This school, organized in 1873, being that of the Seventh Nor­
mal District, comprising the counties o f Adams, Bedford, Blair,
Cumberland, Franklin, Fulton and Huntingdon, is located at
Shippensburgi Cumberland county, Pa., in a valley celebrated
for its beautiful scenery, fertile soil, and salubrious air.
Skirted
north and south by beautiful mountain ranges, a more delightful
place could not have been selected for the location of an educational
institution.
The buildings stand upon an eminence sloping in all directions,
thus furnishing a natural drainage that renders the grounds pleas­
ant and exceedingly healthful.
Being remote from low grounds, no malaria exists in the vicin­
ity. N o epidemic o f any character has ever prevailed in the school.
The surroundings are o f such a character as to be conducive to
intellectual advancement.
No other school in the State is more happily situated in a sec­
tion possessed of so extensive and varied valley and mountain flora.
T o the student of Natural History, this affords many peculiar' ad­
vantages for original investigation and study.
Situated within half a mile of the town, in which there are
churches of seven evangelical denominations, the opportunity for
attending religious services is unsurpassed elsewhere. The moral
and religious sentiment o f the community exerts a beneficial in ­
fluence upon the students;;^'
The pastors and members o f the various churches welcome stu­
dents to their places of worship, and delight in making them feel
that they are in the midst of friends who will exercise a care over
them next to that enjoined upon their parents,/ The temptations
to evil are few, and the influence o f the Church and Sabbath-school
is salutary in restraining the thoughtless and indifferent.
From their elevated position, the buildings have .an extended
view of the valley and the mountains skirting it on either side.
Erected in 1871 and 1872, at a cost o f over $125,000, they are
imposing in appearance, admirably adapted to their purpose, and
impress all with their home-like aspect.

They have been designed externally in accordance with fine
architectural taste, and internally have been planned to meet all
the requirements of a Normal School.
One of the finest Chapels connected with any State Normal
School, capable of comfortably seating an audience of a thousand
persons, is a prominent feature of this building.
Recitationrooms and students’ rooms are well ventilated, light, and cheerful.
The building is heated by steam in recitation-rooms, corridors,
parlors, & c., and lighted by gas. An abundant supply of excel­
lent mountain-water is distributed throughout the building, and
large reservoirs upon the fifth floor can be utilized in case of fire.
Most admirable arrangements exist in the way of hose, attachments,
& c., for subduing fire, each story being in direct communication
with the reservoir supply. The building is also supplied with fireescapes of approved style.
The Campus comprises over ten acres, principally devoted to
the students for recreation.
Trees, deciduous and evergreen, in great variety, adorn the
campus knd afford students an opportunity to become familiar
with this An orchard and grapery occupy the grounds to the west of the
buildings.
The Cumberland Valley railroad extends along the entire south­
ern boundary of the campus, and a station at its east corner affords
students and visitors the advantage of stopping at the school-building
and saves all expense in transporting baggage to and from the
school. , Two new roads— the Baltimore and Cumberland Valley
and the Harrisburg and Potomac— furnish additional facilities for
reaching the school.
A number of improvements made during the past year, have
added much to the attractiveness o f our school, and we are 'now
better prepared than ever to provide for the comfort and advance­
ment of our pupils.
It is our aim to give them all the advantages of a refined home,
and to make the school a credit to the State and to the community
in which it is located; a place to which parents may safely send
their children, with full assurance that they will be surrounded by
healthful, social, and moral influences.

IM P O R T A N T T O S T U D E N T S A N D P A T R O N S .

Attention is directed to the fact that the building being lighted
by gas there is no expense to the student attendant upon the
breakage of chimneys, lamps,.etc. ; that being heated by steam,
there is no inconvenience in keeping fires and carrying coal and
ashes ; that water being carried through the building in pipes, it
is at all times easily obtained/
The attention of lady students is especially invited to the fact
that they are not necessarily exposed to the inclemency of the
weather at any time, and that their rooms and halls are as well
cared for as in any well-regulated ladies’ boarding-school,
A careful consideration of the foregoing is asked of those who
are disposed to consider the matter of expense.
At meals, each table of ten persons is in charge of a member of
the faculty, thus securing correct deportment, careful attention to
table etiquette, and no distinction in fare for teachers and pupils.
While the special work of the Normal School is to prepare its
graduates for teaching in public schools,.the methods of instruc­
tion pursued are those which are calculated to bring about the
best results, not alone to those preparing to teach, but to the gen­
eral student as well.
Students and graduates from the State Normal Schools much
more readily find employment as teachers than students from other
schools.
The diploma from the State Normal School is a perpetual State
certificate, giving authority to teach anywhere in the State without
further examination by authorities acting under the provisions of
our common school laws.
We have frequent applications from school-boards for good
teachers.
Teachers of large experience come here to better
qualify themselves for their work.
Thus we are enabled to fur­
nish good teachers with good positions, and good positions with
good teachers.

