, tannin,
oils and fat, etc.
Each student is also required
(i.) To mount neatly on suitable card board ten specimens
representing ten different families of flowering plants selected from
the wild flora of the vicinity, with the natural classifications of
each subscribed. Each specimen is to bq accompanied by careful
drawings of the following parts: Petal, sepal, flower plan, stamens,
pollen ovule and pistil.
( 2 •) To write out an analysis of thirty-five plants, containing
such facts as are necessary for classifying each plant.
PHYSIOLOGY.
As the subject of Physiology is now taught in all the Public
Schools, and students are more or less familiar with the subject
30
PENNSYLVANIA STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
before entering the Normal School, the work in this department is
devoted exclusively to a thorough and comprehensive review of
the whole subject, with special reference to Hygiene. The student
is not only expected to master in detail the important parts, with
their functions, and the different processes of the human body but
also to become so thoroughly acquainted with the laws of health
that he can apply them intelligently in maintaining health in any
school room.
As aids to the study of anatomy therq are exhibited in presence
of the students two life-size skeletons—one with the bones intact,
the other with the bones separate—so that not only the position
but the size and shape of every bone may be thoroughly under
stood by the student. Also a model of the human body, with
parts detachable, showing the position and comparative size of all
the vital organs, the different parts of the brain, the location of the
different, muscles, etc. Also a complete set of the most recently
approved charts, showing microscopic views of capillaries, blood
corpuscles, nerve filaments, lymphatics, action of narcotics on di
gestion, etc.
During the Fall term about two weeks are spent in laboratory
work, dissecting different animals, examining under the micro
scope muscle fibres, lung tissues, glands, corpuscles, etc.
PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY.
As aids to the study of Physical Geography, there are avail
able at all times maps, charts, globes; also apparatus for illustrat
ing relative sizes, positions and movements of the bodies of the
solar system. Especial attention is paid to the physical causes un
derlying the various phenomena treated under this subject. As far
as practicable, such subjects as atmospheric pressure, intermittent
springs, etc., are explained by actual experiment before the class.
OF THF TWEI
31
CHEMISTRY.
Chemistry is taught during the Spring term mostly as Post
graduate work. For this work excellent facilities are afforded. A
large, commodious and well ventilated basement is at the service
of the students in this class.
The subject is taught largely by laboratory methods. Each
student is furnished with the proper outfit of reagent bottle, test
tubes, alcohol lamp, breakers, retorts, etc., so that under the
guidance and instruction of the teacher he can perform the expe
riments and make the necessary notes and deductions.
On the side table may be found all the reagents and other
chemicals necessary for successfully performing all the essential
experiments in any elementary work. The text followed is
Shepard’s Chemistry.
ENGLISH.
In schools of every grade increased attention is justly given
to a more thorough study of our mother tongue. The Normal
School course in this department includes Grammar, Rhetoric and
English Eiterature. In Grammer our aim is to give the student
that knowledge of the structure of his language which is essential
to further linguistic study, and will secure accuracy and facility in
written as well as in oral expression. Technical Grammar is not
neglected nor is it unduly emphasized. As a means of mental
discipline this branch is excelled by few others. Practical labora
tory work runs parallel with the course in formal Grammar.
During the Fall and Winter terms the Juniors met at stated
intervals for general literary work. The object of these exer
cises is:
(i.) To give the student control over himself.
(2.) To give him practical work in the art of expression.
(3.) To fit him for a systematic study of Rhetoric.
32
PENNSYI,VANIA STATS NORMAS SCHOOS
Rhetoric is treated both as a science and an art; ability to
use language effectively is recognized as the student’s real gain.
During the Senior year each member of the senior class pre
pares an oration or an essay, and delivers it in chapel. English
Eiterature is studied during one term of the Senior year. The
biographies of representative authors are studied with the best
criticisms of their works. In addition much attention is paid to
the critical reading of at least four English classics. This year
the classics studied were, “Julius Caesar,’’ “ Evangeline,’’ “ In
Memoriam,’’ and “Emerson’s Essay on Power.’’
LATIN.
In Eatin we aim to make a thorough and exhaustive study
of the principles of the language, and to give so thorough a drill
in Eatin Grammar as to facilitate an extended study of the
language. We strive to show the close relationship which exists
between the Eatin language and our own. English words from
Eatin roots are traced to the original. The life and campaigns of
Caesar are critically studied. The geography of Gaul and Ancient
Italy, the history of the destruction of the Republic, and the
formation of the Roman Empire, are made the subject of interest
ing talks with the instructor.
ARITHMETIC.
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 Percentage and finishes the book.
There is also a general review class arranged for each term.
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 processes and

