General Statement.
The purpose of the Cumberland Valley State Normal School
is to prepare young men and woman for the office of teacher in
our public schools. To this end the course of study, the methods
of instruction and the equipment of the school are most carefully
adapted.
Thorough knowledge of the fundamental branches of study
is the first thing. Without this no one is prepared to teach, no
matter what may be his attainments in other branches.
Many of our students find our course of study well suited to
their needs, as a practical preparation for business, or as a solid
foundation for more advanced work in college or university.
With the growing appreciation of thorough training in the funda­
mental branches we shall no doubt have an increasing number of
students of this class seeking the thorough grounding in these
branches that we give, and we welcome all such students and
feel confident that they will not be disappointed.
Still, the supreme object of our efforts is to prepare good teach­
ers. To this end, we have, year by year, added to our teaching
force, and have improved our equipment. We have profited by
the experience of thirty-five successful years, and feel sure that
every feature of the school is well adapted to the work.
The growing efficiency of our high schools in Pennsylvania
and the adjoining states is enabling us to secure students better
prepared for the work of our classes, and we are thus able to se­
cure a higher grade of work from them.
Our course of study gives an opportunity for some insight in­
to the more advanced subjects of study, such as Psychology and
the sciences. W e offer also good opportunities for the study and
training in Music and Fine Art, but these are not given to our
regular students till they are thoroughly grounded in the funda­
mentals.
English Grammar and Composition, Arithmetic and Algebra,
U. S. History and Geography are the ground work of all educa­
tion. Eatin is essential to a good knowledge of English. These
are the substantial studies of the first year, and must not only be
known but made familiar.

8

Cumberland V alley S ta t e N ormal S chool .

Then the more technical studies of the teaching profession are
given careful attention.
Chemistry and Physics are presented in such a way as to
give accurate and practical acquaintance with the principles of
these sciences— a safe and sure foundation for any course of study
in these subjects however advanced or specialized.
Other Sciences, other History, Civil Government, Literature
and Languages are included in the course of study, but our aim
is not to extend our course to cover the whole field covered by a
college curriculum, but to put our best energies into the complete
mastering of the fundamentals mentioned above.

Faculty.

The teaching force of the school consists of twenty-one mm bers. Every one is not only well educated, but has had exper­
ience in teaching. Most of them have taught in the public
schools of this State, and are familiar with the practical problems
and duties of that office. They are selected with great care, not
only as to their scholarship and experience, but also as to their
personal character and common sense. The work is distributed
into ten departments, as follows : English, Mathematics, History,
Science, Philosophy, Pedagogics, Latin, Modern Languages,
Music and Art. A t the head of each department is a professor who
is responsible for all the work of that department, though he may
have one or more colleagues in the work.
In addition to the theoretic studies of the course, the Model
School conducted by the Pedagogical Department offers valuable
opportunities for the practical application of principles taught in
the class room, and experience in active teaching.

Equipment.

Our equipment compared to that of the large colleges is
not extensive, but for our purpose it is adequate and of the best
quality.
The Class-rooms, Library, Chapel, Gymnasium and Studios
are thoroughly good and well fitted for their respective purposes.

Cumberland V alley S ta te N ormal S chool .

9

A Laundry costing over ten thousand dollars ; a bright and
well equipped infirmary; a large stable for the accommodation of
students who drive to school from the neighborhood, have been
recently added.
The Athletic field is the finest in the Cumberland Valley.
The Ladies’ Dormitory is a beautiful and convenient build­
ing, well heated, lighted and kept. The Men’s Dormitory in the
main building is very comfortable and well kept. In fact, nothing
is lacking in our provision for the comfort and welfare of our
students.
Location

The Cumberland Valley is famous for its beauty and its cli­
mate. Nothing in this latitude east of the Rocky Mountains is
equal to it as a place for schools. Shippensburg is a town of some
three thousand people, renowned for its churches and its prohibi­
tion. There are no saloons within ten miles of the town.
The Cumberland Valley, the Reading and the Western
Maryland railroads make it easy of access from all points.
The school buildings are situated on the edge of the town,
in a large campus, beautifully kept. The water supply is from
mountain springs, clear and pure and wholesome.
Students

