PEDAGOGICS. 5

The purpose of attending a Normal School is to acquire the art of teaching and to master its 
principles. No text book on Pedagogics can be found that meets fully the necessities of the 
Normal School classes. In the work of the past year one strong Freshman Class used for the 
greater part of the first semester Hinsdale's "Art of Study." This last volume of the lamented 
Dr. Hinsdale contains some very interesting and attractive chapters. One of these 
discriminates clearly between the ordinary lesson hearing on the one hand and the 
combination of the "study recitation" with the "recitation lesson" on the other. Students 
readily saw that the purpose of meeting in a class with an instructor is not merely to recite 
or tell off a few barren and unrelated facts and go away to learn a few more such facts. They 
discovered that the infinitely more valuable use of the recitation time is the gathering up of 
the threads of previous lessons, joining them to the present lesson, talking over the 
interesting features and unraveling the difficulties of the present lesson, and while the 
students and the teacher are yet together finding out what the future lesson really is and 
carefully laying plans for its mastery. Again this volume makes very clear to the student the 
difference between reading and studying, and it contains such suggestions as contribute in a 
high degree to the proper management of schools and classes; but even for so elementary a 
class of students as our Freshmen, it was found necessary to introduce many things not 
found in any of the text books of Pedagogy. Several hundred copies of the Courses of Study 
of Missouri city, town and village schools were drawn upon. From these it was sought to 
give the young students a comprehensive view of the vast educational system of our State.

During the first semester two large classes of Sophomores made a study of some eight or 
ten of the most interesting chapters of Parker's "Talks on Pedagogics." The chapters on 
"Reading," "Modes of Expression," "Unity of Expressive Acts," "Speech and Writing," 
"School Government and Moral Training" and "Democracy in Education" were dwelt upon 
at length. The interest aroused at times amounted to enthusiasm. In both the Freshman and 
Sophomore classes supplementary lessons were given, also lectures by the instructor; and 
many special essays by students were prepared from volumes found in the pedagogical library.

One of the most profitable series of lessons attempted during the year was given both 
Sophomores and Freshmen in what we were pleased to call "The Pedagogy of the Common 
School Branches." In Arithmetic the problems of Simple Interest, Longitude and Time, The

(Page 6)

6 Kirksville State Normal School.

Clock Problem, The Railroad Problem, The Step Problem and numerous other practical 
problems were concretely illustrated and then analyzed from the standpoint of the students 
themselves. Much of this work in Arithmetic took the form of Mental Arithmetic and at all 
times the effort was made to approach the problems not from the teacher's standpoint, but 
from the view-point of the learner. In a somewhat similar manner Grammar was treated, 
some of the leading topics being the transitive verb in the passive voice, the relative 
pronoun, the personal pronoun, the possessive form of nouns. One very valuable exercise 
which was continued through about three lessons was the illustration of the verbs sit and 
set, lie and lay, the question being frequently asked how boys and girls could learn the 
proper use of these verbs and how it happens that these and other similar verbs are much 
misused. From this it will be seen that we were constantly seeking to view grammatical facts 
and principles from a truly pedagogical standpoint.

One valuable exemplification of good Pedagogy in the "Common Branches" was a series of 
lessons centering on the Battle of Shiloh. In this series of lessons the geography of the 
Central Mississippi Valley, including Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi and 
Arkansas was given. Both teacher and students drew off hand several times the map of 
these states. Then the students were given time to make preparation on the map, special 
attention being given to relief systems and their effect. General Grant's course was traced 
from Galena to Springfield, to Salt River Bridge, to Mexico, to St. Louis, to Jefferson City, to 
Cairo, to Belmont, to Paducah, to Fort Henry, to Fort Donaldson, to Pittsburg Landing. Many 
stories were related. Among the sources of information for this part of the series of lessons 
Fiske's Mississippi Valley in the Civil War and Grant's Memoirs were found very interesting.
Then the course of General Albert Sidney Johnston was traced somewhat hurriedly from San 
Francisco to Los Angeles, to Texas, to Corinth, to Shiloh. The Century Magazine for 1887 was 
found especially interesting and valuable in tracing this part of the events leading up to the 
Battle of Shiloh. Then of course the battleground was carefully inspected, drawn and 
discussed in connection with the battle itself and its results. Near the close of this series of 
lessons the field notes of the generals engaged in the battle were drawn upon and it 
seemed that the students saw this great battle as a link in a great chain of events. They saw 
the facts as viewed from both sides. Best of all they have a plan of work and study whereby 
they can conduct their own classes intelligently and delightfully through any similar series of 
connected events. The time consumed on the "Battle of

(Page 7)

Shiloh" must have been about twenty days. But we all felt that the results justified the 
things done.