routine methods are of no value. Students here are trained to
logical habit of thought, and are stimulated to a high degree of
intellectual energy.
ALGEBRA.
The work in Algebra belongs to the Junior year.
We recognize the fact that Algebra is essential in all the
higher mathematics, hence thoroughness is our aim. Three suc
cessive terms are given to this branch. It is commenced early in
the course, and prosecuted with vigor.
GEOMETRY.
It is generally conceded that the best mental drill is derived
from the demonstration of geometrical theorems. In no other
study can the language and 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 interest
ing and practical.
PENMANSHIP.
Recognizing the great demand of the commercial world for
good, rapid business writers, and of the educational world for
competent teachers of Penmanship a special department of Pen
manship is sustained. We believe this department offers unex
celled facilities. Among these may be mentioned, (i) It is in
charge of a specialist. (2) Students are allowed to take the
course exclusively or in connection with other courses. (3) Stu
dents receive special individual instruction as well as class drills ;
each receives written copies direct from the pen of the teacher.
(4) Students have free access to art journals and compendiums
in which are found numerous copies and frequent discussions by
leading authors and educators on all phases of the subject. The
course embraces plain and fancy writing, blackboard writing,
rapid business combinations, flourishing, lettering, drawing, de-
34
PENNSYLVANIA STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
signing and theory. Each student upon completing the cour.se
prepares an elaborate original specimen.
In addition to the above vertical writing has recently been
added. No pains have been spared to investigate fully as to the
merits of this system. Judging from the favorable reports of
of many prominent teachers who have given it a fair trial, verti
cal writing has come to stay. The results of our experiments for
the past two years have been very satisfactory.
DRAWING.
The time is near at hand when a knowledge of Drawing will
be required of every teacher. It is a valuable aid in nearly every
department of school work. The aim of the instructor in this de
partment is to make the work as practicable as possible. Copying
is not drawing. The work requires twenty-eight weeks and em
braces the following: Elementary designs, free hand drawing,
angular and parallel, perspective, light and shade, theory of color,
landscape, marine, map drawing and rapid sketching from nature
and relief forms.
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
Eaw, Bookkeeping and Business Forms as to enable him to trans
act business intelligently. In order to teach these things, they
must be thoroughly understood. The student here can, by actual
practice, become familiar with the duties of the merchant, the
banker, the commission agent, the bookkeeper, etc. Each student
is urged to take a course in double entry as well as single entry.
The amount required by the course is so meagre as to barely
familiarize one with the elementary principles of practical Book
keeping.
OF THE TWELFTH DISTRICT.
35
PSYCHOLOGY.
Education has no more inspiring subject than Psychology.
Every teacher ought to be interested in the laws of mental life. A.
teacher may, from his knowledge of human nature, succeed in a
measure, but how much greater will be his success if he can follow
intelligently and systematically the principles which govern the
mind’s development. The order of mental life cannot be brought
too soon before intelligent students. Early in the course a teacher s
class in Psychology is organized. In the Senior class a more ad
vanced course is given. Special attention is given to the Psychol
ogy of seeing and hearing, attention and memory, perception and
imagination, feeling and will. The subject is studied from the
standpoint of the teacher, and practical applications are made to
education and the conduct of life.
METHODS.
The work in Methods is based on sound educational princi
ples, and is never allowed to degenerate into stereotyped devices
which the student puts into a notebook, believing that he has in
them the key to future success. The aim is rather to cultivate the
spirit of investigation, to develop the individuality of the teacher
and to build up the true ideal of education and the teacher’s part
in the process.
MODEL SCHOOL.
This department has set aside for its use one large study room
and seven class rooms, all well-lighted and ventilated and supplied
with necessary apparatus. The fooms for the lower grades are
fitted up with the latest pattern of adjustable seats, while globes,
Rand and McNally’s maps, tables for sand-modeling, etc., furnish
adequate equipment for satisfactory teaching.
The Model School pupils range in age from five to seventeen
years and are so classified as to represent every grade of, public
36
PENNSYI^VANIA STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
school work. The student-teachers practice in this school one
period daily under the direction and supervision of the Principal.
For those who intend to teach there can be no better preparation
than this work. Without such practice no one can become the
trained teacher for whom there is so urgent a demand.
Some changes have been made in the text-books furnished in
the advanced grades. Frye’s Complete Geography, Tarbell’s
language Lessons, Vol. II, and Sheldon-Barnes American His
tory are now in use. The supplementary reading includes the
following: “Seaside and Wayside Readers,” Nos. i, 2 and 3 ;
“Our World Reader,” No. i; “Stories of Industry,” two vol
umes ; “ Pratt’s American History Stories,” four volumes; An
drews’ “Seven Little Sisters,” “Each and All,” “Ten Boys,”
Frye’s “ Brooks and Brook Basins,” and other selections.
Teachers are encouraged to make use of books in the library
which will help them in preparation of their work, also from
every available source to gather additional matter for presentation
to their pupils.
This past year special attention has been given to the study
of English, while in all the work a beginning has been made in
the application of the principle of correlation.
PHYSICAL TRAINING.
A Gymnasium has been fitted up, adding much to the effici
ency of the school. The apparatus is the best made, consisting
of parallel bars, vaulting bars, traveling rings, striking bag,
trapeze, etc. Young men exercise in the Gymnasium daily.
During the cooler months one period daily is spent by the girls
in light gymnastics, under the direction of a skillful and experi
enced teacher. The aim is to preserve health and strength, to
promote graceful bearing and movements, and to give recreation.
The work consists of exercises in breathing, gesture, calisthenics