Our students are for the most part from the substantial fami­
lies of Central Pennsylvania. They come from good homes and
almost without exception are well taught in scripture truth and
Christian morals. They are a sturdy and diligent class of young
people, bent on getting the worth of their time and money. The
tone of the school is remarkably earnest, but none the less bright
and merry and sweet.
Everything that can be done is done to make the school days
the best days, fullest of pleasant memories and freest from all
that may bring sorrow or remorse.
It is the constant effort of the faculty to co-operate with the
■ students in maintaining a bright and refined home life, and to
help them in the cultivation of that grace and dignity of deport­
ment that marks the real lady or gentleman.
The students are invited to suggest any changes in the rules
that may seem to them expedient. The discipline of the school

io

C umberland V alley S ta t e N ormal S chool .

is as free as possible from irksome rules or unnecessary restric­
tions of individual freedom.
But the few rules which the faculty enact they endeavor to
enforce with perfect fairness and absolute inflexibility.

Requirements for Admission.
1. Candidates for admission to the Junior class must be
well versed in all common school branches, including Grammar,
U. S. History and the elements of Algebra and Physiology.
2. A certificate of high school graduation will be accepted
in lieu of examinations in the foregoing subjects for admission to
the Junior class.
3. Students may be admitted at any time during the year,
but it is very much better if possible to begin at the opening o f
the Fall term.
4. Students will not be permitted to board outside the
school except with parents or near relatives.

Admission to the Middle and Senior Classes and
Rules for Final Examinations.

a State Normal School, must pass an examination by the Faculty
and State Board of Examiners in the academic studies of the
Junior year (except the Senior review studies), and Plane
Geometry or the first Book of Csesar, and must complete School
Management of the Middle year.
3. In order to be admitted to the Senior class, students must

the same examination at any other State Normal School during
the same school year.
5. I f a person who has completed the examination required
for admission to the Middle or Senior class at any State Normal
School, desires to enter another Normal School, the Principal of
the school at which the examination was held shall send the proper
certificate to the Principal of the school which the person desires
to attend. Except for the reason here stated, no certificate set­
ting forth the passing of the Junior or Middle year studies shall
be issued.
6. Candidates for graduation shall be examined by the
State Board in all the branches of the Senior year, including
English Grammar and Arithmetic. They shall have the op­

in all the studies in which they desire to be examined by the State

and presented to the Board. The certificate for the studies of the
Junior year shall also include the standing o f applicants in the re­
view studies of the Senior year.

and graduates of accredited colleges may become candidates for
the degrees of Bachelor of Pedagogics and Master of Pedagogics.

ography and Typewriting.
The charges for tuition in these subjects are very moderate
— see Expense, page 20.

Government and Discipline.
A ll school government should have for its end the develop­
ment of character in the individual student. Any method o f
government which does not secure this important end is wrong in
principle.
In a Normal school where the student is being trained to'
govern other students, there can be no excuse for loose govern­
ment. No person is qualified to teach in the public schools until
he has attained a complete mastery over himself. The individual

Cumberland ; V alley Sta te N ormal S chool .-;

17

who has been trained in school to habits of self-control and a wise
self-direction has received the best training which any school can
give him.
We rely largely upon the honor and self-respect of our
students in our efforts to control. A Normal school is not a re­
formatory, and parents and guardians are requested not to send
vicious or immoral students to our institution to be educated.
A few such students, if retained in a boarding school, vitiate the
entire moral atmosphere of the school, and make it an unsafe
place for even the well-behaved student to undertake his educa­
tion.
We notify the parents when we find their children are not
attentive to their studies, and if this course does not remedy the
matter, the parents will be asked to withdraw them from the
school. Students who are not making good use of their oppor­
tunities to receive an education, will not be retained in school.
Obedience on their part to the following rules and regulations
necessary to the successful management and control of a Normal
School, and also for the best interests of the students themselves.
No regulations are made which we do not regard as important:

1. Each student will be held responsible for the condition
of his room and its furniture, and he will be charged with any loss
or unnecessary damage.
2. No changes or alterations must be made in the permanent
parts of fixtures of the room; nor nails driven into the walls with­
out permission of the steward.
3. Students are requested to provide themselves with slippers

2. Students are required to attend the Sunday school held

excused.
3. From 2.00 p. m . to 5.00 p. m . will be observed as a quiet
period. During this time no singing, loud talking or other un­
necessary noise will be allowed in the building.
It must not be understood that the foregoing regulations em­
brace all the duties and obligations devolving upon the individual
student. No list o f rules can be made which would cover every
duty of the student under all the possible contingencies of Normal
School life. And, on the other hand, there are many habits and
forms of conduct so obviously out of harmony with the obliga­
tions of the person who is preparing to teach that it is not deemed
necessary to prohibit them by formal rule.
Our standard of conduct for those who are preparing to teach
under the tuition of the Cumberland Valley State Normal School
is so high that it would preclude anyone from looking to the pro­
fession of teaching for a life calling whose habits and conduct,
are not worthy the imitation of the children .who may be placed
under his instruction.

Departments of Instruction.

PHILOSOPHY.

D r . M a r t in .
Psychology.

The study of Psychology is intended as a foundation for the
study of Pedagogy.
Three hours a week throughout the Middle year is devoted to
this subject.
The course consists of a comprehensive survey of the whole
field of mental activities, with some special attention to the psy­
chology of childhood. The practical application of the principles
thus learned is discussed and worked out in the study of Methods.

PEDAGOGICS.

P rof . W y l ie .
Methods.

The latest improved methods of teaching the various subjects
are given to the Senior class by specialists in the different depart­
ments of teaching. Both the science and art of teaching are most
fully dealt with, and the student-teacher is made acquainted with
the very best ideas upon the subject of instruction. The various
methods given are fully exemplified before the Senior class, so
that the members may fully understand how to apply them. In
this department care is taken not to make the student-teacher a
mere imitator, but he is left to a certain extent to work out his
own special devices and methods, thus developing originality in
his work.
School Management.

The art of managing and conducting a school is made a
prominent part of the teacher’s professional training. He is given
approved plans concerning the location, arrangement and orna­
mentation of school grounds, and the latest and best plans for the
construction of school buildings. He is given the best experience
in the heating, lighting, ventilating and furnishing of school­
rooms. He is taught how to organize and govern successfully,
how to conduct recitations, how to keep pupils profitably em­
ployed, how to classify an ungraded school, and how to arouse an
interest among parents in school work.
The importance of making moral training the primary end in
school government is fully emphasized. The value of a school
requirement is measured by its effects upon the moral nature of
the pupils. That school is best controlled where the pupils are
gradually gaining increased power of self-control and a safer selfdirection.
History of Education.

In the History of Education the student is given the develop­
ment of the educational ideal among the leading nations of his­
tory., The various theories of education practiced in different
countries at different times are clearly presented, and the student

¡■ i

IN T E R IO R OF L A D IE S ’ D O R M IT O R Y

C umberland V alley Sta te N ormal S chool .

25

is given the data necessary in order that he may arrive at a safe
judgment as to the comparative value of the leading theories
made use of by these countries.
The lives of the leading educational reformers are given in
such a manner as to inspire the teacher with greater earnestness
•and zeal in his work.

Model School.

