Other CommencementExercises.
The exercises of Commencement week
began with an entertainment by the Model
School on Thursday evening, June 22. The
principal of the Model School, Miss Mc-Closkey, had the chief share in its preparation, although much credit is also due to her
assistants, Miss Wade, Miss Reynolds and
Mrs. Curry. It was a juvenile entertainment but was nevertheless one of the most
interesting of 'the week. All the young
people did so well that we dare not specify
anyone specially. The following was the
program:

"AT HOME."
t
The following sociallventoccurred tou
late for'the February DIAL, but at the reque~t of. several persons, .and also becauseof
, Its havmg been recogmzed as one of the
socia~featu-res of the year, we gladly give
it space. We copy from the Cambridge
,Springs Enterprise:
Unusual brilliancy and eclat characterized the i' At Home" given by Itoctor and
Mrs. Fli\:lltinger on the evening of February
22d, the anniversary of Washington's birthday. Ten days before the il1vited guests
had received dainty cards of ,invitation on
which were a representation of the American
flag and an announcement that the evening
Was to be one of American history. The
host and hostess received with their usual
warm cordiality in the drawing ro'Omwhich,
as well as the lib~ary, was most effectively
decorated with national emblems. The
stars and stripes were very much en evidence
and together with streamers of tri-colored
ribbons, gave the rooms a charmingly inviting appearance; while festoons of smilax~
jars of red and white carnations and vases
of blue flowers further carried out the scheme
of Colbr. The favors of the .eve~ing were
dainty knots of star and stripe ribbon.
After a short time spent in pleasant
social converse the Rev. Doctor Hervey entertained most delightf~lly as a raconteur
while Miss Tucker followed with an anecdote concerning a love episode of Washington's early life. An exceedingly enjoyable
part of the evening's entertainment were the
artistically rendered piano and violin numbers by Miss Reynolds and Mr.. Hawkins.
Miss Schillinger also bestowed pleasure by
giving a recita~ion ~nd ~ncore 1n her usual
happy manner, whtle ltttle Jean warmed
an~ ~aptivated the hearts of all present by
recIting very sweetly two child poems patriotic in the,ir eulogy of Washington.

colors, coffee and confectionery.
An evidence of kind thoughtfulness on the part of
Mrs. Flickinger was the handsome pu:tch
bowl filled with iced lemonade standing duri~g ihe evening on a decorated table in the
ltbrary.
The crowninf{ divertisement of the evening was a,unique and cleverly arranged
game in United States Historv. Cards
formed with the tri-colors and containing
numbers with corresponding blank spaces
were given to the guests. In addition each
was presented with a mysterious slip of
paper_on which none but the possessormust
look. An immense easel-blackboard, draped
patriotically, was then brought in and the
hostess info'rmed her guests that each was
expected to draw on the board the subject
indicated on his slip of paper, while the
others were to guess what the artistic effort
represented. Many were the ludicrous attempts" made and many were the absurd
guess~swhich resulted, amid much laughter
and merry jest, Prof. Most declaring his intention ofstartin'i!; a drawing class for the
faculty of the school. At the conclusion of
the game it was found that Professor Peters
had-the g-reatest number of correct guesses,
while Miss Morrison enjoyed the distinction
of having the least. Tke ,first prize was an
exceedingly handsome copy of Ford's Life
of Washington, the latest and best biography written. The consolation prize was a
little hatchet made from a Mt. Vernon tree
and decorated with a picture of the well
known Virginia
mansion. After further
merry conversation the guests' made their
adieux, each and all congratulating Doctor
and Mrs. Flickinger on the surpassingsuccess of their patriotic evening, and expressin~ sincere app~eciation of the charming and
enjoyable func~lon.

EVOLUTION
NORMAL

THE E1>INBORO NORMAL

OF THE 5T A TE
~HOOL.
¥
rThe ev'olution of the Normal school
idea in Pennsylvania, like that of all other
good things, appears to h'ave been very slow \
and devious. Te~c~ers, li~ poets, "are
born, not made,'" but only in the same sense
as lawYe;rs,doctors, engineers and bankers.
With talent of the highest order for the'"
duties of the school room, there is much
that t!must be learned either by personal
experience or through the instruction of
others.
As early as 1749 Dr. Frank]in said that
"the country is suffering greatly for want
of good schoolteachers." When the Quakers
opened the Westtown boarding school in
1779; one df the good results anticipated
from its founding was that it "wou]d produce qualified teachers of the sch~ols in the
country." ~n 1807 the Moravians established at Nazareth Hall a special department
fot.the preparation of teachers. Dr. Benjamin Rush, who had much to do in founding Dickinson College, in 1783, in an address to the Legislature in 1786,favored the
establishment of a system of free schools;
of one universitv at Philadelphia, and of
.three
colleges- one at Carlisle, one at ~ancaster, and one at Pittsburg, and adds, "that
the u~iversity will m time furnish masters
for the colleges, and the colleges will furnish
ma$ters for the free schools."
In 1831, the, State gave $500 a year to
Washington College, on condition "that 'the
trustees shall cause that there be instructed
annually, gratis, twenty students in the
elementary branches of education, in a manner,best calculated to qualify them to teach
common Enrz;lish branches." -In 1832 an
appropriation for the same purpose was
made to Jefferson College, and also to the
Reading academy. The charter of Pennsylvania College (1832) indicates the same
thoug4t.
In 1834,. Allegheny college also
received a grant for the same purpose. Duringtheyears 1837,1838and 1839respectively,
money was appropriated to Marshall CQllege