37 .
and dumb bells, marching, fancy steps and games. The correct
way of sitting, rising, standing, walking, etc., is taught, and in
dividual work is given for special defects.
Tadies are requested to come provided with blouse waist, low,
easy shoes, and a short full skirt, or a divided skirt. The latter
is usually adopted by the girls, but is not required.
38

Music Department*
The aim of this Department is not only to prepare teachers
for leading the musi^ in Public Schools, but also to offer facilities
for higher musical culture, in voice and piano. Advanced courses
have been arranged with special reference to this end.

The musical development will be made to keep pace with the
mechanical execution by the study of pieces from the works of the
masters, especial attention being given to the cultivation of a mu
sical touch and a correct interpretation of the standard works.
VOICE.
Vocal music is universally conceded to be the highest type of
music. We owe it to ourselves and to society to bring out the
OF THE TWELFTH DISTRICT.
39
capabilities of our voices, and if specially endowed we should have
our gifts carefully trained. Special care is taken in the first year’s
work in the proper placing of the voice, as this is of the utmost im
portance to the singer, and no satisfactory progress can be made
until this is accomplished. Attention is also given to proper man
agement of the breath, phrasing and artistic tone, all of which are
used in connection with study of standard studies, songs, and
arias from operas and oratorios.
In addition to the regular course in voice culture, this depart
ment makes a specialty of a chorus and sight-singing class, which
is free to all Normal and Conservatory students, and is a required
study for all Normal graduates. Very few teachers are qualified
to successfully teach vocal music in the public schools, and the
true reason would seem to be a lack of training in their Normal
work.. After completing this course, students have the oppor
tunity of teaching it in the Model School, thus preparing them
selves for presenting the subject in their future teaching.
VOCAL CLUBS.
There are connected with the school two vocal clubs. The
Conneauttee Glee Club for gentlemen and the Aeolian Club for
ladies. The members of these clubs are chosen from the best
singers in the school, regardless of class distinction, and are given
a special drill twice a week by the director of music. Their pro
gress has been quite remarkable, and the enthusiasm displayed
by the members shows that they appreciate as well as thoroughly
enjoy this privilege.
HARMONY.
A study of Elementary Harmony is absolutely essential to
every musician. The department offers a course covering two
years, which includes a study of scales, intervals, naming and
writing the same from sound, concord and discord, voice lead-
40
PENNSYLVANIA STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
ing, two and three part writing, formation and progression of
chords, treatment of dominant and secondary seventh chords,
cadences transpositions, suspensions, sequences, exceptional chord
treatment, four part writing from given basses, analysis meter,
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, practice and recitation rooms. The Musicales,
Recitals, Lectures, etc., are free to all pupils in music. The
sight-singing and chorus class, is one of the free classes.
The frequent Musicales and Recitals are of great benefit to
pupils, giving them an opportunity to become acquainted with
the best class of music and musicians, and at the same time prac
tical experience in performing before others.
REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION.
Candidates for graduation must complete the course in Har
mony and one other branch, and in addition must complete at
least three grades in a third ; as for example, any one finishing
Voice and Harmony, must also finish three grades in Piano.
The graduates give a recital at the completion of the course,
assisted by other members of the music department chosen by the
director.
To those finishing the course is given the diploma of the
school, signed by the Faculty and officers of the school.
EXPENSE OF MUSIC DEPARTMENT.

LIBRARY.
The Dibrary contains about six thousand carefully selected
volumes. Its value and utility depend largely on the intelligent
means employed to bring its contents within convenient reach.
The Dibrarian, by his skillful use of the blackboard, calls the
attention of the students to matters of current history, and by
maps and other drawings presents comprehensive views that are
of invaluable assistance to every department. He has also devoted
much time to the compilation of a reference book based on the
Dewey system. Within the past year over ten thousand items
have been classified almost wholly from current literature.