The Model School is the most distinctive feature of a Normal
School course. The Cumberland Valley Normal School has
always emphasized the importance of Model School work. The
State law requires twenty weeks of training in teaching during
“the Senior year, but this school requires daily work in the Model
School during the entire Senior year.
The pupils of the Model School are given a nine years’
course of instruction; similar to that of a good public school.
There is an enrollment of over one hundred pupils. The classes
are large enough to have the enthusiasm that comes from num­
bers, and yet not so large as to impede the progress of either
Teacher or pupil.
The student teacher, who has studied methods of teaching
previous to his Senior year, is given a chance to apply these
methods under careful supervision. He is encouraged to be
•original in his presentation of work. He is shown how to adapt
his work to a certain grade, or to an individual pupil. Neatness,
accuracy and thoroughness are emphasized in connection with
the daily preparation of his work, and he in turn emphasizes
these in his class-room.
Systematic reading of standard pedagogical works and cur­
rent literature pertaining to the special subject being taught is
required of all those taking the Model School training.
A large percentage of our students succeed as teachers. For
this as much credit is due to the work of the training department
■ as to the instruction given in any other department of the school.
We employ as critic teachers those who have had special training
for this kind of work. They are live teachers who work to keep
:in touch with the progressive schools of the country.

D r . G o rd in ier .

Orthography.

Orthography, including Etymology, Pronunciation and Defi­
nition, is an important subject of the curriculum. Poor spelling:
is often due to carelessness, but what can be expected when lack
of knowledge combines with carelessness? In addition to formal
lessons in Orthography, attention is given to spelling in all
classes.
Grammar.

The Study of Technical Grammar develops the mental powers,
and affords excellent drill in logical thinking. This is especially
true of oral analysis, and “ any one that can analyze the English
sentence is well prepared to analyze anything else. ’ ’ Scientific
and Technical Grammar is essential to clear expression in com­
position.
Rhetoric and Composition.

Rhetoric and Composition, as a formal study, occupies thefirst half of the Middle Year— recitations and themes daily.
Composition is continued with the Seniors in fortnightly themes.
The themes chosen aré such as lie, for the most part, within the
student’s experience and observation. Here thoughts are abun­
dant and composition thus becomes “ synthetic and constructive.” '
English Literature.

The primary aim in teaching Literature should be to culti­
vate a love for the beautiful and the true through the best
thoughts of great authors. The study of masterpieces of Litera­
ture enables the pupil to discriminate between what is elevating
and instructive, and what is trivial or harmful.
This course consists of a brief historical outline of English
and American Literature with illustrative studies. Unit selec­
tions by representative authors, and wide reading with a view to*
appreciation is the aim and method of this department.

MATHEMATICS.

P r o f . H eig es .

Arithmetic.

In Arithmetic the aim is to make the subject thoroughly
practical. Students are given to understand the importance ol
having pupils trained to rapid and accurate work in the funda­
mental rules. Considerable time is spent in teaching the subjects
which have a direct bearing upon the every-day affairs of life. A
great deal of time is given to the methods of treating common
and decimal fractions and percentage, as these subjects enter into
many of the business problems of daily life.
As far as possible, we adhere to the inductive method 01
teaching the subject. Suggestions for the construction of original
problems are frequently given throughout the course.
Algebra.;

It is the aim in this subject to give the student a clear and
complete knowledge of what is embraced in a standard work on
Elementary Algebra. An effort is made to develop the subject
gradually enough to make the pupil feel that he is mastering the
subject as he proceeds.
Rules are deduced from processes given in order that the
student may get the principles involved. Particular attention is
paid to factoring, as a thorough knowledge of this subject is
necessary to Success in the solution of many algebraic problems.
Geometry.

The purpose of teaching Geometry is first to discipline the
mind in sound reasoning. The following principles laid down by
Pascal are closely followed: “ To have no obscure terms unde­
fined ; to assume nothing not perfectly evident; to prove every­
thing at all doubtful, by reference to admitted principles.”
Great care is taken to have the definitions correctly given
and accurately learned.
The subject of Geometry is introduced by lessons in geomet­
rical drawing in the Junior year. The familiarity thus gained
with geometrical concepts will assist the student when he comts

s8

Cumberland V a lle y Sta te N ormal School .

to make use of these concepts in his demonstrations, and will also
help him to a fuller comprehension of the definitions of geomet­
rical terms.
In order that the teacher may be certain that students do
their own reasoning, a great deal of attention is given to the dem­
onstrations of original theorems.
Trigonometry and Surveying.