O B JE C T O F T H E N O R M A L SCHOOL.

The object of the Normal School is to labor faithfully and zeal­
ously to prepare those under its care for successful work in the
various schools of our State. We strive to secure, by study, dis­
cipline, and instruction,; thorough Scholarship in the prescribed
course of study, and, at all times, by our teaching, endeavor to
use the best method of producing these results, being assured that
there is no better way by which to render our students successful
teachers than by using the best methods of instruction during each
recitation. Each recitation-room, in itself, should, by the char­
acter of its work, be a Normal School— each teaching, by its daily
drill, the best methods o f presenting the various subjects.
We do not advance the idea that schools o f a different character
have not furnished, and do not continue to furnish, many excel­
lent teachers ; but we claim that schools organized for any special
work accomplish more than those engaged in general educational
work.
The success of a large proportion of the graduates of Normal.
Schools in the several States in which they have been established,
fully corroborates this assertion.
We point with pride to the large percentage of Normal gradu­
ates engaged in teaching. Carefully collected statistics show that
upwards of eighty per cent, of the graduates of the Normal School
of the Seventh District have continued in the profession quite a
number of years beyond the time required to obtain their diplomas,
and that many have engaged in no other calling since their grad­
uation.

The Normal Schools, in addition to the thorough scholastic cul­
ture which they give their students in the several branches of the
Normal Course, aim, also, to furnish them with that professional
training which is essential to their success in teaching. This pro­
fessional training includes :
F irst. A true conception o f the object o f education.
Second. A correct knowledge of the methods by which this ob­
ject may be attained.
Third. A comprehensive knowledge o f the human mind and the
laws incident to its development.
Fourth. A clear understanding of the natural order of mind de­
velopment.
F ifth . A right understanding of the methods by which the sev­
eral faculties of the mind may receive culture.
Sixth. A proper understanding o f the methods by which thé
child may receive physical culture.
Seventh. A clear conception of the child’s moral nature and the
means for its development.
Eighth. A correct interpretation of the school laws of our Com­
monwealth.
N inth. A full discussion of the methods of school management.
Tenth. A careful training in practice teaching, under the eye
i and direction of the Superintendent o f the Model School.
Eleventh. A knowledge of the relation of School Government to
the moral well-being of the child.
Tw elfth. A knowledge o f the means and methods by which the
æsthetic culture of the child may be obtained.
Thirteenth. A knowledge o f the means and methods by which
art culture may be made available to the children in our public
schools.
Fourteenth. A knowledge; of the history and philosophy o f edu­
cation.

At a meeting of the Principals of the State Normal Schools, the
following action was had in regard to admission to classes :
1 . That admission to the Senior Class shall be determined by the
State Board of Examiners at the annual examination by the Board.
2. That, in order to be admitted to the Senior Class, students
must be qualifiedi|in the Junior studies, but the examination in
Pedagogics shall be deferred to the Senior year— the examination
in the remaining studies of Junior year to be final.
3. That any person or persons not in actual attendance during
the spring session, if recommended by the Faculty, may be exam­
ined in the Junior studies at the opening of the fall term, by the
Principal and two Superintendents who are members of the State
Board, and the examination papers, if approved by these three
examiners, shall be submitted to the Superintendent of Public In­
struction for approval; and if he approve them, such person or
persons shall be admitted to the Senior Class.
4. That a certificate setting forth the fact of the passing o f the
Junior Course of Study shall be prepared by the Department, and
signed by the Board, and shall entitle, the holder thereof to ad­
mission into the Senior Class of any State Normal School of Penn­
sylvania at the beginning o f any Senior year.
Examination o f candidates for entering school, on the first day
of each term, or on the day of entering during term time.
Annual examination at the end of school year for promotion by
classes.
Individual examinations and changes at the discretion of the
Principal.
The examination of graduating class about two weeks before the
close of the school year, the particular time to be fixed by the State
Superintendent.
Candidates for examination for graduation must be recom­
mended by the Faculty to the Board of Examiners.
The State Superintendent, who is president o f the Board, two
principals of State Normal Schools, and two county superintend­
ents of the district, constitute the State Board o f Examiners.

