History of Buildings and Grounds.
This School is located at Shippenshurg, Cumberland County, Pa.,
in one of the most beautiful and fertile valleys of the State, justly
celebrated for its healthy, invigorating atmosphere, and freedom
from malaria.
The surroundings are highly favorable for the advancement of
education. The moral and religious sentiment of the community
is well calculated to throw around the' student the most favorable
influences. The town, with a population of about 2,500, has
seven evangelical churches of different denbminations, to all of
which the students have free access upon the; Sabbath, and are1
heartily welcomed. The temptations to evil are few, and the
moral atmosphere is such as to restrain the thoughtless and way­
ward. !
The-buildings are situated on an elevated plateau north o f the'
town, commanding an extended view o f the valley and the sur­
rounding mountains in every direction.;. They were erected in
1871 and 1872, at a cost of over $125,000.
The interior arrangements of the buildings have been planned,
with special reference to the wants of a Normal School. The
Chapel, one .of the finest halls in the State, will seat comfortably
one thousand persons. The dormitories and recitation-rooms have
been arranged and furnished with special reference to the comfort
and convenience of the students. The building is heated through­
out by steam, and lighted by gas. A copious supply of 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 of students for purposes' of recreation.
The Cumberland Valley Railroad skirts the southern boundary
of the school grounds, and a station in front of the school-building
affords students and others visiting the. school the advantage of
reaching it readily and without expense; for porterage.
Two new roads, the Baltimore and Cumberland. Valley and the
Harrisburg and Potomac, furnish additional facilities for reaching
the school.

I

State A id ; .

The State, in the general appropriation act of 1866, and in the
subsequent appropriation acts, makes provision for granting State
aid to students, and graduates as follows : ■
1. Each student over seventeen years o f age, who shalfsign a
paper, declaring intention to teach in the Common Schools o f the
State, and who shall attend the school at least twelve consecutive
weeks during one term, and receive instruction in the Theory o f
Teaching, shall receive the sum o f F ifty Cents p er week toward
defraying the expenses o f tuition and boarding.
2. Each student over seventeen fea rs o f age, who was disabled
in the military or naval service o f the United States, or o f Penn­
sylvania, or whose father lost his life in said service, and who shall
sign an agreement as above, shall receive the sum o f One D ollar
per week.
3. E a ch student who, upon graduating, sh a ll sign an-agreement
to teach in the Common Schools o f the State two f u lly ears, shall
receive the sum o f F ifty D ollars.
4. Term bills to be settled in full. Students will be paid appro­
priations from the State as soon as paid to the school.
5. In the Summer Session, there is sometimes a slight deficiency
in the State appropriation to undergraduates. When this occurs,
each student will receive his proportionate share of the appropria­
tion, instead of the full amount.

I mportant to Students and P atrons .

Attention is directedito the fact that the building being lighted
by gas there is no expenseto the student attendant upon the break­
age of chimneys, lamps, e tc .; that being heated by steam, there
is no inconvenience in keeping fires and carrying cbal 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 wellcared for as in any well-regulated ladies’ boarding school.
A carefuljfconsideration 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 ancbpupilsl
While the special'work of the Normal Sehool 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 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
teachers. Teachers of 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.

The object of the Normal School is to labor faithfully and zeal­
ously ito prepare those under Tts. 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 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 recita■ We Claim that each recitation-room, in itself, should; b y the
character of its work, be a Normal School— each teaching, by its
daily drill, the best methods o f presenting the various subjects.
The summation of all our work is to teach how to teach. • ■■
We send our graduates,forth, not to teach dissatisfaction with
the positions occupied by the parents of the pupils oLthe present
generation, but to more thoroughly qualify them, by their superior
advantages’ ’to fulfill the demands of the age in. accordance with
the spirit of the ¡times.
We do not advance the idea that schools of a different character
have not furnished, and do not continue to furnish, many excellent
teachers; but we claim that school's organized for any special work
accomplish more than those engaged in general educational work
The success o f a large proportion of the graduates of Normal
Schools, in the several States in which they have been established,
fully corroborates the assertion.