The Seniors had a half year in the History of Education. The question as to whether this 
subject is profitable or unprofitable hinges largely on the preparation of students in General 
History. The text book chapters on Athenian Education, Spartan Education, Luther, 
Comenius or Rousseau have small value to the young person who has not spent several 
months in studying the history of Greece, Germany and France. Those who take the 
mechanical view of the subject would of course attempt to give first of all a general view of 
the growth of education from the earliest times to the present time including brief 
biographies of about one hundred school men and detached sketches of the views of these 
men. The opposite of this course was taken with the class of 1901. We had about one 
hundred volumes of tolerably interesting and readable books in the pedagogical library. We 
worked out only a few interesting subjects. From Bardeen's edition of the "Orbis Pictus" of 
Comenius we had many of the pictures themselves drawn upon the black board. From these 
pictures the instructor gave two or three brief lectures. From the book itself a few students 
prepared theses or reviews. It is not believed that a large number of the class made a very 
severe study of Comenius, but it is certain, that nearly all the class enjoyed the few hours 
spent with Comenius. Another valuable book used in a somewhat similar way was Prof. 
Goodwills translation of the Apology, Phaedo and Crito. Another was the Helen Keller 
Souvenir. Indeed some twenty or more volumes were used in much the same way. Some of 
the themes were the following: "Hebrew Education," "The School Men of the Middle Ages," 
"The Educational Influence of Florence in the Middle Ages," "Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler and 
Harvey, -- Their Relations and Influence, "  "Luther," "The Education of Shakespeare," 
"Saracenic Learning," "Thomas Jefferson," who made a forecast of education about 75 years 
in advance of his time, "Horace Mann," "David P. Page," "The Growth of Industrial 
Education," "The Growth of Art Education." It is well known both to the instructor and the 
class that our work in the History of Education was somewhat disconnected; but it was 
always interesting. The class lived in an atmosphere of enthusiasm and interest. If they 
received little else they left the class with some educational inspiration. They know where to 
go for delightful chapters in educational history. This is what we did in 1900-1901. From the 
past judge the future.

THE TRAINING SCHOOL.

The art of teaching necessitates a study of principles and methods, the observation of good 
teaching and practice under careful supervision. As an "Elementary Certificate" is given to 
those completing the Sophomore year the student teachers come from both Sophomore 
and Senior classes. Seniors are expected to spend a period a day for thirty-eight weeks in 
the Training School and Sophomores twenty weeks. As student teachers are expected to 
know something of the work in all the grades an 8 o'clock meeting was held, at which all 
were present, when critique lessons were presented or discussed or instructions were given 
for writing comprehensive plans. These plans included motive, pedagogical principles, 
materials, method and detailed account showing adaptation to grade. Each student was 
required to put on file, at least, three of these comprehensive plans, on as many different 
subjects, as a test of his work. In addition to this, a specified number of lessons were 
observed or taught and daily plans presented and the student was thus enabled to know 
something of the scope of the work in all grades. There were 163 student teachers enrolled 
daring the year with an average attendance of 100 each semester.

THE PRACTICE SCHOOL.

EIGHTH GRADE.

Believing with Ruskin that a knowledge of Athens, Rome, Venice, Florence and London is 
necessary to an understanding of civilization we emphasized these five cities in eighth grade 
work. A study of Europe, its physiography and topography with maps and models of its 
several divisions, was made. Coe's "Modern Europe" was used in connection with this work. 
The geography, history, and art of Greece and Athens were studied and illustrated by 
pictures, the mythology was contrasted with Norse mythology and a special study was made 
of the Antigone of Sophocles.