The subject of Trigonometry has increased in its scope until
it has become a practical subject. The work of calculating has
been made easier by the computation of the numerical values of
the trigonometric functions and the creation of a serviceable sys­
tem of logarithms. An effort is made to familiarize thoroughly
the student with the principles of this subject as well as with a
ready use of the tables. Besides this, interesting and practical
problems are selected with a view to awaken a real love for study.
The subject of Surveying is presented in a clear and intelli­
gible way, according to the methods in actual use at the present
day.

Geography.

Physical and Political Geography are included in this course.
Less attention is given to insignificant natural and political divis­
ions than they have received heretofore, and more time applied to
the study of the manufactures, commerce and farming and mine
products.
Comparative Geography is made prominent in dealing with
this important subject. By comparison the pupils get clearer
ideas of geographical divisions and places, and they are able to
retain their impressions longer. The railways and commercial
routes are definitely traced, and numerous imaginary trips are
made to different parts of the globe. The geographical informa­
tion of the pupils is often drawn upon to furnish material for
composition writing.

Cu m berlan d V a l l e y S t a t e N orm al S ch oo l.

29.

The home geography of the pupil is carefully and accurately
given as the first step in teaching this interesting subject. The
primary concepts of position, direction, distance, soil, climate and
natural productions are learned by the pupil as part of his first
geographical knowledge.

History of the United States.

History is taught primarily to impart to the student a knowl­
edge of events and the causes which have produced them. Unless
the relation of cause to effect is carefully traced, the student fails
to get any real benefit from the study of the subject.
The proper teaching of United States History will develop
a deeper love of country in the mind of the student, and lead him
to appreciate more fully the blessings of the government under
which he lives.
The study of the great lives in the history of our nation has.
a tendency to develop character in the pupil as well as devotion,
to liberty and union.

Civil Government.

The proper instruction of the student in Civil Government
includes a clear exposition of the great principles underlying the
Constitution, with a summary of the legislative provisions in
which they have been embodied. As the details of a government
are usually more interesting and more important to the average
student than the theories of government that may be obtained
from its written Constitution; the agencies of government and its.
machinery are very fully presented.

General History.

The work in this subject is limited to an intensive study o t
the history of Greece, Rome and England, and a brief considera­
tion of the Protestant Reformation. The movement in history,
and the ‘ 'logically germinal facts” of history with their determ­
ining force, is the ideal of instruction.

SCIENCE.

Pro f. N ew m an.
Physiology.

The work in Physiology and Hygiene is designed to give the
student such a knowledge of the structure and functions of the
principal organs of the body as will enable him to understand the
conditions under which these organs best perform their respective
offices. The subject of Hygiene is presented with special fullness,
embracing the subjects of ventilation and warming, exercise,
clothing, the organs of special sense, the effects of alcohol and
narcotics on the system, and the essential conditions for health
in the school-room.
Botany.

Tatter half of Middle Year.
By laboratory study careful attention to plant structure,
growth and physiology is given. This work is supplemented by
the study of text lectures, the assignment of topics for investi­
gation, requiring much use of the library and frequent class-room
quizzes. Toward the close of the spring term the members of the
class are encouraged to do as much work as possible in the field,
when particular emphasis is given to the habitat of the plants and
the result of their environment.
Physics.