M O D E L S C H O O L .,
By a plan proposed by the present principal, we have a 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 of 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 of educat­
ing those placed under their charge.
In addition to the requirements of the law, our Seniors spend
one period 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.

P a rtia l Course__Students preparing for College or business, be­
sides ibeir 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
arejfitted. They may e n t e n . a n y time.:during the session, and
after the first two weeks they will be ¡charged from date of entrance
till end of session, unless by special'agreement.
A prompt attendance at the commencement of the session is of
thg utmost importance,, both to the progress.of the pupil and the
proper organization of 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 givep. to Mental Philosophy and Methods of
Instruction. Approved te^t-books are used, but also by means of
lectures and discussions,. the Philosophy of mint}, under the form
of the Intellect, the Sensibilities, and, the Will, is extended to in­
clude the doctrine of Moral Obligation, thus giving the student a
clear and comprehensive knowledge o f the subject.
By daily work infflie Model School for at least twenty-one weeks,
pupils are prepared for future work in the school-room. They re­
ceive thorough training in methods and practice of teaching the
subjects taught in the CommojTStSfidols, the work being done under
the personal supervision and direction of the Principal of the
school.
The methods used are those approved by the ablest and most ex­
perienced educators. : By regular,'daily drill the teacher has con­
stant 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 a|| sides that the English language cannot be
mastered by the study of Grammar only; nor.by mere reading.
The theory of language is the expression o f thought, correctly and
concisely. The study of th^e English language in its widest sense
means the study of English prose and verse, and a, constant prac­
tice in Composition.

C umberland V alley St a t e -Normal S chool.

25

The aim, thèreforë:, in this department of our Sfchool, is : ( i)'T d
give the pupil a good knowledge of his mother tongue, embracing
its history, structure, and philological1relations : (2) To cultivate
the power of thought,' and to aid and encourage thé pupil ib' thbexpression of thought, in 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 succéssive steps up to the appréciation of the
English classics, which, in the advanced classes, are studied criti­
cally, and with no less zeal and faithfulness than the (ancient classics1
are in our best; colleges ; (4) So to illustrate» the principles which
should guide in selecting authors and works to read as to give the
pupil aptitude and izëst for reading after he has left school.
The S enior C oursé M nEnglish Literature will include* the fol­
lowing :
I. The history of the English language.
II. A général'outline'of thé History and-dfevelopment o f1Eng­
lish literature from Chaucer to thé Nineteenth Century;
III. A full discussion of thé life' and writings of Irving, Cooper,
Bryant, Hawthorne, Longfellow, Whittier, and Holmes.
IV. The critical study of the selections in Swinton’s Seven
American Classics.” '
.

LATIN LANGUAGE.
One year’s stùdy of Latin is required for graduation. Thé aim
in our instruction is to make the pupil thoroughly acquainted with
the grammatical forms of the language and the philosophical prin­
cipals underlying the syntax, këëping constantly in mind the funda­
mental distinctions between the Latin and our'own, dwelling par­
ticularly on those points in the former which serve to illustrate and
explain the latter. Particular attention is therefore paid to Etyr
mology, Morphology, and the laws of decay and1growth in lan­
guage, by means of 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 histbry of language and history in language.

MATHEMATICS.
Arithemetie, 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

26

C umberland V alley S tate iN ormal S chool.

be given with care and ¡thoroughness,, so that the diligent student
will be fully up to ¡the standard at the time of graduation.
•Surveying we make practical by allowing the student the use of
the transit in the fieldl, aided by the teacher.

VOCAlT AND INSTRU M ENTAL MUSIC.
Asi-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 o f extra charge, Class
Lessons, in which pupils are taught the Rudiments o f 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 o f the times', that of teachers of music in public schools.
The-increasing popularity of the Department of Vocal aud In­
strumental Music is sufficient evidence of the unusual advantages
offered. Vocal ¡culture is taught in accordance with the Italian
Method" as interpreted by the best teachers of that schoolM The
method is based -upon a thorough knowledge of the anatomical
construction of the vocal- organs; a knowledge so often neglected
and yetvso necessary to the perfect understanding of so delicate a
musical instrument as the human throat.
A thorough knowledge of Piano Technics is taught through the ,
studies, by 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.
Extra charges will-be made for instruction in music, as follows:

NATURAL SCIENCES.
For instruction in these branches there is a large' and valuable
collection of Philosophical’and Chpmical apparatus, of which fre­
quent use is m adejn the regular recitations.