Rome as presented in the seventh grade, was then studied. This was followed by the history 
and art of Venice -- its importance in mediaeval times, the Jews as capitalists, the bank of 
Venice as the clearing house of the world, the architectural splendors, the art of Titian, 
Tintoretto and Paul Veronese amply illustrated by pictures, the study of Shakespeare's 
"Merchant of Venice" with supplementary reading of Shakespeare's "Othello," Howell's 
"Venetian Life," Henty's "The Lion

of St. Mark's," Ruskin's "St. Mark's Rest," Mrs. Oliphant's "Makers of Venice," and Clement's 
"Queen of the Adriatic." In the study of Florence the architecture, painting and sculpture as 
represented by Giotto, Michael Angelo, Raphael, and Leonardo da Vinci were emphasized 
with the Renaissance, the story of Dante, Savonarola, George Eliot's Romola," Browning's 
"Luria," and a contrast of the Moorish heroes, Othello and Luria. A special study was then 
made of the geography and history of England and London; a study of Guerber's "Stories of 
England," Hamlin's "Pictures of English Literature" with the location of all places mentioned 
and a final study of Shakespeare's "Henry VIII." The interest in the review of these five cities 
was further enhanced by a hundred stereoptican views of the same. This study of cities was 
considered by the class the most enjoyable work of the year.

SEVENTH GRADE.

A preparation was made for the study of "Julius Caesar" and Latin. Maps and models of the 
Roman Empire, Italy, and the City of Rome were made. The pupils were led to discover the 
three important things inherited from the Romans. The art, including something of the 
architecture of Rome, its masterpieces of sculpture and painting, was illustrated by 
pictures. A special study was made of Church's "Story of the Aeneid," Shakespeare's 
"Coriolanus" and "Julius Caesar," Pratt's "Stories of Rome," and Morris' "Historical Tales" 
with supplementary reading and adapted stories of Macaulay's "Lays of Ancient Rome, " 
Hawthorne's "Marble Faun," Browning's "The Ring and the Book," Madam de Stael's 
"Corinne," Hans Andersen's "Improvisatore," Abbott's "Rollo in Rome." The interest 
engendered by this study of Roman life led to the unanimous request for Latin, which was 
begun. Simple stories of Roman life were given. In the Manual Training room the stylus, 
tablet, and amulet were made; the tunic, clasp, sandals, and bracelets were used in a study 
of home and school life of the Roman children. Simple reading lessons were given. Through 
their interest in the subject the children were led to ask the usual points to be made and 
thus the grammatical forms were learned as they occurred in the lesson

LATIN.

Courses were conducted as follows:

1. In First Year's Latin -- Three classes of beginners in Latin were organized at the beginning 
of the session with an aggregate enrollment of about one hundred. Two of these classes 
were taught by Mr. J. T. Vaughn and remained under his instruction during the entire 
session, completing the First Latin Book, reading parts of Gradatim and a few chapters in 
Caesar. A class of about fifty commenced the study of Latin at the beginning of the second 
term and completed one hundred and twenty pages of the First Latin Book under the tuition 
of the head of the Department. A class of those who had studied Latin one term was 
organized at the beginning of the first term, completed the First Latin Book, and, beginning 
Caesar and Composition at the beginning of the second term, read two books of Caesar, 
doing the composition based on the Caesar read.

2. Second Year -- A class of forty commenced Caesar at the beginning of the session, read 
four books, and did the composition based on the same in Daniell's New Latin Composition. 
This class commenced Cicero at the middle of the second term, read two and a half orations 
against Catiline and did composition based on the same. Of those who had read Caesar 
twenty weeks a class was formed at the beginning of the session which continued in Caesar 
ten weeks, finishing four books, and the last half of the first term read two orations of 
Cicero, doing composition with both Caesar and Cicero.

3. Third Tear -- At the beginning of the session those who had read two orations of Cicero 
continued ten weeks with him, reading two other orations, after which they commenced 
Vergil and continued with him the rest of the session reading four books and two hundred 
lines in the the fifth book. Considerable attention was given to scanning and

(Page 12)

12 Kirksville State Normal School.

reading rythmically and passages were committed and recited metrically. Those who read 
the first two orations of Cicero against Catiline the second half of the first term continued in 
that author the first ten weeks of the second term, completing nearly five orations, doing 
composition meantime. This class commenced Vergil at the beginning of the fourth quarter 
and read a little more than the first book, giving much attention to scanning.