In this department the plan of work is three-fold :
ist. Experimental, in which natural phenomena are studied
l>y aid of good apparatus, the students being aided by the instruc­
tor individually or in groups.
2nd. The phenomena noted are interpreted by aid of a
•standard text and much supplementary reading, with frequent
quizz.
3rd. By practical examples, an effort is made to illustrate
and fix the various laws.
In addition to the inductive study of the phenomena of
physics, the students are further trained in accurate physical

C um berlan d V a l l e y S t a t e N orm al S ch oo l.

observation and measurement by the performance of not less
than twenty-five experiments from the International Physics
Course, thus qualifying for admission to colleges.
The manufacturing plants in Shippensburg and vicinity are
visited for the purpose of noting the actual application of physical
principles. The history of the science is carefully treated.
Zoology.

First half of Middle Year.
Much time is given to the study of the structure, habits and
distinctive characteristics of the different phyla and orders, and
an effort is made to trace the development of the types from sim­
plicity to their highest generalization.
The laboratory work consists of the external examination of
one or more examples of each order of the arthropoda, with more
detailed dissection of many of the higher types below the vertebrata, and careful study of the vertebrate forms.
Variation and development of animal functions are carefully
treated by lecture; by frequent reference to the library and the
preparation of articles on the economic importance of animal life.
Students are encouraged to use all means at their disposal for
acquiring wide knowledge of animalic life. Constant quizzing
accompanies all class work.
Geology.

The students of the Senior year study Geology two terms.
The method used is the laboratory and field method. The school
is now in possession of a large collection of geological specimens
which will be arranged and classified for the instruction of next
year’s class and the classes following. The country around Ship­
pensburg is a very excellent one for geological excursions. The
rock formations of the surrounding country afford a good field for
the collection of geological specimens.
Chemistry.

Chemistry may be pursued by the students for a whole year.
To meet the demands of the new course of study, the school has
recently fitted up a very fine chemical laboratory. Part of the

time of the class is devoted to instruction in the theory of chem­
istry, but most of it is devoted to individual work, the studentsmaking their own experiments and tests and carefully recording;
the results of their labor.

VII.

LATIN.

Pr o f. Ste w a r t.

In the Latin department the Junior work consists of &
thorough drill in the common forms of the declensions and conju­
gations and the simple rules of Syntax, with written translations
of English into Latin. Then harder exercises, Roman fables and
history are read. Upon the completion of this course, the student
is thoroughly prepared to read Caesar intelligently.
In the Middle year Caesar is read. During this year the
student is required to put into practice his knowledge of Syntax
and inflectional endings. The greatest effort is made to secure
an elegant rendering of the text into idiomatic English, and to
furnish the student with a good vocabulary derived from the
Latin. Latin prose composition is also studied one day each
week, the exercises being based on Caesar.
Cicero and Virgil are read during the Senior year. It is the
aim of the department in the study of these classics to introduce
supplementary work on Mythology, Roman Customs and History.
Latin prose composition is studied during the first half of the
year, exercises being based on Cicero. During the entire course
particular stress is laid upon pure English translations and par­
ticular attention is paid to English derivatives.
Greek.

Greek may be elected in the Middle and Senior years. During
the first year the student is well grounded in elementary forms
and common rules of Greek Grammar. A good vocabulary and
an introduction to the Anabasis is required.
During the second year the study of the Anabasis is continued.
Also portions of the Iliad or the Odyssey are read.

MODERN LANGUAGE.

German and French.

In this department great stress is laid upon the fact that the
student is benefited more by learning how to translate easy texts
at sight than in the acquisition of a slight ability to speak either
language. Therefore easy works are selected in order to acquaint
the student with the idioms and elements of grammar, and enable
him to read rapidly.

Pianoforte.

Constant efforts are being made to reach and maintain higher
standards of excellence in the Pianoforte Department.
The facilities for practice have been immensely improved
during the past few years, by the addition of new pianos of
standard make, and the gradual exchange of the old instruments
for new, until now eleven pianos all in good condition are avail­
able.
The Eeschetitsky Method in technique has been followed in
the teaching of the Piano. As Leschetitsky stands as the most
famous teacher of the age, and has brought forth the most
noted artists like Paderewski, Madame Bloomfield-Zeigler and
others, his method stands pre-eminent for thorough and ef­
fective work.