DIAL.

.17

"to furnish fre~ instruction to twenty stu~
dentsa.nnually m a manner ?est calcula~ed
to quahfy them for teachers m the. Enghsh
language."
Several colleges undertook the work of
preparing teachers without any pecuniary
inducement on the part of. the State. Dr.
Jenkins, president of Lafayette in 1834,
formulated a 'plan for a teachers' school in
connection with that institution, and in 1838
the trustees erected a building for a Model
school, established a teachers' course, and
called to their aid in the training of teachers a distinguished Scotch educator, Prof.
,Robert Cunningham, subsequently principal
of the Norma] seminary at Glasgow. But
the public aid did not support this laudable
enterprise and the project failed.
Haverford college, founded in 1833, had
this same plan in view.
The first school in Pennsylvania and it
is believed, in the United States, established
especially for the education of teachers, was
the Model school at Philadelphia.
The
first 3tate Normal school in Massachusetts
was opened at Lexington, in 1839. Of course
there were many private teachers' seminaries
in New England, and one of them was startedasearlyasI823,viz:
Concord, N. H., but
the Philadelphia Model school was established by law as early as 1818 and especially
as a teachers' school "and is therefore the
oldest school of the kind in the country."
In 1848this school became a full-fledged
Normal school. In 1859 its name was
changed to that of the Public High School
for Girls. Up to' this time no satisfactory
results had been attained, and still the cry
went out for better teachers. The experiment of giving money to colleges for the
purpose of training public school teachers
had failed; and now it was only a step to
incorporate into our system the present idea
of State Normal Schools. They were working in Massachusetts and it was believed
they would work here. Burrowes, as early
as 1838, favored the plan of State institutions, and every State superintendent from
him down to Curtin in 1857, when the Nor-

When, on Wednesday noon, Miss Tucker
entered the dining-room, such a look of surprise and pleasure passed over her face, that
.those who had assisted in the prepar~ti6ns,
then and there felt amply repaid. Almost
the first thing that met the eyes of our astonished preceptress was a large picture of

Durin!?" the first six Sat~rday evening;s
of the spnng term the Seniors gave their
annual chapel stage exercises. The class
was divided into six d.ivisions, eachof which
prepared elaborate hterary programs consisting of orations, essays and recitations.
The stage in each instance was beautifully
decorated' for the occasion. All the members of the class acq\litted themselves in a
highly creditablemannet, and a large audience was present each evening. These exercises'are compulsory and are intended to
afford practice in literary composition and
in elocutiop. These exercises are unique
among all the Normal schools of the State.
It is believed that they are a great help to
our students in acquiring facility of expt:es~

Much of the success of the Normal during the year was due to the inculcation of
high moral principles.
The ideals of our
school are high scholarship, industrious
habits, andl~b?ve all, the building up of
character., cEdmboro stands first aDd foremost for the latter. We want to make good
citizens. Students therefore, go out from
this school impressed with the importance
that the worla attaches to men and women
who have robust moral characters. Precept
and example are the,methods used. Students

'95, '96. '97 and-'98 were espec1al1yweU represented and they each report a fine time.
The class of '98 had a splendid program prepared which was care.rully carried out.
Principal F]ickinger delivered the address
of welcome. Harley Wood, president of the,
class, introduced, in a happy manner, the
various speakers. Some accidental visitors
were prese~t, among them J?r. Kitler, Prof.
Goodwin and Mrs. Flickinger.
Miss Alice

all of h~erhistrionic reputation of last year.

has almost doubled its attendance" The

and next year will be a record breaker.
Every room in the girls' dorm,itory, judgil1g
from the unprecedented demand ~'orrooms,
will be qccupicd. At present writing the
indications point to the necessity of opening
the third hall in the boys' dormitory for the
fall term. We confidently predict th~t by
the winter term there will be no vacant
rooms in either hall. .If you exp~ct a room
in the hal1s for the winter atld spring terms,
