M O D E L SCH OOL.

The School is twofold,: comprising the Normal School
proper and the Model School, both thoroughly graded, and
together complementary to each other, and complete as a
whole— furnishing an extensive course, and every advantage
for instruction found in first-class schools o f corresponding
grades.
The Principal has the general superintendence o f each depart­
ment o f both Schools, and each Instructor a special supervision
o f his own department.

DEPARTMENTS AND CLASSES.
This School comprises Primary, Grammar and High School
Departments, each department having four classes, or grades,
known respectively as the A , B, 0 and D classes : the A class
being the highest and the D class the lowèst in each depart­
ment.
The High School Course will correspond with the Elementary
and Scientific or Classical Courses in the Normal School.
High School students will substitute other branches for the
Professional Course.
In the P rimary D epartment we shall require first-class work
o f instructors, in the belief that “ well begun is half done,”
and further, that the imperative demand o f the times is Reform,

in Primary Instruction.
W e shall endeavor to “ follow the indications o f nature,” to
utilize the instincts and impulses o f the child nature, regard
the characteristic mental activities o f the child in the use o f
agencies and methods, surround the children with all health­
ful and quickening influences, and make study and all school
work pleasant and profitable. The school room should first

N O R M A L SCH OOL.

be an attractive home to the child, next a place o f natural,
symmetrical growth and a school o f practice, to the end that
right habits of thought and expression shall be early formed.
Lessons in Moral's, Manners, Language, Numbers, and a
systematic training o f the perceptive faculties in a broad and
wisely adapted séries o f object and oral lessons, will each
and all receive attention.
Music, Drawing, Calisthenics, and other features o f right
Primary Instruction, will be in daily use, under the control o f
accomplished instructors.
We intend to fit young ladies and gentlemen who graduate
in our Grammar Course for the business o f common life,
, Day and boarding students, male and female, will be
admitted any day, but should enter at the beginning o f a
term.

The Normal SchooMcomprises the Elementary, Scientific
and Classical Courses, each department having the A , B, C,
D, E and E classes, the A the highest, and the E the lowest
in each department respectively.
The following synopsis exhibits the branches, and their
order*in the Normal School Course.

The Science and Art o f Teaching will be treated in daily
exercises in the higher courses, and graduates fitted to instruct
in all higher Institutions.

ANALYSIS OF INSTRUCTION IN THE ELEMENTARY COURSE.
O rthography.— Under this head we prosecute an extensive
and critical study of words: written words, oral analysis by
naming letters, syllabication, pronunciation, accent, derivation,
and every variety o f classification o f words, with signification,
and uses o f words, in impromptu sentence writing. The fol­
lowing topics receive critical attention: Equivocal words,
synonyms, Latin, English words, provincialisms, idioms, pre­
vailing errors in pronunciation and use o f words; Difficult
Orthography o f common words mastered by a great variety
o f methods of spelling.
R eading .— Oral Reading has to do with the spoken word.
It is the business o f the teacher to master the vocal elements
o f words.
W e aim to secure to each student a clear, concise concep­
tion o f each and all the vocal elements; shall practice continu­
ally in vocal gymnastics and vocal analysis o f words, aiming
at a clear and correct articulation, right pronunciation, the
highest culture o f voice through every variety o f expression.

22

N O R M A L SC H O O L .

Special care will be given to the formation o f appreciative
habits o f study o f sentiment, believing that sentiment is the
key to expression.
Composition is classified in reference to the style o f thought,
and the principles that govern expression are illustrated and
enforced, and dwelt upon until mastered individually in the
class.
Rules are based on the reason o f things. Few, if any, set
rules are followed except the broad test rule o f reason— what
is the right interpretation and rendering o f the given senti­
ment ? The different qualities and modification o f voice are
taken up in logical order, made specialties till mastered, and
the knowledge and skill so secured made the basis o f criticism
ever after in every exercise. How to read and how to teach
reading is the question.
P enmanship.— In this we shall aim to master the principles,
position, movements, methods o f conducting classes, analysis,
and practice o f every form and letter in reference to Elemen­
tary forms.* Theory and practice are continually combined.
Blackboard exercises, concert writing, and various methods of
teaching tested.
G r a m m a r .— Etymology reviewed; Syntax and Analysis
combined with Etym ology; classification of words and proper4
ties, according to different authors, examined and criticised;
the most approved and concise definitions, rules, synopses and
analyses sought.

Daily practice in sentence writing, correcting false syntax,
analyzing and parsing.
English Classics are studied critically, and with no less zeal
and faithfulness than the ancient classics are in our colleges
generally.
G eography.— Astronomical and Mathematical.— T he E arth

— Form : proofs. Size : actual and comparative, circumference,
diameter, area. Motions: dail'y<— direction,, time, proofs, and
effects o f; annual— directions, time, proofs with use o f globe.

