The Schpfl is twofGl;d||omprising-the Normal School proper, and the Model
School, both thoroughly graded, and together fedmplementary to each other,
and complete as a whole— furnishing anextensive' course, and every advantage
for instruction f und in first-class schools of corresponding grades,
T he Principal' h | | the getleral superintendence of each department oTtioth
Schools, and each Instructor a Sppcial strpervisiOn.of his:p.wn department.

Departments and Classes
This School comprises Primary, Grammar, and H igh School Departments,
each department having four classes, or grades, known respectively as the A
B, C, and D classes: the A class being the highest and the D class the lowest
in each department.
;'
The H igh S ch o o l course w ill correspond with the Elementary and Scientific,
or Classical Courses in the Normal School. H igh School students w ill substi­
tute other branches for the professional couise.
In the P r im a r y D epartm ent we shallifequire first-class work of instructors,

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 of
our schools from right methods of teaching arithmetic, and in much less time
than is now given to this branch.
F in e A r t.— Esthetic Culture w ill be an object of special attention in this
school, in the faith that an appreciative sense of the beautiful is both an essen­
tial and most desirable accomplishment.
T he Philosophy and History of Art, the Use and Criticism of Specimens; o f •
Art, Instruction in V ocal and Instrumental Music, Painting, and kindred Arts,
w ill constitute some of the most valuable advantages of this Institution. Indi­
vidual and Class Instruction daily, by accomplished instructors, w ill be available
to all in every dëçirâble art usually taught in higher institutions of learning.
Professional Instruction is the crowning work of the Normal School. A ll
other culture to the candidate for the sacred office of teacher must, in our ideal,
minister to the royal graces and gifts, that are peculiar to the true ^teacher.
Natural aptness to teach* scholarship in its best and broadest sense, esthetic 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 skillfully
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 of one of the profoundest and sublimes! of sciences,, and one of the
most elevated and refinéd of arts. A s to give is nobler than to get, so is teach­
ing higher than acquiring knowledge. Not every one that can acquire success­
fully can impart knowlege with like success. No professional instruction.and
training can make equally good teachers of equal scholars. The true teacher is
“ born,” and so called of God to teach, and yet he must be “ made” intelligent
in the science and skillful in the art, in order to utilize his gifts and wisely use («H
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 of other schools as subordinate
ends to it.
Educational reform w ill come only through reformed teaching and teacher.
T hé teacher is the central agent of all education ; a new and nobler order of
teachers alone can give better schools. So in this faith we aim more specifically
to inspire every candidate for teaching that enters this institution with a love of
and consecration to teaching. W e intend that the one grand, all-comprehend­
ing, and unifying idea, how best to teach., shall be paramount in all study, recita­
tion, and criticism, and in every branch of study ; that every normal student
shall have daily professional instruction from the first o f his course, large facili­
ties for observation and practice in testing theory and acquiring skill, and great

27
freedom of individual opinion and action. W e do not expect or desire to
. graduate a stereotype uniformity of teSchjiS, but to make, or. Help to make, the
most and best o f each individual candidate.
Under the general subject of School Economy, we shall -consider the organi­
sation and general management of schools, th e most approved methods of reci­
tation, how to secure right habits of study,, the rightiforms of questions, &e.
In the field of Mental Science and Methods of Culture, we . shall name,
. define, seek the phenomena; order of, development, and ■ means and methods of
training the various faculties of mind and departments of our human nature.
Methods of instruction w ill embrace the discussion; of the adaption ofth e
science! to the mind at every stage of development, and the most approved
methods of teaching in each branch taught in our.schooJsSii?
Lectures on the History and Philosophy-of Education, and kindred subjects,
Practice T eaching in the Model School, and discussion« and criticism at every
step, w ill be among the valuable features; in the professional, course.

General Managements
Right conduct w ill be insisted on and’ enforced by. precept and example, and:
penalty, if necessary to good order« T he rules o f . the School w ill "be' few and
simple. Self-government is the ideal government.. W e M ill»'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 of rightful authority is an enlightened sense of duty and, right, and that
school or State is governed best that.-seems., to govern least. Self-control and
Self-help in every variety of school work shall be a governing ideal with in­
structors in the general management of 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 w ill practice, calisthenics, or
gymnastics, daily, w ill use the bath regularly and faithfully, and observe all
known hygienic laws in diet, dress, exercise, ventilation of rooms, &c. .Instruc­
tion, personal advice, and . careful superintendance w ill be given, in the belief
that good health is a prime requisite to mental and moral education. Students
Should provide^themselves w'ith gymnastic costume before entering school.

