This School is located at Shippensburg, Cumberland county, Pa.,
in one o f the most beautiful and fertile valleys o f the State, justly
celebrated for its healthy, invigorating atmosphere and freedom
from malaria.
The surroundings are highly favorable for the advancement o f
education. The moral and religious sentiment o f the community
is well calculated to throw around the student the most favorable
influences. The town, with a population o f about 2,500, has seven
evangelical churches o f different denominations, to all o f which the
students have free access upon the Sabbath, and are heartily wel­
comed. The temptations to evil are few', and the moral atmosphere
is such as to restrain the thoughtless and wayward.
The buildings are situated on an elevated plateau north o f the
town, commanding an extended view o f the valley and the surround­
ing mountains in every direction. They were erected in 1871 and
1872, at a cost o f over $125,000.
The interior arrangements o f the building have been planned
with special reference to the wants o f a Normal School. The Chapel,
one o f the finest halls in the State, wiil seat comfortably one
thousand persons. The dormitories and recitation rooms have
been arranged and furnished with special reference to the comfort
and convenience o f the students. The building is heated through­
out by steam, and lighted by gas. A copious supply o f pure spring
water is distributed by pipes through the building, so as to be ac­
cessible at all times.
The grounds comprise over ten acres principally devoted to the
use o f students for purposes o f recreation. Within the past year
a fountain has been erected, a large number o f trees and shrubbery
have been added, and other improvements have been made in the
way o f laying out and beautifying the grounds.
The Cumberland Yalley Railroad skirts the southern boundary
o f the school grounds, and a station in front o f the school buildings
affords students and others visiting the school, the advantages o f
reaching the building without exposure to the weather or expense
for porterage.

paper declaring his intention to teach in the Common Schools o f
the State, shall receive the sum o f fifty cents p er week towards
defraying the expenses o f tuition and boarding.
2. Each student over seventeen,years o f age, who 'was disabled
in the military or naval service o f the United States, or o f Penn­
sylvania, or whose fath er lost his life in said service, and who
shall sign an agreement as above,, shall receive the sum o f one
dollar per week.
3. Each student who, upon graduating, shall sign an agreement
to teach in the Common Schools o f the State two fu ll years , shall
receive the sum o f fifty dollars .
4. Any student, to secure these benefits, must attend the school

tion in the Theory o f Teaching. These benefits are to be deducted
when paid by the State.

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
breakage o f chimneys, lamps, etc. ; that being heated by steam,
there is no inconvenience in keeping fires andfgarrying 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 specially 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 fiareful consideration o f the foregoing is asked o f those who
are disposed to consider the matter o f expense.
A t meals, each table o f ten persons is in charge o f a member o f
the Faculty, thus securing Correct deportment and attention to
table etiquette, as well as 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 the public schools, the methods o f in­
struction pursued are those which are calculated to bring about
the best results, not alone to those preparing to teach, but to the
general student as well.
Students and graduates from 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 pro­
visions o f our common school laws.
We have frequent applications from School Boards for good
teachers. Teachers o f 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.

CUMBERLAND V A L L E T STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

ijllijtót cf th* portimi
Huxley says: ‘‘ The course o f study in the primary school should
embrace all the branches taught in the University.” This is the
thought o f all enlightened educators. True educational evolution
requires that the primary school should grow into the high school,
the high school into the college, and the college into the university.
The university is not a school o f a kind peculiar to itself, and in­
dependent o f all other schools; it is rather the matured, fullgrown, fully developed, elementary school. It is necessary, then,
that those who conduct these elementary schools should possess
the knowledge and the skill requisite to so shape and direct the
growth, on the part o f the individuals forming these schools, that
the mature being shall be symmetrical and complete..
It is just here that the Normal'school aims to supply a pressing
want. It does a work that never has been done and never can be
done by other institutions. It bears the same relation to the pro­
fession o f teaching, that the Law school does to the Lawyer, or
the Medical school to the Physician, or the Theological school to
the Clergyman. The Normal school is peculiar in this: that while
in the high school and the college the student studies subjects from
the standpoint o f the learner only, in the Normal school he must
study them from the standpoint o f both the learner and instructor,
and besides must test his knowledge and skill by actual practice
in the art o f instruction. '
The object o f the Normal school is the preparation o f teachers
for their profession. But this preparation demands both profes­
sional training and a knowledge o f the’branches. While the pro­
fessional part o f the work will receive its full share o f attention,
no effort will be spared to make strong, practical scholars o f its
students. The Nprmal school then offers peculiar inducements,
not only to those who are preparing to teach, but also to those
who are seeking a general education.