Location, Buildings, Etc*
Edinboro is one of the healthiest school towns in the State.
It is situated in the valley of the great Conneauttee, and on the
border of a beautiful lake of the same name. Its rich soil of loam
and gravel finds its natural drainage into the stream that flows
from the lake through the town. The death rate for the inhabi
tants of the village and surrounding district, is very low, not over
ten per thousand people for the year. We are more free from
epidemic than large centres of population and railroad towns.
A complete system of sewerage has been constructed, at large
expense, for the school ground and its various buildings, convey
ing all sewerage and waste into a creek of constantly running
water. In consequence of this sewerage system, the water supply
for the school is exceptionally pure and wholesome, without the
usual danger of contamination.
Conneauttee Take affords rare facilities for both healthy exer
cise and enjoyment by its skating in winter and boating in summer.
ACCESS.
The nearest railroad station is Cambridge, on the New York,
Pennsylvania & Ohio. Hacks connect with passenger trains at
that place. The New York, Pennsylvania & Ohio has good con
nections with the Pittsburg, Shenango & Take Erie, the Phila
delphia & Erie, and other railroads, giving quick and convenient
access.
GROUNDS.
The school grounds, consisting of about twelve acres, are of
surpassing beauty. They are artistically dotted with trees and
shrubs of great variety. The lawns are well kept. Opportunities
46
PENNSYIvVANIA STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
are offered for base ball, lawn tennis, croquet and other profitable
out door games.
BUILDINGS.
The buildings are seven in number, besides a boiler house and
water tower. Five are used for recitation rooms, museum, library,
ofiEces, etc.; two are boarding halls. All are heated with steam
from boilers set in the boiler house. The class rooms are well
lighted and ventilated, and are of comfortable size, and contain
all the equipments necessary for successful class work.
BOARDING HALLS.
The boarding halls are divided into suites of rooms, each suite
consisting of a sitting room and bed room. Two persons usually
occupy one suite. The rooms are completely and comfortably
furnished. Each floor is abundantly supplied with hot and cold
water, and each hall is provided with a bath room.
DISCIPLINE.
The rules for individual conduct are very limited. All stu
dents are expected to observe such regulations as may be needed
to secure to all the greatest good. Eadies and gentlemen require
no specific directions. No student whose influence is pernicious
will be allowed to remain in the school.
BOARDING, ETC.
All students attending any department of this school, who do
not live with their parents or guardians, and who are not under
the immediate charge of such parents or guardians, shall be sub
ject to the following regulations:
Students must consult the Principal before selecting rooms
or boarding places.
Permission to change rooms or boarding places must in every
case be obtained from the Principal.
OF THF TWELFTH DISTRICT.
47
Students must not be absent from their rooms in the evening
without the consent of the teacher in charge.
Students may receive calls only during the hours devoted to
recreation.
Gentlemen not connected with the school are not permitted
to call upon lady students unless by permission of the Principal.
The mail of the students is all delivered at the school. Let
ters should be directed in care of the Normal to insure prompt
dehvery.
Students remaining at the school during vacation will observe
the general regulations.
Each student will be held responsible for damage to his room
or furniture.
Persons desiring to take boarders or rent rooms, are requested
to notify the Principal before the opening of the Fall term, stating
the number of boarders or renters they can accommodate.
Rooms and boarding places will be selected from those upon
the Principal’s list.
The Principal and teachers shall deem it their duty to satisfy
themselves that all persons who either keep boarders or rent rooms,
exercise such supervision over the students as will secure a com
pliance with the spirit and intentions of the rules of school. Stu
dents will not be allowed to continue to room or board where such
supervision is not maintained, or where the requirements of the
school are in any way disregarded.

27
OF THB TWELFTH DISTRICT.
EXPENSES IN NORMAL DEPARTMENT.
Elsewhere we learn that the State appropriates fifty cents per
week for each student over seventeen years of age who pursues
professional studies for at least twelve consecutive weeks, and
fifty dollars for each graduate. These amounts are credited on
tuition and other accounts, leaving the student to pay twenty-one
dollars less than full rates for Junior year, and seventy-one dollars
less than regular rates for Senior year.
Tuition per year, $51 ; deducting State aid, $30. The tuition
per term is divided as follows: Fall term, sixteen weeks, $i8.
Winter term, twelve weeks, $16. Spring term, fourteen weeks,
$17. With the usual deductions of fifty cents per week. State aid.
Tuition per week, for parts of term, $1.45.
The rooms in the dormitories are furnished with all necessary
articles. The rent is $6 to $10 for Fall term, and $4 to $8 Winter
and Spring terms. Students rooming alone are charged one-third
more.
Table board costs $2 per week..
The following is an estimate of the necessary expenses of
student per year:
Tuition, State aid deducted...................................... ......................... $30
Board, 42 weeks......................................................................................

Students who board themselves can materially lessen the ex
penses ; but it is to be remembered that it is false economy for
students to deny themselves wholesome, nutritious food, or to use
time in preparing meals needed for study and recreation.