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

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
and Methods of Instruction.

INDUSTRIAL DRAWING.
The wide-spread introduction of Drawing in our schools renders
it necessary that teaelidrs:b e 1prepared to givë instruction in this
important and now all practical branch of education.
The latest and most approved methods have1been 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., enter largely into class
exercises.
Those who wish can take a speciakëourse in drawing, which will
fit them for positions as teachers, or to enter the office'of a draughts­
man or designer.

UNITED STATES HISTORY AND CONSTITUTION.
In order to prepare our’ Students for ‘their dutieSuâs' ëitizensj'a
thorough study is made of the history and Constitution of our
Government. Our aim is: 1. 'To trace the origin; development,
and growth of our Country and institutions. 2. To keep in mind
the unity of history. 3. To trace causes to their effects, and con-

28

C umberland V alley . St a t e - N ormal School:

stantly to go back of every effect to find its .cause. 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 Govérnment. 6. To broaden the
views of the student arid lead him to appreciate the great questions
which, from time to time/ ourLcitizens are called upon to decide
at the ballot-box. Text-book recitations are mostly ^discarded,
and 'the student’s knowledge of the subject isigalled into requisition.

BOOK-KEEPING.
Book-keepirig by single entry is required in'order to 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, o f every-day life. The elements of Contracts,
the ,nature of Drafts,; .Checks, Notes, &c., are. thoroughly studied
and supplemented by a course o f lectures on the nature, and func­
tions of money. Practice is given in writing the various forms of
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 of Plants.
The, Names and Economic Value of Trees.
3. Testing Seeds as to Vitality and. Purity.
4. Cross-Fertilization and .Production of New Varieties.
5. Grafting and Budding— various Ways.
6. Pruning for Fruit or for Wood.
. ;7.. Propagating by Layers and Cuttings.: ,
8. Care of Small Fruits.
9. Knowledge of Noxious Insects and Plants.
10. General Care of Trees and Plants, &x., &c.
Having,recently planted an, orchard of one hundred apple, peach,
and pear trees .upon the Normal grounds, ample opportunity is
furnished 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 of the school is the perfect family, where
youth of both sexes, under: the restraints of 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 of instructors,1 ladies and gentlemen
will meet and find opportunities for social culture. Social singing
of one hour each Sabbath is held in the parlors.

MORAL AND RELIGIOUS CULTURE.
While in no sensé or degree sectarian, a State Normal School in
and for a Christian State and a Christian people should be Christian
in the broadest and bëst sense of the' term. We believé 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. The students
are required to attend some one of the churches of the borough
every Sabbath morning.

HOME COMFORTS.
It is â 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 flesh|$?§
In order that students may reach the highest degree of intellectual
growth, we hold that they should have food, abundant in quantity
and1excellent in quality. !
The Principal;-therefore, pays spècial attention to the table,
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 of the building. So far as we can, we use the
text-books in common use in thé schools'of 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 of 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 of these Societies
form a valuable addition to that of the Normal,' and include many

works of the best English and American literature, as well as books
o f reference, in the various departments of study.

COURSE OF LECTURES.

napkins, and rings, slippers, overshoes, umbrellas, etc.*,: and have
their wearing apparel and other articles plainly marked with the

tionary, and other books pf reference:ag ¡far as; convenient.

DEPORTMENT.
The object of 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-improvement. Stud^rts
must not expect certificates and diplomas based;, on Scholarship
alon.e ; they are liable to rejection on the score of character.
Students are put on their honor to obey the regulations, pf this
/School; ,,,
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 o f refined society, they
are liable to dismissal. Private walks and talks at any time are
forbidden.

Faculty of the Normal School and Board of Examiners appointed
by State authority, will receive Diplomas conferring the degree of
Bachelor o f the Elem ents, or Bachelor o f the Sciences, on com­
pleting the prescribed course.