N O R M A L SC H O OL. .

The Eavtli as a whole.— Surface ; natural divisions. Climate,
and causes and conditions of. Productions, with laws o f dis­
tribution. Inhabitants, races and their characteristics and in­
dustries.
Location and general description o f natural divisions, with
outline map o f the "World. A morSfminpte description o f
North America. Outline map o f the United State's— each
State taken up separately, map drawn, and description upon
the following topics, viz: I. Position.
II. Area. III.
Boundaries. IV . Surface. V . Rivers. "VI. Lakes. Y II.
Soil. V III. Climate.. IX . Productions. X - Inhabitants,
X I. Cities, X II. History.
Geography and map o f Pennsylvania made a specialty.
Each pupil must be able to draw an elegant map and give a
minute topical description o f the State.

Physical Geography— including Botany, Zoology, and kin­
dred subjects^—will receive special attention.
U nited S tates H istory , embracing the periods o f dis­
coveries, settlements, colonial wars, and the revolution, is
treated with topical synopses, analyses, and constant reviews,
and large use o f collateral history, remarkable incidents, and
biographies o f noted individuals, with written extracts.
So much o f antecedent history as is necessary to trace the
causes and influences that wrought out the Constitution, is
taken up, and special attention given to the A nalysis oe the
C onstitution o f the United States— immediately following
History to the above named point. This subject is followed
by a critical analysis o f the P ennsylvania S chool L aw , on
the same plan, with blackboard synopses and general dis­
cussion, with special attention to duties of teachers under the

Arithmetic as a science is one, as an art two-fold— written
and oral, and should be taught accordingly as a unit with two
modes o f application. It is reviewed in the first year o f the
Normal Course, for the purpose o f mastering its principles in
their logical order and relations, and acquiring great practical
skill in their application and illustration.

24

N O R M A L S C H O OL.

"We believe that the essential central principles o f arithme­
tic are few and simple, that teachers should find these, and be
able clearly to state, aptly and readily to illustrate, and rightly
to apply them to all possible cases.
W e believe, also, that manifold better results should be
realized in most o f our schools from right methods o f teaching
arithmetic, and in much less time than is now given to this
branch.

Fine Arts.— .¿Esthetic culture will be an object o f special
attention in this school, in the faith that an appreciative sense
o f the beautiful is both an essential and most, desirable accom­
plishment.
The Philosophy and History of Art, the Use and Criticism
o f Specimens o f Art, Instruction in Vocal and Instrumental
Music, Painting and Kindred Arts, will constitute some o f the
most valuable advantages o f this Institution. Individual and
Class Instruction daily, by accomplished Instructors, will be
available to-all in every desirable art usually taught in higher
institutions o f learning.

Professional Instruction is the crowning work o f the Normal
School. A ll other culture to the candidate for the sacred ofiice
o f teacher must, in our ideal, minister to the royal graces and
gifts that are peculiar tb the true teacher. Natural aptness to
teach, scholarship in its best and broadest sense, aesthetic and
social culture, a virtuous— a Christian— character, all enter into
and are essential to the model teacher, and yet power to use
these gifts and attainments skilfully and successfully, as a true
teacher, is a separate and higher attainment. “ To teach is the
noblest function on earth,” and to teach aright embraces and
requires the mastery o f one o f the profoundest and sublimest
o f sciences, and one o f the most elevated and refined o f arts.
A s to give is nobler than to get, so is teaching higher than
acquiring knowledge. Not every one that can acquire success­
fully can impart knowledge with like success. No professional
instruction and training can make equally good teachers o f
equal scholars. The true teacher is “ born,” and so called o f
God to teach, and yet he. must be “ made ” intelligent in the

N O R M A L SCH O O L.

25

science and skilful in the art, in order to utilize his gifts and
wisely use his powers.
W e believe it to be the peculiar work o f the Normal School,
after it has done what other first-class schools do for general
education, to inspire its students with professional enthusiasm,
and instruct and train them in the science and art o f teaching.
Thus, in accomplishing its own specific object, the Normal
School must necessarily compass all the ends o f other schools as
subordinate ends to it.
Educational reform will come only through reformed teach­
ing and teachers. The teacher is the central agent o f all
education ; a new and nobler order o f teachers alone can give
better schools. So in this faith we aim more specifically to
inspire every candidate for teaching that enters this Institu­
tion with a love o f and consecration to teaching. We intend
that the one grand, all-comprehending, and unifying idea, how
best to teach, shall he paramount in all study, recitation, and
criticism, and in every branch o f study; that every normal
student shall have daily professional instruction from the first
o f his course, large facilities for observation and practice in
testing theory and acquiring skill, and great freedom o f indi­
vidual opinion and action. W e do not expect nor desire to
graduate a stereotype uniformity o f teachers, hut to make, or
help to make, the most and best o f each individual candidate.
Under the general subject o f School Economy we shall con­
sider the organization and general management o f schools,
the most approved methods, o f recitation, how to secure right
habits o f study, the right forms o f questions, etc.
In the field o f Mental Science and Methods o f Culture we
shall name, define, seek the phenoména, order o f development,
and means and methods o f training the various faculties o f
mind and departments o f our human nature.
Methods o f instruction will embrace the discussion o f the
adaptation o f the sciences to the mind at every stage o f
development, and the most approved methods o f teaching in
each branch taught in our schools.