PENNSYLVANIA STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
The Departments*
PHYSICS.
Physics is taught during the Fall and Winter terms of the
Senior year. This department is thoroughly equipped with appa
ratus, so as to permit the exhibition of many more experiments
than are described in the average text book. With the actual ex
periment and phenomena before him, each student is led to think
and reason out the working of natural laws for himself Experi
ments are performed in advance of the lesson, so as to effectually
call forth the original powers of the student.
A partial list of the apparatus for illustrating principles of
Physics includes instruments of measurements, length, weight and
capacity; instruments for illustrating physical forces, for illustrat
ing principles of machinery, 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 machine, electroscope, permanent and artificial
magnets, magnetic needles, etc.
An imported high-grade hand motor is an important addition
to the electric apparatus.
Within two years about forty pieces of valuable apparatus
have been made by members of the Senior class, among which
may be especially noted, force pump, lifting pump, swiftest descent
machine, spiral and centrifugal railways, fountains, intermittent
spring, ‘lung tester, sound recorder, spouting jet, projectile can
non, pendulums of various kinds, siphons, capillary tubes, etc.
OF THF TWELFTH DISTRICT.
29
BOTANY.
The subject of Botany is taught during the Spring term of
the Junior year. The living plant is made the basis of instruc
tion, Gray s School and Field Book of Botany being used as a
guide. The flora of the locality is large, and within" easy reach
of the student. Two compound microscopes of high magnifying
power are always in readiness for examining the delicate and in
tricate portions of plants and flowers. Thus analysis of plant
growth and infloresence can be conducted to a great degree of ac
curacy by each individual student.
For efficient work in organography each student is furnished
with a dissecting table, equipped with a good single lense micro
scope, reflecting plates and dissecting needles. A.t least two weeks
are spent solely in laboratory work of this kind.
As further laboratory work each student is taught to make
careful cross sections and longitudinal sections of at least ten dif
ferent seeds, also of stems, roots, tubers, bulbs, etc., and to apply
such chemical reagents as may be necessary to discern the different
ingredients in the composition of the parts, such as starch, tannin,
oils and fat, etc.
Each student is also required
(i.) To mount neatly on suitable card board ten specimens
representing ten different families of flowering plants selected from
the wild flora of the vicinity, with the natural classifications of
each subscribed. Each specimen is to bq accompanied by careful
drawings of the following parts: Petal, sepal, flower plan, stamens,
pollen ovule and pistil.
( 2 •) To write out an analysis of thirty-five plants, containing
such facts as are necessary for classifying each plant.
PHYSIOLOGY.
As the subject of Physiology is now taught in all the Public
Schools, and students are more or less familiar with the subject
30
PENNSYLVANIA STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
before entering the Normal School, the work in this department is
devoted exclusively to a thorough and comprehensive review of
the whole subject, with special reference to Hygiene. The student
is not only expected to master in detail the important parts, with
their functions, and the different processes of the human body but
also to become so thoroughly acquainted with the laws of health
that he can apply them intelligently in maintaining health in any
school room.
As aids to the study of anatomy therq are exhibited in presence
of the students two life-size skeletons—one with the bones intact,
the other with the bones separate—so that not only the position
but the size and shape of every bone may be thoroughly under
stood by the student. Also a model of the human body, with
parts detachable, showing the position and comparative size of all
the vital organs, the different parts of the brain, the location of the
different, muscles, etc. Also a complete set of the most recently
approved charts, showing microscopic views of capillaries, blood
corpuscles, nerve filaments, lymphatics, action of narcotics on di
gestion, etc.
During the Fall term about two weeks are spent in laboratory
work, dissecting different animals, examining under the micro
scope muscle fibres, lung tissues, glands, corpuscles, etc.
PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY.
As aids to the study of Physical Geography, there are avail
able at all times maps, charts, globes; also apparatus for illustrat
ing relative sizes, positions and movements of the bodies of the
solar system. Especial attention is paid to the physical causes un
derlying the various phenomena treated under this subject. As far
as practicable, such subjects as atmospheric pressure, intermittent
springs, etc., are explained by actual experiment before the class.
OF THF TWEI
31
CHEMISTRY.
Chemistry is taught during the Spring term mostly as Post
graduate work. For this work excellent facilities are afforded. A
large, commodious and well ventilated basement is at the service
of the students in this class.
The subject is taught largely by laboratory methods. Each
student is furnished with the proper outfit of reagent bottle, test
tubes, alcohol lamp, breakers, retorts, etc., so that under the
guidance and instruction of the teacher he can perform the expe
riments and make the necessary notes and deductions.
On the side table may be found all the reagents and other
chemicals necessary for successfully performing all the essential
experiments in any elementary work. The text followed is
Shepard’s Chemistry.
ENGLISH.
In schools of every grade increased attention is justly given
to a more thorough study of our mother tongue. The Normal
School course in this department includes Grammar, Rhetoric and
English Eiterature. In Grammer our aim is to give the student
that knowledge of the structure of his language which is essential
to further linguistic study, and will secure accuracy and facility in
written as well as in oral expression. Technical Grammar is not
neglected nor is it unduly emphasized. As a means of mental
discipline this branch is excelled by few others. Practical labora
tory work runs parallel with the course in formal Grammar.
During the Fall and Winter terms the Juniors met at stated
intervals for general literary work. The object of these exer
cises is:
(i.) To give the student control over himself.
(2.) To give him practical work in the art of expression.
(3.) To fit him for a systematic study of Rhetoric.
32
PENNSYI,VANIA STATS NORMAS SCHOOS
Rhetoric is treated both as a science and an art; ability to
use language effectively is recognized as the student’s real gain.
During the Senior year each member of the senior class pre
pares an oration or an essay, and delivers it in chapel. English
Eiterature is studied during one term of the Senior year. The
biographies of representative authors are studied with the best
criticisms of their works. In addition much attention is paid to
the critical reading of at least four English classics. This year
the classics studied were, “Julius Caesar,’’ “ Evangeline,’’ “ In
Memoriam,’’ and “Emerson’s Essay on Power.’’
LATIN.
In Eatin we aim to make a thorough and exhaustive study
of the principles of the language, and to give so thorough a drill
in Eatin Grammar as to facilitate an extended study of the
language. We strive to show the close relationship which exists
between the Eatin language and our own. English words from
Eatin roots are traced to the original. The life and campaigns of
Caesar are critically studied. The geography of Gaul and Ancient
Italy, the history of the destruction of the Republic, and the
formation of the Roman Empire, are made the subject of interest
ing talks with the instructor.
ARITHMETIC.
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 Percentage and finishes the book.
There is also a general review class arranged for each term.
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 processes and
OF THE TWELFTH DISTRICT.