I nstitution .

M o d e l S c h o o l.
We have a well-organized Mode.l School, in which excellent op­
portunities are now provided for practice teaching and observation
o f the best methods of instruction. Thus, each one, before gradua­
tion, becomes familiar with a model school, both as to its plan o f
instruction and general management.
Our graduates go out from us not only well prepared in matter
and methods, but with a noble ambition to do all in their power
to make our schools more efficient in the ground-work of educat­
ing those placed under their charge.
In addition to the requirements of the law, our Seniors spend
one period of each day for one month in a school of observation,
one of the number conducting the recitation, the remaining ones
observing and criticising the methods adopted.
The work is finally criticised by the Principal of the Model
School in the presence of the entire Senior Class:
Special attention is given to Object Lessons, Drawing, Penman­
ship, and Vocal Music.

ciples underlying the syntax, keeping constantly in- mind the fun­
damental distinctions between the Latin and our own, dwelling
particularly on those points in the former which serve to illustrate
and explain the latter. Particular attention is, therefore, paid to
Etymology, Morphology, and the laws of decay and growth in
language, by means of which the etymology of the Roman ele­
ment of oür tongue is fully exemplified, and the student is taught
to see that there is a history of language and a history in language.

Arithmetic, Algebra, and Geometry are the three branches requiring completion in the elementary course. This department
being one of special importance in the course, the instruction will
be given with care and thoroughness, so that the diligent student
will be fully up to the standard at the time of graduation.

The Philosophy of the human mind, including the intellect, the
sensibilities and the will, is taught from a text-book and by class­
room talks. It is designed to discipline and strengthen the intel­
lectual faculties, and at the same time to be â practical preparation
for teachers. Every effort is made to lead students to become ob­
servant of human, character, especially in the earlier stage of its
development. The principles of the science that have relation to
teaching are fully brought o'ut and applied to actual school, work.

As the world grows more enlightened, the demand for music in­
creases. In response to the demand, we are able now to furnish
such instruction as is most needed.
In the Vocal Department are given, free of extra charge, Class
Lessons, in which pupils are taught thé Rudiments of Music: and
the Theory of Sight Singing. Practice in singing the best part
songs and choruses furnishes, not only the necessary drill in read­
ing music, but also a knowledge of good music. Those taking
the Professional Course receive instruction in the best methods of

teaching music, and thus are prepared to supply one of the greatest
needs of the times, that of teachers of music in public schools,'
The increasing popularity of the Department of .Vocal and In­
strumental Music is sufficient evidence of the unusual advantages
dffered. Vocal culture is taught in accordance with the Italian
Method, as interpreted by the best teachers of that school. The
method is based upon a thorough knowledge of the anatomical
construction of the vocal organs, a knowledge so often neglected
and yet so necessary to the perfect understanding of so delicate a
musical instrument ah the human larynx.
A thorough knowledge of Piano Technics is taught through the
studies of Czerny, Krauss,- Kohler, Heller, Chopin, and others,
and style and artistic expression are studied from the best com­
posers'of ancient and modern times.
Those desiring instruction on the Cabinet Organ will receive
■ careful attention.

For instruction in these branches there is a large and valuable

frequent use is made in, the regular recitations.

The object of this department is to secure natural, easyptyle
o f delivery. T o this end students are required to give carefully
prepared readings and recitations from the rostrum.
Clear, distinct enunciation is not less important in daily recita­
tions and conversation than on the platform, and to secure this,
students are thoroughly trained in the principles which underlie
good articulation.
In advanced classes special attention is given to Vocal Culture
and Methods of Instruction.

The wide-spread introduction of Drawing in our schools renders
it necessary that teachers be prepared to give instruction in this
important and now all-practical branch of'education.
The latest and most approved methods have been pursued with
very satisfactory results.
From the first step in the course an effort is made to render the
work attractive. , Designs for special purposes, wall-paper, o il
cloths, pottery, laces, embroidery, etc., enter largely into'class
exercises.
Those who wish can take a special course in drawing, which will
fit them for positions as teachers, or to enter the office of a
draughtsman or designer.