This institution was recognized by the State in 1813 as the
Normal School o f the Seventh District, comprising the counties o f
Adams, Bedford, Blair, Cumberland, Franklin, Fulton and Hunt­
ingdon, for the special purpose o f instructing and training teach­
ers for the Common Schools o f the State. Since thé reception o f
the first class in 1813, some twelve hundred pupils have been re­
gistered in the school and one hundred and sixty-three have
received Diplomas, upon the honorable completion o f the pre­
scribed course o f study.

We aim in the work o f this department to develop the faculties
o f the children by the natural system o f education, and give them
a foundation upon which they may build for themselves.
The course includes the branches usually taught in the common
schools, and consists o f three grades, Primary, Intermediate and
Grammar, the last being nearly equal in rank with the lowest class
in the Normal Department, and the pupils pass by easy gradations
from one to the other.
Special attention is given to Object Lessons, Drawing, Penman­

—an equivalent amount o f Latin and German.
P a rtia l C ourse — Students preparing for College or business,
besides their special studies, can take up others in the regular
course.

CONDITIONS OF ADMISSION.
Pupils can enter the regular course at any point for which they
are fitted. They may enter at any time during- the session, and
they will be charged from date o f entrance till end o f session, un­
less by special agreement.
A prompt attendance at the commencement o f the session is of
the utmost importance, both to the progress o f the pupil and pro­
per organization o f the school.
Students desiring to enter the Institution should make applica­
tion to the Principal at as early a date as possible.

MENTAL AND MORAL PHILOSOPHY AND
METHODS OF INSTRUCTION.
Special attention is given to Mental Philosophy and methods of
Instruction. Approved text books are used, but also by means of
lectures and discussions, the Philosophy of 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 o f the subject.
By daily work in the Model school for at least twenty-one
weeks, pupils are prepared for future work in the school room.
They receive thorough training in methods and practice o f teach­
ing the subjects taught in the Common schools, the work being
done under the personal supervision and direction o f the Principal
o f the school.
The methods used are those approved by the ablest and most
experienced educators. By regular, daily d rill. 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 all sides that the English language cannot be
mastered by the study o f Grammar on ly; nor by mere reading.
The theory o f language is the expression o f thought, correctly and

CUMBERLAND V A L L E T STATE NORMAL SCHOOL.

25

concisely. The study o f the English language in its widest sense
means the study o f English prose and verse, and a constant prac­
tice in composition.
The aim, therefore, in this department o f our School, is: (1)
To give the pupil a good knowledge o f his mother tongue, em­
bracing its history, structure, and philological relations ; (2) To
cultivate the power o f thought, and to aid and encourage the pupil
in the expression o f thought, in the form o f both verbal and writ­
ten composition; (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 clas­
ses, are studied critically, and with no less zeal and faithfulness
than the ancient classics are in our best colleges ; (4) So to illus­
trate the principles which should guide in selecting authors and
works to read as to give the pupil aptitude and zest for read­
ing after he has left school.

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 o f the language and the philosophical
principles underlying the syntax, keeping constantly in mind tjie
fundamental 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 o f decay and growth in
language, by means o f which the étymôlogy o f the Roman element
o f our tongue is fully exemplified, and the student is taught to
see that there is a history o f language and history in language.

MATHEMATICS.
Arithmetic, Algebra and Geometry are the three branches re­
quiring completion in the elementary course. This department
being one o f 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 o f
the transit in the field, aided by the teacher.

26

CUMBERLAND V ALLET STATE NORMAL SCHOOL.

VOCAL AND INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC.
As the world grows more enlightened the demand for mnsic
increases. In response to the demand we aré able now to furnish
such instruction as is most needed.
In the Yocal Department are given, free o f extra charge, Class
Lessons, in which pupils are taught the Rudiments o f Music and.
the Theory o f 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 o f good music. Those taking the
Professional Course receive instruction in the best methods o f
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 Y ocal and
Instrumental Music is sufficient evidence o f the unusual advan­
tages offered. Yocal 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 o f the anatomi­
cal construction o f the vocal organs, a knowledge so often
neglected and yet so necessary to the perfect understanding o f so
delicate a musical instrument as the human throat.
A thorough knowledge o f Piano Technics is taught through the
studies by Czerny, Krauss, Kohler, Heller, Chopin and others,
and style and artistic expression áre studied from the best com­
posers o f ancient and modern times."'
Those desiring instruction on the Cabinet Organ will receive
careful attention.
Extra charges will be made for instruction in music, as follows :

NATURAL SCIENCES.
For instruction in these sciences there is a large and valuable
collection o f Philosophical and Chemical aparatus, o f which fre­
quent usé is made in the regular recitations.