The Course in Voice Culture has been arranged to cover
three years and comprises studies from Concone Vaccai Marchesi
and songs from the best composers.
A special course is given for those preparing to teach music
in public schools with the opportunity for actual teaching in all
grades of the Model School under the direction of the supervisor.
Particular attention is given to this line of Work, as the demand
for teachers is rapidly growing.
The Glee Clubs and choruses furnish an opportunity for
drill in sight reading and becoming acquainted with the compo­

ART.

H uber.

Manu-mental training being the object of art education to-day,
our art course has a two-fold aim : to train the hand to delicacy,
grace and speed of execution; to instill ideas of beauty, and to
cultivate habits of observation, good judgment and originality
of thought.
The student who arrives at these ends will, as a teacher, have
ability to illustrate lessons. As a practical man of affairs, he
will possess a rapid and accurate means of thought expression.
■ Socially, he will be known as a person of cultivated taste.

TECHNICAL STUDIES.

Q u ig l e y .

Bookkeeping.

In earlier days only those who expected to become account­
ants and merchants thought it necessary to study bookkeeping;
but public sentiment in this respect, in recent years, has been
rapidly changing. It is now generally admitted that every person
should be able to record properly common business transactions.
The simpler forms of bookkeeping must, therefore, be taught in
the public schools to meet the public demands for this kind of
knowledge as a part of the education of every child who reaches
the grammar school.
To prepare teachers to teach this subject is therefore an im­
portant part of the work of every Normal school.
Penmanship.

A poor penman is at almost as great a disadvantage as he
who speaks with a stammering or lisping tongue. The difficulty
of recognizing the words of a poor writer interferes with the quick
grasping of the thought. We aim to secure rapidity and legibility,
and we use the Spencerian system as a guide in practice. The
student is expected to understand the theory of an approved sys­
tem, and to be able to explain it intelligently to a class of children.
STENOGRAPHY.

Miss

“ To save time is to lengthen life,’ ’ says the author of one o f
the best systems of stenography.
The advantages of shorthand are so many and so manifest
that only a few years will elapse until it will become the universal
medium for correspondence. The principles of shorthand are sosimple that any ordinary child can learn them. The time has come

C um berland V a l l e y S t a t e N orm al S ch oo l.

37

when every writer, teacher, lawyer and clergyman should acquire
this art. It saves time. It saves space. It saves paper. It
quickens the mind as well as the hand.
Stenography and typewriting when combined, offer fine
business opportunities to young men and women, with fair com­
pensation.
PHYSICAL TRAINING.

M iss B a l d w i n .

The Physical Department is equipped with a fine gymna­
sium, athletic field, tennis courts and ground for out-door games.
It aims during the pupil’s three years&stay to give a graded
course in gymnastic work, including military tactics, exercises,
both hygienic and corrective, together with folk dances and
various kinds of rythmic work for muscular coortination. This
is supplemented by basket ball, base ball and other forms of ath­
letics. Each student has access to the gymnasium every day, and
during the course school hygiene and material for use in public
school work is presented.
RELIGIOUS SOCIETIES.

,

Our students are furnished excellent opportunities for spiritual
growth and development. We have a prayer and lecture service
every Wednesday evening conducted by a member of the Faculty,
to which all the students are invited. The service is attended by
a large number of students, and is full of interest and profit.
We have a Sabbath School organized among the students.
This service is held every Sabbath morning, and the exercises
are highly appreciated and greatly enjoyed by the school. The
school is divided into classes, each class being taught by a mem­
ber of the Faculty. The International Lesson is used.
Students, unless excused by the Principal, are required to
attend the church of their choice every Sabbath morning. The
church attendance in connection with the religious services at the
school, offers to them all the spiritual advantages that they would
receive at their own homes. In all proper ways Christian influ­
ences are thrown around the pupil, making his school life to con­
form as nearly as possible to home life in a Christian family.