4. Fourth Year - The Senior class devoted sixteen weeks to Sallust's War of Catiline, and took 
Part III of Daniell's New Latin Composition for "Grammatical Review." This class devoted the 
remainder of the session to Horace, reading forty-two odes, six satires, the Ars Poetica and 
two other epistles. The metres of all the odes read were learned and practice done in 
pronouncing them rythmically. The satires and epistles were also scanned. Many passages 
of the odes, the satires and epistles were memorized and recited metrically.

The courses in Latin, until changed, will be as follows:

First Year -- First Latin Book, Nepos, Composition.
Second Year -- Nepos, Caesar, Composition.
Third Year -- Cicero, Composition, Ovid.
Fourth Year -- Sallust, Composition, Vergil.

The above courses will be offered at the following times:

1. The first part of First Latin Book in both semesters.
2. The last part of First Latin Book and first part of Nepos, second semester, and in the 
Summer School.
3. The last part of Nepos and first part of Caesar, first semester, and in Summer School.
4. Last part of Caesar, second semester.
5. Cicero, first semester.
6. Ovid, second semester.
7. Sallust, twelve weeks of first semester.
8. Vergil, last part of first semester and all of second semester.
9. Composition will be done with all prose reading.
10. One or two of the authors read in the last two years of the
course will be offered in the Summer School.

HISTORY.

WORK OF THE PAST YEAR.

Courses in Ancient, Mediaeval and Modern, and English History have been given in the year 
that has just closed. Ancient and English

(Page 12a)

(Page 12b)

(Page 13)

Kirksville State Normal School. 13

History in the first semester, Ancient and Mediaeval and Modern in the second semester.

The methods employed have been about the same for all courses. Each day an outline of the 
work of the following day was given. The purpose of the outline was to call the attention of 
the student to the most important topics and to show how to study them. In addition to the 
lessons assigned in the texts which were used only as a basis and a guide, references were 
given in such works as the history library had. About one hundred volumes were added to 
the history library during the year, and with others to be added soon, the library will begin 
to meet in a measure some of the requirements of the department. In order that the library 
may be all the more serviceable several duplicate copies of standard works have been 
purchased. Everything possible has been done to prevent the student from being a "man of 
one book." The work has been planned so that he would be under the necessity of reading 
other works than his text in order to prepare his recitations, and at the same time an 
attempt was made to present the subject so that a taste and desire for more extended 
reading and investigation would be naturally created. Wherever possible the student was 
urged to purchase for himself parallel texts on particular epochs and thus begin the 
collection of a history library of his own, and several acted on the suggestion.

In addition to the use of the best secondary works in our history library, some use was made 
of documentary sources of history. These sources were handled in the class room. In this 
way the student was brought in contact with the past from the standpoint of 
contemporaries and was enabled to appreciate and judge events of history for himself. 
Topics were sometimes assigned for special investigation, and individual reports were made 
to the class and criticised, or written outlines of the results of the investigation were handed 
in by all the class. Occasionally a series of lectures was given on some special subject, 
followed by oral quizzes. Frequent written lessons were had for the purpose of review and 
systematizing what had been studied from day to day. The charts and maps belonging to the 
department have been in constant use and the student has been accustomed to trace 
territorial changes and to associate peoples, events and movements with localities.

The effort has been made in the presentation of the subject of history to evoke thought and 
to develop the reasoning powers of the student. While the collecting of data, such as 
names, dates and events, has not been overlooked, yet such work was not made the chief 
end of the courses pursued, but secondary. Special attention has been given to causes and 
results, relations of events to each other and growth and

(Page 14)

14 Kirksville State Normal School.

development of peoples and their institutions. In this way it has been possible to reveal in 
some measure the unity and continuity of history. It is only in this way that the study of 
history contributes to the development of the powers of the student and the making of a 
useful citizen.

COURSES FOR THE COMING YEAR.

The following courses will be offered:

I. Ancient History, from earliest times down to reign of Charlemagne, 800 A. D. Special 
attention will be given to the origin and characteristics of the early races, the growth and 
development of religious and political institutions and customs, and the movement of the 
Barbarians at the fall of the Roman Empire, closing with a study of the early Frankish 
Empire.