THE MUSEUM.
The Museum contains extensive collections o f Zoological, Bo­
tanical and Mineralogical Specimens, ample for the instructional
needs o f the student in any o f these departments; The Herbarium
contains specimens o f all the native plants as found in Gray, and
many more besides.

READING AND ELOCUTION. •
The object o f this department is' to secure a natural, easy style
o f 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 on the principles which underlie
good articulation.
v
In advanced classes special attention is given to Vocal Culture
and Methods o f Instruction.

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 lastest 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, &c., 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.

28

CUMBERLAND V A L L E T STATE NORMAL SCHOOL.

U. S. HISTORY AND CONSTITUTION.
In order to prepare onr 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 and institutions. (2) To keep in mind
the unity o f history ; (3) to trace causes to their effects, and con­
stantly to go baek o f every effect to find its cause ; (4) to show
the advantages o f our form o f government over every other form ;
(5) to impress upon the minds o f the pupils the necessity o f up­
holding our institutions and government ; (6) to broaden the
views o f the student and lead him to appreciate the great ques­
tions which from time to time our citizens are called upon to decide at the ballot-box. Text book recitations are mostly discard­
ed, and thé student’s knowledge o f the subject is called into re­
quisition.

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 knowl­
edge o f the art and science o f accounts to fit him for transacting
intelligently the business o f every-day life.
The elements o f
Contracts, the nature o f Drafts, Checks, Notes, &c., are thorough­
ly studied and supplemented by a course o f lectures on the nature
and functions o f money. Practice is given in writing the various
forms o f paper used in commercial transactions.

PHYSICAL CULTURE.
Students have need o f regular, methodical, physical exercise.
We.propose that every student, not specially excused, shall prac­
tice calisthenics or gymnastics daily, and obse.rve all known hygi­
enic laws in dietj dress, exercisé, ventilation o f rooms, etc. In­
struction, personal advice and careful superintendence will be
given, in the belief that good health is a prime requisite to mental
and moral education.

CUMBERLAND V A L L E T STATE NORMAL SCHOOL.

29

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.

MORAL AND RELIGIOUS CULTURE.
While in no sense or degree sectarian, a State Normal School in
and for a Christian State and a Christian people should be Chris­
tian in the broadest and best sense o f the term. W e believe that
the Bible is the best text-book o f morals. It will, therefore, be
read daily in the opening exercises o f the schools, with prayer and
sacred songs.
.
Bible classes are held on Sabbath evening, which all the board­
ing students are required to attend. There is, also, a prayer
meeting on Wednesday evening, which is attended by both pro­
fessors and students. The students are required to attend some
one o f the churches o f the borough every Sabbath morning.
#

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 those in common use in the schools o f this State, but for the
sake o f uniformity, a few books will ordinarily have to be purchased.

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 exer­
cises by the students, and the experience thus gained in public
speaking is very valuable to the pupils. The Libraries o f these
Societies form a valuable addition to that o f the Normal, and in­
clude many works o f the best English and American literature, as
well as books o f reference in the various departments o f study.

30

CUMBERLAND V A L L E Y STATE NORMAL SCHOOL.

OUTFIT REQUIREMENTS.
All the boarding students should provide themselves with tow­
els, napkins and rings, slippers, overshoes, umbrellas, etc., and to
have their wearing apparel and other articles plainly marked with
the owner’s name. Students should, also, bring a Bible, Bible
Dictionary and other books o f reference as far as convenient.

GRADUATION.
Candidates for graduation who receive the joint approval o f the
Faculty o f the Normal School and Board o f Examiners appointed
by State authority, will receive Diplomas conferring the degree o f
Bachelor o f the Elements, or Bachelor o f the Sciences, on com­
pleting the prescribed course.
Successful teachers o f three years experience, and twenty-one
years o f age, will also receive Degrees on complying with the above
conditions o f examination.
The Degree o f Master in each course will be conferred on the
graduates after two years o f successful experience in teaching im­
mediately succeeding graduation, when the fact, together with the
possession o f 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
continuously, provided they take the required standing at exami­
nation, have taught twenty-one weeks in the Model School, and
satisfy the Faculty and Board o f Examiners that their skill and
success in teaching and moral character warrant it.

REGULATIONS.
All bills payable one-half in advance, and the balance payable
at the middle o f the term.
Students absent two consecutive weeks or longer, on account o f
personal sickness, are entitled to a deduction o f one-half the usual
rates.
‘‘ No student will be allowed to board outside the school build­
ing, unless with parents or near relatives, except by special per­
mission o f the Board o f Trustees.”

Printed cards containing special regulations in regard to the
time for meals, recitation, study hours, etc., etc., will be furnished
to each student upon entering the school.