routine methods are of no value. Students here are trained to
logical habit of thought, and are stimulated to a high degree of
intellectual energy.
ALGEBRA.
The work in Algebra belongs to the Junior year.
We recognize the fact that Algebra is essential in all the
higher mathematics, hence thoroughness is our aim. Three suc
cessive terms are given to this branch. It is commenced early in
the course, and prosecuted with vigor.
GEOMETRY.
It is generally conceded that the best mental drill is derived
from the demonstration of geometrical theorems. In no other
study can the language and 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 interest
ing and practical.
PENMANSHIP.
Recognizing the great demand of the commercial world for
good, rapid business writers, and of the educational world for
competent teachers of Penmanship a special department of Pen
manship is sustained. We believe this department offers unex
celled facilities. Among these may be mentioned, (i) It is in
charge of a specialist. (2) Students are allowed to take the
course exclusively or in connection with other courses. (3) Stu
dents receive special individual instruction as well as class drills ;
each receives written copies direct from the pen of the teacher.
(4) Students have free access to art journals and compendiums
in which are found numerous copies and frequent discussions by
leading authors and educators on all phases of the subject. The
course embraces plain and fancy writing, blackboard writing,
rapid business combinations, flourishing, lettering, drawing, de-
34
PENNSYLVANIA STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
signing and theory. Each student upon completing the cour.se
prepares an elaborate original specimen.
In addition to the above vertical writing has recently been
added. No pains have been spared to investigate fully as to the
merits of this system. Judging from the favorable reports of
of many prominent teachers who have given it a fair trial, verti
cal writing has come to stay. The results of our experiments for
the past two years have been very satisfactory.
DRAWING.
The time is near at hand when a knowledge of Drawing will
be required of every teacher. It is a valuable aid in nearly every
department of school work. The aim of the instructor in this de
partment is to make the work as practicable as possible. Copying
is not drawing. The work requires twenty-eight weeks and em
braces the following: Elementary designs, free hand drawing,
angular and parallel, perspective, light and shade, theory of color,
landscape, marine, map drawing and rapid sketching from nature
and relief forms.
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
Eaw, Bookkeeping and Business Forms as to enable him to trans
act business intelligently. In order to teach these things, they
must be thoroughly understood. The student here can, by actual
practice, become familiar with the duties of the merchant, the
banker, the commission agent, the bookkeeper, etc. Each student
is urged to take a course in double entry as well as single entry.
The amount required by the course is so meagre as to barely
familiarize one with the elementary principles of practical Book
keeping.
OF THE TWELFTH DISTRICT.
35
PSYCHOLOGY.
Education has no more inspiring subject than Psychology.
Every teacher ought to be interested in the laws of mental life. A.
teacher may, from his knowledge of human nature, succeed in a
measure, but how much greater will be his success if he can follow
intelligently and systematically the principles which govern the
mind’s development. The order of mental life cannot be brought
too soon before intelligent students. Early in the course a teacher s
class in Psychology is organized. In the Senior class a more ad
vanced course is given. Special attention is given to the Psychol
ogy of seeing and hearing, attention and memory, perception and
imagination, feeling and will. The subject is studied from the
standpoint of the teacher, and practical applications are made to
education and the conduct of life.
METHODS.
The work in Methods is based on sound educational princi
ples, and is never allowed to degenerate into stereotyped devices
which the student puts into a notebook, believing that he has in
them the key to future success. The aim is rather to cultivate the
spirit of investigation, to develop the individuality of the teacher
and to build up the true ideal of education and the teacher’s part
in the process.
MODEL SCHOOL.
This department has set aside for its use one large study room
and seven class rooms, all well-lighted and ventilated and supplied
with necessary apparatus. The fooms for the lower grades are
fitted up with the latest pattern of adjustable seats, while globes,
Rand and McNally’s maps, tables for sand-modeling, etc., furnish
adequate equipment for satisfactory teaching.
The Model School pupils range in age from five to seventeen
years and are so classified as to represent every grade of, public
36
PENNSYI^VANIA STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
school work. The student-teachers practice in this school one
period daily under the direction and supervision of the Principal.
For those who intend to teach there can be no better preparation
than this work. Without such practice no one can become the
trained teacher for whom there is so urgent a demand.
Some changes have been made in the text-books furnished in
the advanced grades. Frye’s Complete Geography, Tarbell’s
language Lessons, Vol. II, and Sheldon-Barnes American His
tory are now in use. The supplementary reading includes the
following: “Seaside and Wayside Readers,” Nos. i, 2 and 3 ;
“Our World Reader,” No. i; “Stories of Industry,” two vol
umes ; “ Pratt’s American History Stories,” four volumes; An
drews’ “Seven Little Sisters,” “Each and All,” “Ten Boys,”
Frye’s “ Brooks and Brook Basins,” and other selections.
Teachers are encouraged to make use of books in the library
which will help them in preparation of their work, also from
every available source to gather additional matter for presentation
to their pupils.
This past year special attention has been given to the study
of English, while in all the work a beginning has been made in
the application of the principle of correlation.
PHYSICAL TRAINING.
A Gymnasium has been fitted up, adding much to the effici
ency of the school. The apparatus is the best made, consisting
of parallel bars, vaulting bars, traveling rings, striking bag,
trapeze, etc. Young men exercise in the Gymnasium daily.
During the cooler months one period daily is spent by the girls
in light gymnastics, under the direction of a skillful and experi
enced teacher. The aim is to preserve health and strength, to
promote graceful bearing and movements, and to give recreation.
The work consists of exercises in breathing, gesture, calisthenics