Lectures on the History and Philosophy o f Education and
kindred subjects. Practice teaching in the Model School, and

26

'

N O R M A L SCH OOL.

discussion and criticism at every step, will be among the valu­
able features in the Professional Course.

GENERAL MANAGEMENT.
Sight conduct will be insisted on and enforced by precept
and example, and penalty, if necessary to good order. The
rules o f the School will be few and simple. Self-government
is the ideal government. W e shall endeavor so to impress
this truth, and so rouse and direct the reason and conscience,
that what is right and true and fit shall be recognized and
obeyed voluntarily. The true basis o f rightful authority is an
enlightened sense o f duty and right, and that school or state
is governed best that seems to.govern least. Self-control and
self-help in every variety o f school work shall be a governing
ideal with instructors in the general management o f students.

PHYSICAL CULTURE.
Students have special need o f regular, methodical, physical
exercise. The precept. “ a sound mind in a sound body,” has
been too generally ignored. W e propose that every student
not specially excused will practice calisthenics or gymnastics
daily, will use the bath regularly and faithfully, and observe
all known hygienic laws in diet, dress, exercise, ventilation of
rooms, etc. Instruction, personal advice and careful superin­
tendence will be given, in the belief that good health is a prime
requisite to mental and moral education.

SOCIAL CULTURE.
W e believe in the co-education o f the sexes. To educate
for, we must educate in and by, society. 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 recita­
tions, general exercises in chapel, and frequent gatherings in
parlors, in presence o f instructors, ladies and gentlemen will
meet and find opportunities for social culture.

N O R M A L SCH O O L.

27

MORAL AND RELIGIOUS CULTURE.
That education is faulty and imperfect that neglects the
moral and religious natures. Whilst in no sense or degree
sectarian, a State Formal School in and for a Christian state
and a Christian people should be Christian in the broadest
and best sense o f that term. Whilst we shall hold sacred the
individual opinions o f students and encourage all to attend
the church o f their preference, and require each to attend some
church, we shall endeavor to instruct all students in the great
fundamental and practical’ truths o f the Bible.
W e believe that the Bible is the best text-book o f morals.
It will, therefore, be read daily in opening exercises o f schools,
with prayer and sacred songs. There will also he a SabbathSchool in the Chapel on every Sunday morning at 9 o’ clock,
and prayer meetings on every Sunday and Wednesday evening.
Separate prayer meetings for the sexes on Wednesday
evening. The influences and restraints o f a Christian home
will he secured to all students. Formal methods o f Sabbath
School instruction will be sought out.

TEXT BOOKS.
Good hooks are always useful for reference, and many that
may be considered old are invaluable aids in the preparation
o f lessons. Teachers should be the slaves o f no author or book,
but seek and learn the right use o f the best books, and
master the subject matter by them, and teach without them.
Bach student should expect to purchase a few new books, for
the sake o f uniformity in classes. Other things equal, we
shall use the books in common use in the schools o f this State.

WICKERSHAM LITERARY SOCIETY.
The students and Faculty meet on Friday evening o f each
week for literary exercises. Great interest is manifested by
citizens and students in the exercises o f this Society.

LIBRARY AND READING ROOM.
An elegant and commodious room, opening out o f the
Chapel, is fitted up for a library and reading-room. Reference

28

N O R M A L SCH O OL.

books and general literature are accessible to all students, free
o f expense, and the choicest periodicals are found on the
table.

CABINET AND APPARATUS ROOM,
On the opposite side o f the Chapel, and precisely like the
Library, is the Cabinet and Apparatus room, where specimens
illustrating the natural sciences are collected and classified,
and chemical and philosophical apparatus is found.

