BIENNIAL REPORT
FIRST DISTRICT NORMAL SCHOOL

To the Forty-third General Assembly, Jefferson City, Mo.
Gentlemen:—As President of the Board of Regents of the First District Normal School I have the honor, in compliance with the law, to herewith submit to you the Biennial Report of said school. I wish to call your attention specifically to the report of each department of the school, which speaks for itself. Since the meeting of the last General Assembly, which made us generous appropriations for the various departments for our then needs, we have, in compliance with the law. spent the appropriations, and as we believe have greatly advanced the usefulness of the school. We have been compelled, on account of the increasing numbers of students from the various Counties of the State, to increase our teaching force and thus have added many teachers, since the last meeting of the General Assembly. We still find the increase of students so much larger than we had anticipated that the classes are, in many instances

3

(Page 4)

more than twice as large as they should be to give to each student that instruction which he deserves- The capacity of our buildings is not sufficiently large to accommodate the number of students attending. The Board, therefore, felt that it was necessary to ask the General Assembly to appropriate $50,000.00 for a new building, and to increase the appropriation for teachers’ salaries to $90,000.00, and various other items as set forth in the President’s Report, all of which have been carefully canvassed by the Board, and deemed by it absolutely necessary to continue the present efficiency and meet the unavoidable demands for increased teaching force in the school.

It will be seen by a perusal of the President’s report that the number of different persons enrolling in the Normal School proper for the year ending May 25, 1904, was 944, with the practice school at 175; that the number of different persons in the Normal School proper for the year ending December 21, 1904, was 1290, with the practice school at 224, making the grand total of 1514, or a few short of 400 increase, 1290 of whom seek to make of themselves teachers for our Missouri Schools. These young Missourians are entitled to the best advantages that money will obtain. I therefore believe that the Forty-third General Assembly will appropriate such moneys as will enable us to meet the demands made by these students.

I have the honor to remain, Respectfully, A. W. MULLINS,
President of the Board of Regents.

REPORT Of
PRESIDENT OF THE FACULTY
Kirksville, Missouri, January 1, 1905
Hon. A. W. Mullins,
President Board of Regents,
Linneus, Missouri

Dear Sir:—I have the honor to submit the following facts for use in your Biennial Report to the Forty-third General Assembly.

Increased Efficiency.
The General Assembly will doubtless be interested in knowing what is done with the funds of this Institution and how employes of the Institution put in their time. It may therefore be well to recount a few of the transformations wrought in the Institution during the past four years:
1. The enrollment, the daily attendance and the scholarship required for entrance and graduation have all been increased from 25 to 30 per cent.
2. By one new building and numerous changes in the old building the available working space has been nearly doubled
3. The teaching force has been exactly doubled, but increased attendance,

5

(Page 6)

higher standards and multiplication of elective courses have at least trebled the amount of labor demanded in order to carry out effectively the program of instruction.
4. Under pressure from the teachers of this Normal School District who demanded summer school instruction, we have gradually worked out the summer school problem and made the three months summer school a permanent and integral part of the school year, co-ordinate with any other three months of the year.
5. The Practice School has been given comfortable quarters and four times the teaching force that it formerly had. It comprises about 150 children, typifying a public school. It is directed and managed by a skilled supervisor and three assistants. It is a "pedagogical laboratory," in which prospective teachers learn to teach by practicing on the children under the direction of expert critic teachers.
6. A modern Kindergarten has been installed and articulated with our other pedagogical courses.
7. Laboratories for Physics and Chemistry have been established in separate rooms and equipped for a two years’ course of experimentation in each. A laboratory for Zoology and Physical Geography has been established and

6

(Page 7)

tolerably well equipped. A laboratory for Agriculture and Botany has been created and given abundant room and apparatus, with the addition of a modern school garden in which practical experiments in fruit raising, gardening and agriculture are carried on by students. A Manual Training Shop has been installed. organized and equipped. It has the accompanying mechanical drawing and elementary course in pottery, sloyd and raffia. It is on a par with other essential Normal School departments.
9. The courses in English, Mathematics, Latin and History have all been extended and strengthened. The courses in History are more than three times as great in extent and effectiveness as they were four years ago. The courses in Science have been more than doubled. We have not emphasized foreign languages, but in response to urgent demands we have organized small classes in German and French.
10 There is constant demand for resident graduate work whereby students may remain longer and work out their several specialties in teaching. In response to this demand we have made moderate provision for graduate courses.
11. A Library has been practically created de novo within the last three years It contains 9,000 volumes. It has suitable and artistic quarters, though it begins to be uncomfortably crowded on account of the large number of stu-