and dumb bells, marching, fancy steps and games. The correct
way of sitting, rising, standing, walking, etc., is taught, and in
dividual work is given for special defects.
Tadies are requested to come provided with blouse waist, low,
easy shoes, and a short full skirt, or a divided skirt. The latter
is usually adopted by the girls, but is not required.

The aim of this Department is not only to prepare teachers
for leading the musi^ in Public Schools, but also to offer facilities
for higher musical culture, in voice and piano. Advanced courses
have been arranged with special reference to this end.

The musical development will be made to keep pace with the
mechanical execution by the study of pieces from the works of the
masters, especial attention being given to the cultivation of a mu
sical touch and a correct interpretation of the standard works.
VOICE.
Vocal music is universally conceded to be the highest type of
music. We owe it to ourselves and to society to bring out the
OF THE TWELFTH DISTRICT.
39
capabilities of our voices, and if specially endowed we should have
our gifts carefully trained. Special care is taken in the first year’s
work in the proper placing of the voice, as this is of the utmost im
portance to the singer, and no satisfactory progress can be made
until this is accomplished. Attention is also given to proper man
agement of the breath, phrasing and artistic tone, all of which are
used in connection with study of standard studies, songs, and
arias from operas and oratorios.
In addition to the regular course in voice culture, this depart
ment makes a specialty of a chorus and sight-singing class, which
is free to all Normal and Conservatory students, and is a required
study for all Normal graduates. Very few teachers are qualified
to successfully teach vocal music in the public schools, and the
true reason would seem to be a lack of training in their Normal
work.. After completing this course, students have the oppor
tunity of teaching it in the Model School, thus preparing them
selves for presenting the subject in their future teaching.
VOCAL CLUBS.
There are connected with the school two vocal clubs. The
Conneauttee Glee Club for gentlemen and the Aeolian Club for
ladies. The members of these clubs are chosen from the best
singers in the school, regardless of class distinction, and are given
a special drill twice a week by the director of music. Their pro
gress has been quite remarkable, and the enthusiasm displayed
by the members shows that they appreciate as well as thoroughly
enjoy this privilege.
HARMONY.
A study of Elementary Harmony is absolutely essential to
every musician. The department offers a course covering two
years, which includes a study of scales, intervals, naming and
writing the same from sound, concord and discord, voice lead-
40
PENNSYLVANIA STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
ing, two and three part writing, formation and progression of
chords, treatment of dominant and secondary seventh chords,
cadences transpositions, suspensions, sequences, exceptional chord
treatment, four part writing from given basses, analysis meter,
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, practice and recitation rooms. The Musicales,
Recitals, Lectures, etc., are free to all pupils in music. The
sight-singing and chorus class, is one of the free classes.
The frequent Musicales and Recitals are of great benefit to
pupils, giving them an opportunity to become acquainted with
the best class of music and musicians, and at the same time prac
tical experience in performing before others.
REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION.
Candidates for graduation must complete the course in Har
mony and one other branch, and in addition must complete at
least three grades in a third ; as for example, any one finishing
Voice and Harmony, must also finish three grades in Piano.
The graduates give a recital at the completion of the course,
assisted by other members of the music department chosen by the
director.
To those finishing the course is given the diploma of the
school, signed by the Faculty and officers of the school.