FREE-HAND DRAWING.
The recent and wide spread introduction o f drawing into
our schools, renders it necessary that teachers prepare to teach
this important and much neglected branch o f education.
Its value as a means o f imparting instruction in various
branches o f education, is now recognized by our most
prominent educators.
The training o f the hand and o f the eye, which is given hy
drawing, is found to be o f the greatest advantage ,to the
worker in nearly every branch o f industry. The element o f
beauty has a pecuniary as well as an aesthetic value.
Believing, therefore, that drawing and design, as applied to
teaching and the industrial arts, are important branches o f edu­
cation, we give them special attention.
Commencing with copying— as a means o f becoming
acquainted with the beautiful— the pupil advances rapidly from
simple to the most difficult exercises.
The mediums used are : pencil, crayon, charcoal, color, etc.
The elements o f perspective, supplemented by drawing from
objects, enable the pupil to delineate anything he desires.
Exercises in designing for special purposes, such as wall­
papers, tiles, plates, carved work, etc., enter largely into the
practice o f the advanced classes.
Those who take the entire course in drawing and design,
will become well fitted to assume positions as special teachers,
or enter the office o f a draughtsman or designer.
Mère skilfulness in handling the pencil or crayon can be
obtained whether the pupil possesses special talent or not.

N O R M A L SCH O O L.

,

29

The “ class room ” is provided with new tables especially
designed for the purpose for which they are used.
A n extensive list o f costly lithographs and models enable
the pupil to pursue his studies to the-greatest advantage.
Every class in the Normal School and the Grammar Depart­
ment o f the Model School receives instruction and training
one regular period o f forty-five minutes each daily.
Great interest on the part o f pupils and patrons, and gratify­
ing results generally have already been realized.
Our first Graduating Classes will go out well skilled in this
most desirable art.

BUSINESS COURSE.
Business Arithmetic, Book-keeping, Penmanship, and every
advantage o f first-class Business .Colleges is secured to those
who desire' such a course. • W e have a large class in this
course.
The necessary course in Book-keeping comprises a know­
ledge o f the principles o f Single Entry, and o f the forms and
uses o f notes, checks, drafts and other commercial paper.
This will be taught by a series o f practical illustrations and
exercises. Students wishing to do so can take an extended
course in Double Entry. In this course we aim to offer the
Commercial Student the best business training and education
that the school-room affords,

INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC.

V-

This department is under the charge o f an accomplished
and experienced instructor, and is every way in the most
flourishing condition.
Special interest is manifested in Organ and Piano Music.

SPECIAL ATTENTION.
Is solicited to the importance o f each student’ s entering at the
opening and remaining until the close o f each term.
No student will be excused from weekly written reviews
and final examinations, except for providential reasons. A
good standing, based on the results o f this work, will be con­
ditional o f promotion and graduation.

OUTFIT REQUIREMENTS.
A ll students boarding in the school-room will, before enter­
ing, provide themselves with towels, napkins am} ring, and all
necessary wearing apparel, plainly marked with, owner’ s name.
Each pupil will also bring a Bible; and Bible Dictionary, and
should have Scripture Commentaries, books o f reference, a
toilet set, slippers, overshoes .and umbrella.
A few articles o f plainjf‘serviceable clothing is the only
advisable wardrobe outfit o f the student, whether lady or
gentleman.

GRADUATION.
Candidates for graduation in course, 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 B achelor of the E lements, B achelor
of the S ciences, or .B achelor of the Classics, respectively,

LOCATION AND BUILDING.
The Borough o f Shippensburg is one, o f the oldest inland
towns in the State, is situated in the heart o f the beautiful

SU M M A R Y.

33

Cumberland valley, and is famous for its bealthy and invigo­
rating atmosphere. The community is highly moral and
affords little temptation to those disposed to indulge in impro­
prieties, the moral sense o f the people being a safeguard to the
pupils sojourning in their midst.

THE BUILDING
Is an elegant brick edifice, four stories high (including Man­
sard roof story), and has two hundred and thirteen rooms, with
boarding and lodging capacity for three 'hundred, and school
room for eight hundred students. It is located on a high and
beautiful site near town, is heated by steam, lighted by gas,
and furnished throughout with improved furniture.
Being
situated near the .line o f the Cumberland Valley Railroad, (the
road forming the southern boundary o f the grounds), through
thelfjcpurtesy o f the efficient Superintendent o f the road,
General J. F. Boyd, all passenger trains (for one week at the
opening and one at the close o f each term) stop at the Normal
Station, thus avoiding any expense for porterage o f baggage,
or exposure o f person should the weather be inclement.
N. B.— The Board o f Trustees are making such improve­
ments in the heating arrangements as will ensure the entire
comfort o f students in future. I

W e aim to make the following special points in this .school,
v iz ,: a harmonious adjustment of a graded school and elective
course o f study; great prominence to right primary instruction
in both theory and practice; special care for health and
physical training o f pupils; vocal culture in daily drill in
Elocution and Singing for all pupils; skill in expression and
execution in every variety o f subject and w ork; large oppor­
tunities under proper restraints for social culture; special

prominence to regular and- suitable Religious Exercises; a
just, thorough and universal test and standard o f Scholarship,
estimated on written weekly reviews, and final examinations;
large opportunities for securing general information by the
best library and reading-room accommodations; self-control
by granting the largest personal liberty to the student, and
imposing a corresponding responsibility for right deportment.