In order to prepare our students for their duties as citizens, a
thorough study is made of the history and Constitutions of our
Government. Our aim is : i. To trace the origin, development,
and growth o f our country and institutions. 2. To keep in mind
the unity of history. 3. To trace causes to their effects, and con­
stantly to go back of every effect to find its cause.1 4. To show
the advantages of our form of government over every other form.
5. To impress upon the minds of the pupils the necessity of up­
holding our institutions and Government. 6. To broaden the
views of the student and lead him to appreciate the great ques­
tions which, from time to time, our citizens are called upon to de­
cide at the ballot-box. Text-book recitations are mostly discarded,
and the student’s knowledge of the subject .is called into requisi­
tion.

Book-keeping by single entry is required for graduation, and
in this study the aim is to give the student sufficient knowledge
of the art and science of accounts to fit him for transacting, intel­
ligently, the business of every-day life.
The elements o f Con­
tracts, the nature o f Drafts, Checks, Notes, & c., are thoroughly
studied and supplemented by a course of lectures on the nature
and functions of money. Practice is given in writing the various
forms of paper used in commercial transactions.

The divine model of the school is the perfect family, where
young of both sexes, under the restraints o f parents, strengthen
and refine eacK other mutually by their complementary qualities.
In recitations, general exercises in chapel, and occasional gather­
ings in parlors, in presence of instructors, ladies and gentlemen
will meet and find opportunities for social culture. Social singing
o f one hour each Sabbath is held in the parlors.

While in no sense or degree sectarian, a State Normal School
in and for a Christian State and a Christian people should be
Christian in the broadest and best sense of the term. We believe
that the Bible is the best text-book of morals. It will, therefore,
be read daily in the opening exercises of the schools, with prayer
and sacred songs.
There is a prayer-meeting on Wednesday evening, which is vol-.
untarily attended by both professors and students'.1 The students
are required to attend some one o f the’ churches of the borough
every Sabbath morning.

It is a well-established fact that mental labor is many times
more exhaustive than physical labor.
No one requires more nutritious' food than the student. “ Much
labor is weariness of the flesh.”
In order that students may reach the highest degree of intel­
lectual growth, we hold that they should have food abundant in
quantity and excellent in quality.
The Principal, therefore, pays special attention* to the table,
which is not surpassed by any school in the State in the above
mentioned respects.

These societies meet in separate halls on Friday evening of each
week for literary purposes. Great interest is taken in the exer­
cises by the students* and the experience thus gained in public
speaking is of great benefit to the pupils. The Libraries of these
Societies form a valuable addition to that of the School, and in­
clude many works of the best English and American literature, as
well as books of reference in the various departments of study.

The object of this school is to prepare young men and women
for successful teachers. Self-government is essential to success in
teaching. Obedience to reason and conscience's self-government.
Remember, the only improvement is self-improvement. Students
must not expect certificates and diplomas based on Scholarship
alone; they are liable to rejection on the score of character.
Students are put on their honor to obey the regulations o f this
Hfehool.
It is expected that the ladies and gentlemen of this Institution
will treat each, other with politeness and courteous civilities ; but
whenever they transcend the proprieties of refined society, they
are liable to dismissal. Private walks and talks at any time arfe
forbidden.
G r a d u a t io n .
Candidates for graduation who receive the joint approval o f the
Faculty and of the Normal School Board of Examiners appointed
by State authority, will receive Diplomas conferring the degree of
Bachelor o f the Élém ents, or Bachelor o f the Sciences, on ^com­
pleting the prescribed course.
Successful teachers of three years’ experience and twenty-one
years of age will also receive Degrees on complying with the above
conditions of examination.
The Degree of Master in each course will be conferred on the
graduates after two years of successful experience in teaching im­
mediately succeeding graduation, when the fact, together with the
possession of a good moral character, is certified to by the School
Directors and County Superintendent under whose direction they
have taught. Students can complete the several courses without attending con­
tinuously, provided they take the required standing at examina­
tion, have taught twenty-one weeks in the Model School, and sat­
isfy the Faculty and Board of Examiners that their skill and suc­
cess in teaching and moral-character warrant it.