Text: Myers' Ancient History.

II. Mediaeval and Modern History, from the reign of Charlemagne, 800 A. D. to the present 
time. Special attention will be given to the origin and growth of feudalism, formation of 
modern states, Crusades, Renaissance, and Reformation, growth of modern political 
institutions, closing with a more detailed study of the French Revolution and nineteenth 
century history.

Text: Myers' Mediaeval and Modern History.

III. English History, from earliest times in the history of England to the present time 
Inasmuch as the student receives a fairly good narrative outline of English history in the 
Mediaeval and Modern History course, special attention will be given to the constitutional 
phase in this course. A study will be made of the early Anglo-Saxon institutions, the effects 
of the Danish and Norman Conquests upon them, English feudalism, Magna Charta, 
formation of the House of Commons, Reformation, struggle between royalty and 
parliament, revolution of 1688, and the development of constitutional monarchy of England 
and its present organization.

Text: To be announced later.

IV. METHOD OF HISTORY -- A class in the method of studying and teaching history will be 
organized early in the first semester if a sufficient number apply for it to justify its 
organization. Only those who have had at least one year of history will be allowed to enroll. 
The class will meet not more than once a week for a period of fifteen or more weeks. 
Together with the instructor, the members of the class will work out the problems in the 
studying and teaching of history. No credit will be given on the books of the Normal for this 
course. It is purely voluntary and is intended only for those who are looking forward

(Page 15)

Kirksville State Normal School. 15

to the teaching of history or the deeper pursuit of the subject. Further announcements will 
be made early in the opening semester next year.

Text: Man's Method in History.

NOTE: Students will be required to pursue their work in history in logical order. Hence no 
one will be allowed to take Mediaeval and Modern History until he has completed Ancient 
History - or English History until he has completed both Ancient and Mediaeval and Modern 
History.

Students will note the difference between the course of study as followed last year and the 
proposed new course. In the latter it is intended that the time in history shall be lengthened. 
It is proposed that the Sophomore year be devoted to Ancient History and the Junior year to 
Mediaeval and Modern History, leaving English Constitutional History and American 
Constitutional History as electives in the Senior year. It is intended to follow the new order 
next year, but students seeking graduation in June or August, 1902, will not be required to 
spend a longer time in history than the course of 1900-01 offered. Thus it is seen that the 
operation of an ex-post facto law will be avoided.

CIVICS.

POLITICAL ECONOMY. -- The work in this subject was devoted mainly to the discussion of 
the topics: Production, Distribution, Exchange and Monetary System of the United States. 
The plan of work was by recitations, lectures and collateral readings.

ADVANCED AMERICAN HISTORY AND GOVERNMENT. -- Geography of the world prior to 
1492; pre-Columbian voyages; events in Europe inducing migrations to America; attempts at 
colonization; customs, manners and government in the colonies; contest between England 
and France for supremacy in America; treaty of 1763; struggle for the "rights of 
Englishmen;" struggle for the "rights of man;" treaty of 1783; government under the articles 
of Federation; Constitutional Convention; theories of the Constitution; events as influenced 
by theories of the Constitution; treaties and commercial relations down to the present time.

CIVIL GOVERNMENT AND HISTORY OF MISSOURI. -- It has been the aim to make the 
students familiar with the duties of county and state officers including the nature of our 
judicial system; also the organization of the political parties of the State. The History of the 
State was studied from two standpoints: 1st--With reference to the relation of its various 
parts to one another. 2nd--With reference to its relation to the

(Page 16)

16 Kirksville State Normal School.

Nation. The last five weeks of the semester were devoted to the Constitution of the United 
States

PHYSICAL SCIENCE.

CHEMISTRY. -- The chemical laboratory contains fifty-six lockers. It is equipped so that each 
pupil has a set of apparatus. Chemistry is continued throughout the junior year. The time to 
do successful laboratory work is at least six hours per week. In addition to this about two 
hours per week will be devoted to recitation work. It is the aim not to handle the subject too 
gingerly, not to compel the student to peck at it through a small opening, hence about half 
of the laboratory work is quantitative. Many of the experiments require five or six hours 
continuous, close, accurate work. One-half of the year will be devoted to chemical theory 
and one-half to the study of individual elements No text book will be used in the course in 
elementary chemical theory. The class will be required to get a text book for the study of 
individual elements.
First Semester--Elementary Chemical Theory.
Second Semester--Study of Individual Elements. Text: Torrey.