7

(Page 8)


dents making daily demands upon it. The Library is organized according to the Dewey Decimal System in charge of a skillful Librarian, who by extensive travel and study has become familiar with the greatest and best libraries of our country. Perhaps no other department of the Institution is quite so effective a force for culture as the Library. We offer a one-year course in Library work similar to that given in Universities. This is found necessary because many of our graduates are required to organize and conduct Libraries in the public schools where they teach.
12. The Gymnasium is 40 by 60 feet, with balcony in one end. It is partially supplied with apparatus. It has been in use since September, 1903. Connected with it are bath rooms suitable in character, but very small. At the present time more than 100 young men are undertaking to make daily use of the men’s bath room as both bath room and dressing room, but the room is only 18 x 23 feet in size. It is evident, therefore, that our young men are greatly crowded Two classes of young women doing gymnasium work undertake to use a bath room and dressing room of the same size. There is great demand for baths and gymnasium work. These utilities have a very wholesome effect upon the health and life of our students.
13. The campus has been transformed from an ill kept to a well kept con-

8

(Page 9)

dition. Unsightly gutters in one side of the campus have been filled up, that part of the campus graded and drained and made into a good Athletic Field in which students in large numbers have exercises for about one hour each afternoon whenever the weather is suitable.
Great advantages accrue from the fact that the students may go from their class rooms to their out-of-door exercises by a two minute walk. We permit no excesses of any kind in Athletics but we encourage our students to get the benefit of an hour in the open air and sunshine each pleasant day. Within the past few months military drill has been added to our course in Gymnasium work for young men The Cadet corps is uniformed in regulation blue and may be seen two afternoons each week going through their military evolutions on the Athletic Field.
This Institution is said to have the largest percentage of male students to be found in any of the larger Normal Schools of the Mississippi Valley. No doubt the gymnasium work and military drill have weight in bringing about this condition.
14. Finally, we have been able to strengthen in some measure every department heretofore supported by this Institution.

(Page 12)

Condition of Buildings.

In the addition erected in 1901 there are seventeen rooms, all in a good state of repair. The original building containing thirty-four rooms, was finished in January, 1873. It has therefore been standing for thirty-two years It is claimed that this building originally cost Kirksville and Adair County $150,000 It is impossible now to ascertain the exact sum of money which was invested in it We are able to find, however, that in the past fourteen years only $6,327 have been used, in repairs and improvements of this building. At the present time it is in a bad state of repair. We are compelled to resort to frequent and temporary patching of the roof. Some 1,200 feet of guttering are found to be in a defective state. The entire system of gutters must soon be taken out and re-made. The tin roof and sky lights are also in defective condition The outer walls need scraping and repainting The ceilings and walls in a majority of the rooms need repairs. A majority of the floors need repairs or relaying The entire floor of the basement story should be replaced outright excepting in the Kindergarten room and three toilet rooms The amounts neeessary for these repairs and improvements are set forth in another part of this report.

12

(Page 13)

The Boiler Mouse.

To an appropriation of $3,000.00 received in 1901, the Board added about $250.00 and installed a system of boilers, three tubular boilers, each 5 by 16 feet. These boilers are of such capacity that two of them running at moderate rate readily heat all of the present buildings when the thermometer is at 20 degrees below zero. We could therefore easily heat 50 per cent more of buildings without increasing the boiler plant; but the mass of brick surrounding the boilers is in a dilapidated condition. It is badly adapted to the purposes of a boiler house. The roofs are ill constructed and insufficient to shed snow and rain. The entire structure, therefore, should be taken down and rebuilt. We think there are brick enough to rebuild the entire structure in proper form without the purchase of any new brick even for outside work. Estimate for these improvements is furnished in another part of this report.

Walks For Campus.

For several years the Regents have used every available means to improve and beautify the campus. One great drawback at the present time is the insufficiency of suitable walks in and about the campus. Estimate for new walks is furnished elsewhere in this report.

13

(Page 14)

Financial Status.

The Board of Regents require this Institution to be conducted on a cash basis. We therefore live within our means. We come to the General Assembly with all employes paid to the end of the biennial period, and with no debts out* standing.

The treasurer’s report appears in the latter part of this report. His formal report shows $1,708.97 of Incidental Fund to have been applied on teachers’ salaries. Inspection of the monthly pay rolls of Incidental Expenses shows $2,010.00 to have been applied from time to time on teachers’ salaries through that source in order to supplement the state appropriation for instruction. We think this use of the Incidental Fund ought not to be necessary. Every cent of the Incidental Fund ought to be available for ordinary incidental expenses, such as coal bills, catalogues, bulletins, stationery, light, water, postage, diplomas, certificates, general supplies and the numerous other items of expense without which a great school cannot be successfully conducted.

