' History of Buildings and Grounds.
This school, being that o f the Seventh Normal District, is lo­
cated at Shippensburg, Cumberland county, P a ., in a valley cele­
brated for its beautiful scenery, fertile soil, and salubrious air.
Skirted north and south by beautiful mountain ranges, a more de­
lightful place could not have been selected-for the location o f 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 p re va iled in the school.
The. surroundings are of 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 o f so extensive and varied valley and mountain
flora, To the student of Natural History, this affords many pe­
culiar advantages for original investigation and study.
Situated within half a mile o f the town, in which there are
churches of seven evangelical denominations, the opportunities for
attending religious services are unsurpassed elsewhere. The moral
and religious sentiment of 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 o f 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 o f the valley and the mountains skirting it on either side.Erected in 18 7 1 and 18 7 2, at a cost o f over $125 ,0 0 0 , 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 o f a Normal School.

CfuMBERLAND VALLEY S T A T E NORMAL SCHOOL.

One o f the finest Chapels connected with any State Normal
School, capable o f 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 o f excel­
lent spring-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 o f hose, attachments,
& c., for subduing fire, each story being in direct communication
with the reservoir supply.
The Campus comprises over ten acres, principally devoted to
the students for recreation.
Trees, deciduous and évergreen, in great variety, adorn the
campus and afford students an opportunity to become familiar
with this important department of botany.
An orchard and grapery oc'cupy the grounds to the west o f the
building.
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.
The South Pennsylvania railroad, now being constructed, will
shortly place the school in direct communication with the other­
wise isolated portions o f the district.

tion to the Principal at as early a date as possible.

Important to Students and Patrons.

Attention is directèd to the fact that the'building being lighted
by gas there is no expense to the student attendant upon the
breakage o f 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 o f the
weather at any time, and that tfifeir rooms and halls are as wellcared for as in any well-regulated ladies’ boarding-school. ■
A careful consideration o f the foregoing is asked of those who
are disposed5to consider the matter of expense.
At meals, each'table of ten persons fe in charge of a member o f
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 jSiphool is to prepare its
graduates for teaching in public schools, the methods o f instruc­
tion pursued are those which are calculated to bring about the
best results,mot alone to those preparing to teach, but to the gen­
eral student 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
ourcommon school laws.
We have frequent applications from school-boards for good
teachers. Teachers of largeruexperience 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.

The object o f the Normal School is" to labor faithfully and zeal­
ously to prepare those under its care for successful work in the
various schools o f our State. We strive to secure, by study, dis­
cipline, and instruction, thorough scholarship in the prescribed
course o f study, and, at all times, by our teaching, endeavor to use
the best methods for 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.
We claim that each recitation-room, in itself,; should, by the
character o f its work, be a Normal School— each teaching, by its
daily drill, the best methods of presenting the various subjects.
The summation o f all our work is to teach how to teach.
We send our graduates forth, not tp teach dissatisfaction with the
positions occupied by the parents o f the pupils of the present gen­
eration, but more thoroughly to qualify them, by their superior ad­
vantages, to fulfill the demands of the age in accordance with the
spirit o f the times.
We do not advance the idea that schools o f a different character
have not furnished, and do not continue to furnish, many excellent
teachers ; but we claim that schools organized for any special work
accomplish more than those engaged in gen eral educational work.
The success o f a large proportion o f the graduates o f Normal
Schools, in the several States in which they have been established,
fully corroborates the assertion.
We point with pride to the large percentage of normal graduates
engaged in teaching. Fewer leave this profession to engage in
other callings than the graduates o f any other class o f technical
schools. Carefully collected statistics show that upwards of eighty
per cent, of the graduates o f the Normal School of the Seventh
District have continued in the profession quite a number o f years
beyond the time required to obtain their diploma, and that many
have engaged in no other calling since their graduation.

MODEL SCHOOL.
B y a plan proposed by the present principal, we have â well-or­
ganized Model School, limited to sixty pupils. Excellent oppor­
tunities are now provided for practice teaching and observation of
the best methods of instruction. Thus,"each one, before gradua­
tion, becomes familiar with a model, both as to its plan o f instruc­
tion 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 o f educat­
ing those placed under their charge.
In addition to the requirements o f the law, our Seniors spend
one period each day for one month in a school of observation,
one o f the number conducting the recitation, the remaining ones
observing and criticising the methods adopted.
The work is finally criticised by the Principal o f the Model
School in the presence o f the entire Senior Class.
Special attention is given to Object Lessons, Drawing, Penman­
ship, and Vocal Music.