LIBRARY.
The Dibrary contains about six thousand carefully selected
volumes. Its value and utility depend largely on the intelligent
means employed to bring its contents within convenient reach.
The Dibrarian, by his skillful use of the blackboard, calls the
attention of the students to matters of current history, and by
maps and other drawings presents comprehensive views that are
of invaluable assistance to every department. He has also devoted
much time to the compilation of a reference book based on the
Dewey system. Within the past year over ten thousand items
have been classified almost wholly from current literature.

Location, Buildings, Etc*
Edinboro is one of the healthiest school towns in the State.
It is situated in the valley of the great Conneauttee, and on the
border of a beautiful lake of the same name. Its rich soil of loam
and gravel finds its natural drainage into the stream that flows
from the lake through the town. The death rate for the inhabi
tants of the village and surrounding district, is very low, not over
ten per thousand people for the year. We are more free from
epidemic than large centres of population and railroad towns.
A complete system of sewerage has been constructed, at large
expense, for the school ground and its various buildings, convey
ing all sewerage and waste into a creek of constantly running
water. In consequence of this sewerage system, the water supply
for the school is exceptionally pure and wholesome, without the
usual danger of contamination.
Conneauttee Take affords rare facilities for both healthy exer
cise and enjoyment by its skating in winter and boating in summer.
ACCESS.
The nearest railroad station is Cambridge, on the New York,
Pennsylvania & Ohio. Hacks connect with passenger trains at
that place. The New York, Pennsylvania & Ohio has good con
nections with the Pittsburg, Shenango & Take Erie, the Phila
delphia & Erie, and other railroads, giving quick and convenient
access.
GROUNDS.
The school grounds, consisting of about twelve acres, are of
surpassing beauty. They are artistically dotted with trees and
shrubs of great variety. The lawns are well kept. Opportunities
46
PENNSYIvVANIA STATE NORMAL SCHOOL
are offered for base ball, lawn tennis, croquet and other profitable
out door games.
BUILDINGS.
The buildings are seven in number, besides a boiler house and
water tower. Five are used for recitation rooms, museum, library,
ofiEces, etc.; two are boarding halls. All are heated with steam
from boilers set in the boiler house. The class rooms are well
lighted and ventilated, and are of comfortable size, and contain
all the equipments necessary for successful class work.
BOARDING HALLS.
The boarding halls are divided into suites of rooms, each suite
consisting of a sitting room and bed room. Two persons usually
occupy one suite. The rooms are completely and comfortably
furnished. Each floor is abundantly supplied with hot and cold
water, and each hall is provided with a bath room.
DISCIPLINE.
The rules for individual conduct are very limited. All stu
dents are expected to observe such regulations as may be needed
to secure to all the greatest good. Eadies and gentlemen require
no specific directions. No student whose influence is pernicious
will be allowed to remain in the school.
BOARDING, ETC.
All students attending any department of this school, who do
not live with their parents or guardians, and who are not under
the immediate charge of such parents or guardians, shall be sub
ject to the following regulations:
Students must consult the Principal before selecting rooms
or boarding places.
Permission to change rooms or boarding places must in every
case be obtained from the Principal.
OF THF TWELFTH DISTRICT.
47
Students must not be absent from their rooms in the evening
without the consent of the teacher in charge.
Students may receive calls only during the hours devoted to
recreation.
Gentlemen not connected with the school are not permitted
to call upon lady students unless by permission of the Principal.
The mail of the students is all delivered at the school. Let
ters should be directed in care of the Normal to insure prompt
dehvery.
Students remaining at the school during vacation will observe
the general regulations.
Each student will be held responsible for damage to his room
or furniture.
Persons desiring to take boarders or rent rooms, are requested
to notify the Principal before the opening of the Fall term, stating
the number of boarders or renters they can accommodate.
Rooms and boarding places will be selected from those upon
the Principal’s list.
The Principal and teachers shall deem it their duty to satisfy
themselves that all persons who either keep boarders or rent rooms,
exercise such supervision over the students as will secure a com
pliance with the spirit and intentions of the rules of school. Stu
dents will not be allowed to continue to room or board where such
supervision is not maintained, or where the requirements of the
school are in any way disregarded.