History of Buildings and Brounds-^This school, organized in 1873, being that of the Seventh Nor­
mal Dis’frièfj ' comprising the counties'of Adams, Bedford, Blair,
Cumberland, Franklin, Fulton and Huntingdon, is located at Shippensburg, Cumberland county, Pa., in a valley celebrated for its
beautiful scenery, fertile soil; and' salubrious air.
Skirted n'orth
and south hy beautiful mountain ranges, a more, delightful place,
could not have been selected for the location o f an educational in­
stitution.
The buildings stand upon an eminence sloping in all directions,
thus furbishing a natural drainage that renders the grounds pleas­
ant and exceedingly healthful.
Being remote from low grounds, no malaria exists in the vicinity.
N ot epidemic o f any character has every prevailed in the school. The
surroundings are of such a character as to bê conducive .to intellec­
tual advancement. ;
No other school in the State is more happily situated, in a section
pqsseSsed o f so extensive and varied valley and mountain flora.
To the student o f Natural History, this affords many peculiar ad­
vantages for original investigation and study.
Situated within half a mile o f the town, in which' thére^are
churches of seven evangelical denominations, the opportunity for
attending religious services is unsurpassed elsewhere. The moral
and religious'sentiment o f the community exerts a bénéficiai influ­
ence upon the students.
The pastors and members o f the Various churches welcome stu­
dents to their places o f worship, and delight in making them feel
that they are in the midst o f friends who willexercisé a care over
them next to that enjoined upon their parents. The temptations
to evil are few, and the influence o f the Church and Sabbath-school
is salutary in restraining the thoughtless and indifferent.
From their elevated position, the buildings4 have an extended
view o f the valley and the mountains skirting it on either side.
Erected in 1871 and 1872, at a cost o f over $125,000, they are im­
posing in appearance, admirably adapted to their purpose, and im­
press all with their home-like aspect.

They have been designed externally in accordance with fine
architectural taste, and internally have been planned to meet all
the requirements, o f a Normal School!
One of the finest Chapels connected with any State Normal
School, capable o f comfortably seating an audience o f a thousand
persons, is a prominent feature o f this building. Recitation-rooms
and students rooms are well ventilated, light, and cheerful.
The building is heated by: steam in recitation-rooms, corridors,
parlors, & c ., and lighted by gas. An abundant supply of excellent
mountain-water is distributed throughout the building, and large
reservoirs upon the fifth floor can be utilized in case of fire. Most
admirable arrangements exist in the, way of hose, attachments, & c.,
for subduing fire, each story being in direct communication with
the reservoir supply. ThAbuilding is also supplied with fire-escapes
o f approved style.
The Campus comprises over ten acres, principally devoted to the
students for recreation.
Trees, deciduous and evergreen, in great variety, adorn the
campus and afford students an opportunity to become familiar with
this important department o f botany.
A n orchard and grapery occupy the grounds to the west of the
buildings.
The Cumberland Valley railroad extends along the entire south­
ern boundary o f the campus, and a station at its, east corner affords
students and visitors the advantage of stopping at the school-build­
ing and saves all expense in transporting baggage to and from the
school. Two new rpads-j-^the r Baltimore and Cumberland Valley
and the Harrisburg and Potomac— furnish additional facilities for
reaching the'school.
A number o f improvements made during the past year, have
added much to the attractiveness o f uur .school, and we are now
better prepared than ever to provide-for the comfort and advance­
ment o f our pupils.
It is our aim to give them all the advantages o f a refined home,
and to make the school a credit to the State and to the community
in which it is located ; a place to which parents may safely send
their children, with full assurance that they will be surrounded by
healthful, social, and moral influences.

•$-Important to Students and Patrons
Attention is directed to the fact that the building being lighted
by gas there is no expense to the student attendant upon the break­
age o f chimneys, lamps, etc. ; that being heated by steam, there is
no inconvenience in keeping fires and tarrying coal and ashes; that
water being carried through the building in pipes, it is. at all times
easily obtained.
The attention o f lady students is especially invited to the fact
that they are not necessarily exposed to the inclemency o f the
weather at any time, and that their rooms;}and halls are as well
cared for as in any well-regulated ladies’ boarding-school.
A careful consideration o f the foregoing is asked o f those who
are disposed to consider the matter of expense.’
A t meals, each table o f ten persons is in charge o f a member of
the faculty, thus securing correct deportment, careful attention to
table etiquette, and no distinction in fare for teachers and pupils.
While the special work o f the Normal School is to prepare its
graduates for teaching in public schools, the methods o f instruction
pursued are, those which are calculated to'Taring about the best re­
sults,'not alone to those preparing to teach, but to the general stu­
dent as well.
Students and graduates from the State Normal School much
more readily find employment as teachers than students from other
schools.
The diploma from the State Normal School is a perpetual State
certificate, giving authority to teach anywhere in the State without
further examination by authorities acting under the provisions of
our common school laws.
We have frequent applications from school boards for good teach­
ers. Teachers o f large experience come here ' to better . qualify
themselves for their work. Thus we are enabled to furnish good
teachers with good positions, and good positions with good teachers.