We trust these facts will appeal to the General Assembly and make clear the necessity for increased appropriations for instruction.

Note--An incidental fee of $6 for each quarter (twelve weeks) is charged students in the Normal School proper. Hence the “Incidental Fund.”

14

(Page 15)

What the Normal School is For.

By reference to the statutes instituting the Normal Schools it will be seen that they were designed to prepare teachers for the public schools of the state. With that basic idea in view, our courses of instruction are laid out and teaching faculty secured. The course of instruction is both academic and professional. Those conducting the Normal Schools have no choice in these matters. No amount of theorizing can be permitted to predetermine our mode of procedure. The Normal Schools in their practical operation are what they are by virtue of the demands of the people at large. A constant stream of letters from people and school officials is the paramount force in directing our procedure. The people want teachers with skill in teaching and managing schools. There is never a day in the year when the Normal School president can supply all the demands coming to him for skillful, scholarly, trained teachers. We have long since passed the time when school officials quibble over salaries. The constant query is: "Can you send us a man or woman who has scholarship, teaching skill and governing ability?" "We will pay from $35.00 to $50.00, owing to the qualifications of the teacher;" "We will pay from $70.00 to 100.00, owing to the qualifications of the principal." etc., etc.

The Normal School, therefore, finds it necessary to cover academic phases

15

(Page 16)

of all subjects taught in the high schools and in the larger part of the college course. About two-thirds of the Normal School students’ time is devoted to academic subjects; about one-third to the theory and doctrine of method and government and to experimental teaching in the Practice School.

Character and Qualifications of the Normal School Faculty

It is extremely difficult to secure and retain a teaching faculty adequate to the demands of the Normal School The professor in the Normal School must have scholarship fully equal to that of a high grade college professor; he must have more than this or fall short of the requirements; he cannot follow his own wishes as to whether he will merely deliver lectures and quizzes and conduct examinations; he must be a skillful class room tactician; he must be able to reach effectively every individual in each of his classes every day. Perhaps our professors sometimes fall short of these exacting requirements; but since the requirements are so exacting and the effects so far-reaching, is it not manifest that the governing board of the Normal School should be given the greatest available means of fullfilling the demands made on the Normal School by the public?

Our present faculty is a group of talented and scholarly young and middle

16

(Page 17)

aged men and women, 28 in number, mostly Missourians by birth but cosmopolitan by virtue of diversified training. A majority of them are graduates of Missouri Normal Schools, colleges and universities; but they also represent graduation or student work in the following institutions: Illinois Normal Schools, Pennsylvania Normal Schools, Chicago University, Kansas University, Nebraska University, Harvard University, Western Reserve University, Rick Observatory, University of the Pacific, Wesleyan University, Conn., Columbia University, Illinois Wesleyan University, Michigan University, University of Leipzig, University of Wurzburg, and Schools of Art in Paris and Florence.

Where the Normal School Students Come From.

Eighty-five per cent of the students of this Normal School come from the rural and village schools of Missouri. They represent all the counties in Missouri north of the Missouri River and usually from fifteen to twenty counties south of the River. The President and Faculty of this school confine their labors to this Normal School District. We undertake to visit all the county institutes and teachers’ associations of our District, but confine our labors to this District. The students of this Normal School are largely self-supporting. At any given time a census of the students present shows approximately eighty per cent to be self-supporting. Their average age at all times is about 22 years.

17

(Page 18)

They constitute an unusually sturdy, well-behaved, studious, ambitious student corps.

What the Normal School Graduates and Students Do.

The graduates and students of our advanced course engage in teaching in all sorts of schools and institutions. To illustrate: The last graduating class numbered fifty-four. Of these one is a county superintendent; seven are superintendents or principals of city and village schools; two are principals of small colleges; five are teaching in high schools; two are continuing their studies in this Institution; one is a student in the University and a majority of the remainder are teaching in rural schools.

There were ninety graduates in the last “Elementary Class.” Five of these hold principalships of village schools; a large majority of the remainder are teaching in rural schools. During the past twelve months 622 persons, not graduates and not now in attendance were enrolled in the Normal School proper. Of these more than 80 per cent are now teaching in rural schools. In round numbers, therefore, 500 persons not yet graduates and now teaching in rural schools have been in attendance here during the past twelve months.

18

(Page 19)

The Enrollment Could Be Increased Indefinitely.