P a rtia l Course— Students preparing for college or business, be­
sides their special studies, can take up others in the regular course.

Mental and Moral Philosophy and Methods of
Instruction.
Special attention is given to Mental Philosophy and Methods o f
Instruction. Approved text-books are used, but also by means df
lectures and discussions, the Philosophy o f Mind, under the form
o f the Intellect, the Sensibilities, and the Will,, is extended to in­
clude the doctrine o f Moral Obligation, thus giving the student a
clear and comprehensive knowledge of the subject.
By daily work in the Model School for at least twenty-one w.eeks,
pupils are prepared for.future work in the school-room.. They
receive thorough training in methbds and practice of teaching the
subjects taught in the Commoii Schools, the work being done
under the personal supervision and direction o f the Principal' of
the school.
The methods used are .those:'approved by the ablest and most
experienced educators. By regular daily drill’ the teacher has
constant practice in imparting what he is receiving, and thus
theory and- practice are made' to go hand in hand.

English Language and Literature.
It is admitted on alll sides that the English language cannot be
mastered by the study o f Grammar only, nor i f y mere reading.
The theory of language is the expression o f thought, correctly
and concisely.' The study of the English language in its widest
sense means the study o f English prose and verse, and a constant
practice in Composition.
The aim, therefore, in this department o f our school, is: ( i ) To
give the pupil a good knowledge of his mother-tongue, embracing
its history, structure, and philological relations! (2) To cultivate
the power o f thought, and to aid and encourage the pupil in the
expression of thought, ip the form of both verbal and written com­
position : (3) To form and cultivate a taste for good literature, and
to lead the pupil by successive steps up to the appreciation o f the
English; classics, which, in the advanced classes, are studied criti­
cally, and with no less.zeal and faithfulness than the ancient classics
are in our best c o l l e g e s (4) So to illustrate the principles which

C um berland V a lley - S t a t e N orm al ' S chool .

29

should guide in selecting authors and’works to be read as to give
the pupil aptitude and zest for reading after he has left school.
The S enior C ourse in English Literature w ill' include the fob
low in g:
I. The history of the English language.
II. A general outline, or the history and development o f E n g ­
lish literature from Chaucer to the Nineteenth Century.
III. A full discussion of the life and writings of Irving, Cooper,
Bryant, Hawthorne, Longfellow, Whittieí¡,i and Holmes.
IV . The critical study oLthe selections in Swinton’s :l Seven
Ameritan Classics.”

Latin Language.
One year’s study o f Latin is required for graduation. The aim
in our instruction is to make the pupil thoroughly acquainted with
the grammatical forms of the language and the philosophical prin­
ciples underlying the syntax, keeping constantly in mind the funda­
mental distinctions between the Latin and o.ur own, dwelling par­
ticularly on those points in the former which serve to illustrate and
explain the latter. Particular attention is, therefore, paid to E ty ­
mology, Morphology, and the laws of decay and growth in lan­
guage, b y means o f which the etymology of the Roman element
o f our tongue is fully exemplified, and the student is taught to see
that there is a history of language and a history /« language.

Mathematics.
Arithmetic, Algebra, and Geometry are the three branches re­
quiring 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 o f graduation.
Surveying we make practical by allowing the student the use of
the transit in the field, aided by the teacher.

Vocal and Instrumental Music.
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 the Rudiments of Music and
the Theory of Sight Singing. Practice in singing the best part

30

C um berland V a l l e y S t a t e N ormal S chool .

songs and choruses furnishes not only the necessary drill in read­
ing music, but also a knowledge o f good music. Those taking
the Professional'Course receive instruction in the best methods of
teaching music, and thus are prepared to supply one o f the greatest
needs o f the times, that o f teachers o f music in public schools.
The increasing popularity of the Department o f Vocal and In ­
strumental Music is sufficient evidence o f the unusual advantages
offered. Vocal culture is taught in accordance with the Italian
Method, as interpreted by the best teachers o f that school. The
method is based upon a thorough knowledge of the anatomical
construction o f the vocal organs, a knowledge so often neglected
and yet so necessary to the perfect understanding o f so délicate a
musical instrument as the human larynx.
A thorough knowledge o f 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 o f ancient and modern times.
Those desiring instructions on the Cabinet Organ will receive
careful attention.

Natural Sciences.
For instruction in these branches there is a large and valuable
collection o f Philosophical and Chemical apparatus, o f which
frequent use is made in the regular recitations.