PHYSICS--This subject is taken up in the senior year, and is continued throughout the year. 
Physics requires a course in Mathematics through Trigonometry. The time to do successful 
work in Physics is at least eight hours per week -- five to laboratory and three to recitation.

BIOLOGY.

The laboratory method is used. The student does the work during the laboratory period, 40 
minutes. He is required to leave his note book in the laboratory at the end of the period. 
This method compels the student to do whatever he is able to do and his note book tells the 
quality as well as the quantity of his work. During the second semester of the year along 
with the laboratory work Jordan and Kellogg's "Animal Life'' as a text book was placed in the 
hands of the students. Each student was required to pass a severe oral as well as written 
test on each chapter. He was also required to apply laws and rules to the living organism 
about him.

The motto of this department is the "Dictum" of Prof. N. A. Harvey, "Teach the student and 
not the text book." The head of this department in his annual report to the President makes 
the following

(Page 16a)

(Page 16b)

CORNER OF AGRICULTURAL LABORATORY.

(Page 17)

Kirksville State Normal School. 17

comments: "Biology is a severe study. It is too severe for Freshman students. None but full-
fledged Sophomores should be admitted to Biology. The regular recitation period (40 
minutes) is too short for a laboratory period. Biology classes should each have two 
successive 40 minute periods for laboratory work--Section A, Monday, Wednesday and 
Friday, and Section B, Tuesday and Thursday during one week, while on the following week 
Section A should have Tuesday and Thursday and Section B Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 
giving an average of five hours of laboratory work per week." It now seems clear that this 
recommendation ought to be adopted in the new program.

It is further recommended that Biology be separated into Botany and Zoology and that 
Botany be united with the Agriculture and taught as a Freshman subject.

Dr. LeFevre of the University strongly urges the two hour periods for laboratory work and 
the separation of Biology into Botany and Zoology. It is further urged that the Sub-Normal 
Physiology be dropped from the course so as to enable the teacher of this department to 
devote his whole time to Zoology. Owing to the demands of the public elementary schools 
the latter recommendation cannot for the present be followed; but the plans are already 
completed for the division of Biology, and it is understood that Botany and Agriculture will 
constitute a year's work for Freshmen in the English Course and that Zoology will be 
extended through the entire Sophomore year.

AGRICULTURE.

The course, as conducted during the past year, consisted of five periods a week of forty 
minutes each. We separate the subject into the following sub-divisions: Agriculture, 
Horticulture, Forestry, Entomology and Landscape Gardening. Each of these is considered in 
the order named, and is given at the time of year when it is most practicable.

AGRICULTURE. -- We make a study of Agriculture under the following heads: Soils, 
Fertilizers, Rotation of Crops and Dairying.

The soil being the foundation of all Agricultural and Horticultural products we regard it as 
the basis of the work, paying especial attention to: 1. The origin of all soils. 2. The object of 
tillage in conserving moisture and in improving physical and chemical conditions. 3. Texture 
of soils. 4. The improvement of land by underground drainage. In considering some of the 
above topics we carried on a series of experiments by means of a set of soil tubes, 27 in 
number.

(Page 18)

18 Kirksville State Normal School.

FERTILIZERS. -- Under this head we considered: 1. The value of leguminous plants owing to 
the peculiar power of this family through the agency of bacteria, of chariging free nitrogen 
into nitrates. 2. The three important food elements: Potash, Nitrogen and Phosphorus -- 
hence the advantage to the soil of a good rotation of crops. 3. Commercial fertilizers.

DAIRYING. -- Points were emphasized concerning: 1. Cleanliness of cow, milker and milk 
vessels. 2. The advantage of a separator over the gravity process in separating cream. 3. The 
ripening of cream. 4. Churning, the care of butter and churn. We did practical work in 
determining the acidity of milk at different stages of growth; also in determining the 
percentage of butter fat in different samples of milk, thus enabling the student to know the 
real value of the cow as well as the amount of cream lost in skim milk and buttermilk by 
different methods of churning and separation of cream.