College are its literary societies. The Normal and Philomathean
societies are strong, vigorous associations, and in their growth
are keeping equal pace with the growth of the school. They
meet in separate halls every Friday evening for the rendering ot
carefully prepared programs. These programs are highly enter­
taining and instructive, and those who take part in rendering
them bestow ample labor and care on their preparation.
The libraries of the two societies have been donated to the
school and now form part of the general school library. As the
school library is in charge of a librarian, the books donated by
the societies will be much more serviceable to the students since
they have been classified and placed on the shelves of the school
library. The societies are to be commended for their generosity
in making a gift of their libraries to the school.
READING ROOM.

The Reading Room of the Cumberland Valley State Normal
School is one of its most important features. A ll the prominent
magazines, periodicals, and many newspapers, daily and weekly,
are found upon the shelves and on the files in the handsome room
fitted up for library and reading-room purposes.
The students are encouraged to make good use of its privi­
leges, and the results are most gratifying. A librarian is always
in charge of the room when it is open, in order that perfect quiet
may reign, and that the students may get the largest profit possi­
ble from their hours spent in the reading-room. The student who
has graduated from a Normal School without having acquired a
taste for good literature, and a knowledge of how to read with the
greatest profitt is but poorly equipped for the work of teaching.

ADVANTAGES.

1. A lecture course of six numbers will be given by the
Normal School during the coming year. These lectures will be
free to all students in attendance at the time the lectures are given.
None but high-class' lecturers will be selected.
2. The training our graduates get in the Model School is
not surpassed and scarcely equaled by any of the other Normal
Schools of the State. Our Seniors do actual teaching in the
Model School under the direction of expert teachers throughout
the entire Senior year.
3. Our students all come under the instruction of the heads
of departments in all the subjects of the course. This is a great
gain to the student as it guarantees to him high class teaching in
all the subjects he is required to pursue.
SUGGESTIONS.

1. Come at the opening of the term and remain until its
close.
2. ,The Fall term is the best time to commence your Normal
Course.
3. Take at least a year to the Junior Course.
4. Give each subject in the course its full amount of atten­
tion.
5. Establish a reputation for character as well as scholar­
ship.
6. Make up your mind to be a close and dilligent student.
7. Be prompt and regular in your attendance upon classes.
8. Do not be satisfied with anything less than the highest
standing your ability will enable you to obtain.
9. Determine when you enter school to win the good-will
and respect of the entire faculty.
10. Read as many good books as possible during the time
devoted to your Normal Course.
11. Regard all the regulations of the school as intended for
3rour benefit.

[The following- speech was delivered by P rof. J. K . S T E W A R T on M emorial evening.

Bbrabam ^Lincoln.
I propose to speak of Abraham Lincoln as man, magistrate
and martyr. The first question about every man, whether famous
or infamous, is, what is he ? The personality explains the life.
Just as the oak is in the acorn so the career is in the man. It is
simply the unfolding oi what lies hidden in his nature.
What then were the characteristics of Abraham Lincoln ? Of
what manner of spirit was he ?
First. He was a plain man from beginning to end ; he was
born of humble parentage in obscurity and poverty. No glory
illumined the past of his family. No promise of glory spanned
the cradle in which he was rocked. He came from the lowest
condition, as so many great men have done. He knew from the
first what the struggle for existence means. His father and
mother had little learning themselves, and hence, could impart
but little to their children. There were no books in the family.
His “ schooling” , as we say, was meager in the extreme. Thus
he began at the lowest round of the ladder. He knew every step of
the ascent by heart, hence he could sympathize with all classes
and conditions of men. ' He loved the common people, because
he knew by experience what they had to suffer and overcome.
There was no spark of latent aristocrasy in his nature ; he cared
not for wealth or titles of honor. He respected no man because
of his circumstances or position. Like Burns, whom he resem­
bled in many respects, he felt that
“ The rank is but the guinea’s stamp,
A man’s a man for a’ that.’’