Social Culture.
W e believe in the co-educatiori||f the Sexes. T o educate for we must educate-,
in and by society. The divine model o f the school is the perfect family, where
youth of both sexes, under the «restraints of parents,, strengthen and refine each

58
other mutually by their complimentary qualities. In recitations, general exor*
cises in chapel, and frequent gatherings in parlors, in presence of instructors,
.ladies and gentlemen w ill meet and find opportunities for social culture.

Moral and Religious Culture.
That education is faulty andjim perfect that neglects the moral and religious
natures. W hilst 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 o f that term. W hilst we shall hold sacred the individual opin­
ions of students, and encourage all to attend the Church of their preference, and
require each to attend some church, we shall endeavor to instruct all students in
the great fundamental and practical truths of the Bible.
W e believe that the Bible is the best text-book of morals. It w ill, therefore,
be read daily in opening exercises of schools, with prayer and sacred songs.
There w ill also be a Sabbath School-in the Chapel on every Sunday morning,
at 9 o’ clock, and prayer meetings on every Sunday and W ednesday evenings.
Ssparate prayer meetings for the sexes on W ednesday evening. T he influ­
ences and restraints of a Christian home w ill be secured to all students. Normal
methods of Sabbath School instruction w ill be sought.

■Text Books.
Good books are always- useful for reference, and many that may be considered
old are invaluable aids in the preparation Of lessons. Teachers should be the
slaves of no author or book, but seek and learn the right use of the best books,
and master the subject matter by them, and teach without them. Each student
shpuld expect to purchase a few new books, for the sake of uniformity in classes.
Other things equal, w e shall use the books in common use in the schools of this
State.

“ The Wickersham Literary Society.”
T he students and Faculty meet on Friday evening of each week, for literary
exercises. Great interest is manifested by citizens and students in the exercises
of this Society.

Library and Reading-Room. ,
4A n elegant and commodious room, opening out of the Chapel, is fitted up for
a iibrary and reading-room. Reference books and general literature are ac^
cessible to all students, free of expense, and the .choicest periodicals are found
on the table.

29

Cabinet and' Ap-paratus^Room.
. On the opposite, side of the Chapel, and precisely lik e 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.

Special Attention
Is ¿elicited to the importance of each student’s entering at the opening and
remaining until the close, o f each term.
No student w ill be excused from w eekly written reviews and final examina­
tions, except for providential reasons. A good standing, based on the results of
this work, Will be condition of promotion and graduation.

Outfit Requirements.
A ll students boarding in the schoolroom w ill, before entering, provide them• selves with towels, napkins and ring, aiid all necessary wearing apparel, plainly
marked with owner’s name. Each pupil w ill also bring a Bible and Bible
Dictionary, and should have Scripture Commentaries, books of reference, a toilet
set, slippers, over-shoes, and umbrella.
A few' articles of plain, serviceable clothing is the only advisable wardrobe
outfit of the student, whether lady or gentleman.

Graduation!
Candidates for graduation in course, who receive the joint approval of the
Faculty of the Normal School and Board of Examiners appointed by State
authority, w ill receive Diplomas conferring the degree of B ach e lo r of th e
E lements , B achelor of th e S ciences , or B ach elor of th e C l a ssic s , re­
spectively, on completing either ¿ourse.
Successful teachers of three years’ experience, and tWenty-one years o f age,
Will also rëceive Degrees on complying with the above conditions o f exami­
nation.
I

i

T he Diploma exempts the holder from further examination for teaching by
State authorities.
•T h é Degree of Master in each course w ill be conferred on the above-named
graduates of tw'o years of successful experience succeeding first graduation, on
certificate of good moral character from .School Directors and County Superin­
tendent under whom they have taught.
Students can complete the several courses without attending consecutively,
provided they take the required ¿landing at examination, and satisfy the Faculty
and Board of Examiners that their skill and success in teaching and moral
character warrant it.

Miscellaneous Provisions.
..

i

T h e S chool .shall consist.o f f o r t y - r t w o .,- w e e k $ . , «. .iv
Pupils, to graduate in a Normal School, must, attend twenty-one weeks.
..Pupils . applying for . a 'diploma, in any, course, must be .examined in all the
studies of that course..

T h e sis .— In each course a thesis must be written upon some educational
• _ 'subject.
A t examination, a paper . stating that the. candidates have completed the
course of study for Normal Schools, have taught the required time in the Model
. School, and have been examined and approved by the faculty, shall be pre­
sented to the Board of Examiners.
Papers for second diplomas must be presented to the .Board of Examiners at
their regular session.
j

R ecommendation .— T h e students of the Normal Schools are recommended
to study the Latin, French, and English languages^ds far as practicable.
It is probable that a reasonably large class will, be able, to graduate in the
“ Elementary Course” at the end of the school year 1873-74. Those desiring
to graduate in this class should enter at the beginning of this school year.