For the teaching force and the room available for use, this School is very large. By advertising, as many other schools do, this School could increase its enrollment to almost any desired extent. Judging from the present crowded condition it is evident that the natural increase without much advertising would soon crowd our rooms to their full capacity even with the addition of the $50,000 building asked for in this report.

23

(Page 24)

The library contains 9,000 volumes. The record shows more than 250 students and teachers taking and using books daily. Many of the books are now much worn There is a constant demand for new books. By a conservative estimate $5,000 will be needed to enlarge and properly support this great utility for the use of which there is a pressing need and a growing demand.
The School now has four large gymnasium classes. The gymnasium apparatus is limited to the purchase made with $500.00 appropriated by the last General Assembly We need $1,000 worth of new gymnasium apparatus.
The Institution has for years been insufficiently supplied with furniture. Much of our furniture is old, damaged and worn. We therefore request $500 for new furniture
Crowded Condition. No other school in Missouri is so crowded as this one. The teachers in other Normal Schools usually have about five daily recitations each. The teachers of this Normal School average six classes daily. Our classes are very large. We are hampered on account of insufficient teaching force. During the three and one half months just ended we have been compelled to have nine classes numbering 60 to 80 students each; 10 classes numbering 50 to 60 students each; a large number of classes having 35 to 50 each. By compelling our teachers to instruct daily six classes each and by having these class-

24

(Page 25)

es enormously large, we are not only over-working our teachers but we are not giving each individual student his rightful share of attention. We need to pay our teachers better and work them less severely. We need at least six additional teachers and we absolutely need a new building which will cost about $50,000. We are greatly cramped on account of insufficient room in which to handle our large numbers of students. Several of our teachers are like the peripatetic philosophers of Athens. They go from place to place to hear their classes and the classes follow them. We are so crowded for room that we are obliged to begin recitations at 8:20 in the morning and continue until 5:00 o’clock in the afternoon. Our recitation periods are 50 minutes in length and we have nine such periods, distributed from 8:20 in the morning to 5:00 o’clock in the afternoon. It is doubtful whether any other school in the Mississippi Valley has so severe a program.
Purpose of Proposed New Building.
In planning the addition erected in 1901 it was found necessary to provide for:	1. A Library; 2. Practice School Rooms; 3. A Gymnasium with dressing rooms; 4. Several class rooms; 5. A small office room for the President.
Then in order to economize space in both the new building and the old, our Science laboratories had to be distributed, one of them, the Physics Laboratory,

25

(Page 26)

being placed temporarily in a room adjoining the Library; others in different parts of the old building. We now need to enlarge the space for the Library. This can best be done by extending the Library into the adjoining rooms, which are well adapted to the purpose. It is further desired that laboratories and Science class rooms near the Library be vacated so that the same may be occupied by classes in Literature, History and other subjects that can best be taught in close proximity to the Library.
Again it is desired to secure, if possible, more room for the laboratories and to have them all near together. It is necessary to have increased office room for President, Regents and others engaged in administrative duties. The chief purposes, therefare, of the contemplated new building are in brief as follows:
I On the main floor at least 2700 square feet of floor surface for Physical laboratories; at least 2000 square feet for class room and other purposes; at least 1500 square feet for office rooms, store room, and fire proof vault for archives and documents.
2. On the upper floor at least 2700 square feet for Chemical Laboratories; at least 2,000 square feet for class rooms and other purposes; at least 1,500 square feet for Biological Laboratories with north light.
3. The basement or ground floor to be devoted to bath room, gymnasium and storeroom purposes.

Reasonable Requests-
We trust that these requests will seem reasonable. This Institution undertakes to duplicate the best work done by the best Normal Schools in the Mississippi Valley; and while it works at all times in co-operation and never in competition with the other Normal Schools of Missouri, it has seemingly been less persistent in its demand than its sister Normal Schools have been. From an inspection of the State Auditor’s Reports, it seems that appropriations by the General Assembly for Normal School buildings during the past thirty=four years have been in round numbers as follows:
For the First District Normal School...$ 82,000.00
For the Second District Normal School...137,000.00
For the Third District Normal School...231,000.00
In extent and quality our courses of instruction equal the best. Our average attendance is at all times at least 80 to 95 per cent as great as that of our largest sister Normal School. We are greatly crowded at the present time. We ask for necessities only, with no thought of having any item pared down. We confidently believe in the justice of these requests and the necessity for these appropriations, and we doubt not that our estimates will receive candid and careful consideration and our requests be granted in full by the Forty-third General Assembly.
Most respectfully submitted, JOHN R. KIRK,
President of Faculty.