The Museum.
The Museum contains extensive collections o f
Specimens, ample for the instructional needs o f the
department. A Herbarium, containing specimens
tive plants as found iii Gray, is being prepared,
specimens o f our various woods.

Reading and Elocution.
The object of this department is to-secure a natural, easy style
of delivery. To 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

Industrial Drawing.
The wide-spread introduction o f Drawing in our schools renders
it necessary that teachers be prepared to give instruction in this
important and now all-practical branch, o f 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, oil­
cloths, pottery, laces, embroidery, etc.f| 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 o f a
draughtsman or designer.

United States History and Constitution.
In order to prepare our students for their duties as/'citizenS, a
thorough 'study is made o f the history and Constitution o f our
Government. Our aim is : 1. To trace the origin', development,
and growth o f our country ànd institutions. 2. To keep in mind
the unity of history. 3. To trace causes to their effects, and con­
stantly to go back o f every effect to find it ® cause. 4. To show
the advantages of our form o f government over every other form.
5. To impress upon the minds of the pupils'the’necessity o f up­
holding our institutions and Government.
6. T o broaden the"
views o f the student and lead him to appreciate the great questions
which, from time to time, our citizens are'called upon to décident
the ballot-box. Text-book recitations are mostly discarded, and
the student’s knowledge of the subject is Called into requisition.

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

Practical Object Lessons.
The Principal, at stated periods during the Spring and Fall Ses­
sions, will impart instruction upon the following and kindred sub­
jects:
1. The Morphology o f Plants.
2. The Names and Economic Value of Trees.
3. Testing Seeds as to Vitality and Purity, • ;
4. Cross-Fertilization and Production o f New Varieties.
■ 5. Grafting and Budding---various'ways.
6.. Pruning for Fruit or for Wood.
7. ' Propagating by Layers and Cuttings.
8. Care o f Small Fruits..
9. Knowledge o f Noxious Insects, and Plants.
10. General Care o f Trees and Plants, &c.
Having recently planted an orchard o f one hundred apple, peach,
and pear trees upon the Normal grounds, ample opportunity is fur­
nished for eminently practical instruction in this direction. Such
information must prove more profitable and instructive'than much
useless matter considered at present in many schools.

Social Culture.
The .divine model o f the school is the perfect family, where
youth o f both sexes,, under the restraints o f parents, strengthen
and refine each other mutually by their complementary qualities.
In recitations, general exercises in chapel, and occasional gather­
ings in parlors, in presence o f 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.

Instructions in Principles of Teaching, &c.
This course embracesfamiliar practical discussion o f the ( 1 ) na­
ture and purpose o f education; (2) forces and agencies requisite in
the work and processes of education; (3) true province of teachers
and pupils; (4) nature, powers, and faculties o f the mind; (5)
laws and conditions o f mental development; (6) applications o f the
same in. elementary teaching; (7) organization, government, and
management of district schools; (8) duties, rights, and obligations
of teachers; (9) school system and school law; (10 ) lives, labors,
and methods o f eminent teachers.

Moral and Religious Culture.
While in no sense or degree sectarian, a State Normal-School in
and for a Christian State and a Christian peopfishould lie Christian
in the broadest and best sense o f the term. We believe that the
Bible is the best têxt-book of morals. It will, therefore,, be read
daily in
opening exercises o f 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. The students
are required to attend some one. o f the churches o f the borough
every Sabbath morning.

Home Comforts.
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
study is weariness of the. fiSsh,” r
. In order that students may reach the highest degree o f 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 tablés
which is not surpassed by any school in the State in the abovementioned. respects.
.
;

Text-Books.
Text-books and Stationery can be had at the lowest selling prices
at the book-room o f the building. So far as we can, we use the
text-books in common use in the; schools o f this State, but, for'the
sake of uniformity, a few books will ordinarily have to be pur­
chased.

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

tionary, and other books o f reference as far as convenient.

Deportment.
The object o f this School is to prepare young men and women
for successful teachers. Self-government is essential for success in
teaching. Obedience to reason and conscience is self-government.
Remember, the only improvement is self-improvemeht. Students
must not expect certificates and diplomas based on Scholarship
alone y they are lialM'ét to rejection on th e ‘ score o f character.
Students are put on their honor to obey thè régulations o f this
school.
It is expected’ that the ladies and gentlemen o f 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 are
forbidden.

the Faculty and of the Normal Schôol Board of Examiners ap­
pointed by State authority, will receive Diplomas conferring the