HORTICULTURE. -- Sub-divided as follows: Propagation of plants, plant breeding, pruning 
and spraying.

Propagation of plants, including germination of seeds, making cuttings, budding, grafting 
and layering. For this work we have a small plot of ground on the campus in which we are 
attempting to grow hard wood cuttings of various sorts of flowering shrubs, grafts and 
seedlings. The work in grafting was done Entirely by students. Cions of the Ben Davis and 
Gano apples were used; also pear cions were worked on quince roots. Germination of seeds 
was carried on indoors in cutting tables of sand. For work in budding, willow switches were 
started in water and used when the bark was in proper condition. The principles of plant 
breeding, pruning and spraying were discussed in class.

FORESTRY. -- A short time was given to the subject of Forestry, the evils resulting from 
forest devastation and the advantages of Forests as well as a study of the twigs of a number 
of forest trees while dormant.

ENTOMOLOGY. -- We have made a careful study of the grasshopper, becoming familiar with 
the names and character of its various parts and making it a typical specimen by which we 
homologize the parts of other insects. We classify insects from an economic point of view 
into two classes: (1) Those whose mouth parts are formed for biting and (2) Those whose 
mouth parts are formed for sucking. Corresponding to the two groups of insects we make 
two classes of insecticides, (1) Those that kill by contact such as Kerosene emulsion and 
whale oil soap and (2) Those that kill by being taken into the body of the insect as the 
various arsenic compounds. Owing to limited time work in Landscape Gardening was 
omitted this year.

NOTE: In the course of study for next year it is proposed to combine Botany with Agriculture 
and have this department known as the Department of Botany and Agriculture. Additional 
quarters and equipment will be furnished. Among these it is intended to have early in the 
year a greenhouse which will be subject to the joint use of this department and the 
department of Zoology.

GENERAL STATEMENTS.

Two years above the Sub-Normal are necessary to complete the Elementary Course and 
receive the Elementary Certificate; that is, one full year of American and English Literature, 
or Classics, and one of Rhetoric and composition with supplementary reading and classics.

In addition to these, one year of English is required for the full Latin Course, and two years 
in the Complete English Course.

Grades from approved schools are taken, subject for subject, month for month, and 
masterpiece for masterpiece. Grades from schools not approved are at the option of the 
teachers of the department, who may require an examination, or text work in classes.

Students entering the department are expected to take the lowest classes for which they 
have no record, unless they can satisfactorily establish their proficiency. Position in any class 
does not excuse a weakness on points of lower requirements.

Throughout the course, good English usage is expected in both

(Page 20)

20 Kirksville State Normal School.

oral and written language. Pupils should be required to read in such a way as to show 
proper interpretation and appreciation of the selection, and nothing less than clear, 
connected, forcible language should be spoken in class work. Much written work is required 
in every semester's plan. It is considered of special importance that the writing of pupils 
should, for several years, come under the eye of a good, strong critic. Much practice under 
competent supervision and criticism is indispensable.

In all English work, attention is given to Words, Sentences, Paragraphs, Figures of Speech, 
Forms and Purposes of Selections, Poetic Peculiarities and Technicalities, etc. But the 
sentiment is considered the matter of prime importance; understanding and appreciation 
being very necessary.

The work of any class in any semester may differ slightly from what is here given; but this 
serves to give a general idea of the ground covered the past year and the methods used.

SUB-NORMAL.

GRAMMAR. -- Before entering the Normal proper, knowledge of the principles and 
applications of Grammar is required, and practice in composition should be such as to insure 
reasonable readiness and accuracy in the use of the language. To this end, work is planned 
in Grammar and Composition for all who are deficient, or who wish to review. During the 
year, new classes were organized each semester, and several persons took the work the 
entire year.

MYTHOLOGY. -- Classes were organized each semester in "Guerber's Myths of Greece and 
Rome" and completed this in time for four or five weeks on Classics concerning Northern 
Mythology, chiefly from Longfellow. This Mythology study is considered essential as a 
foundation of Literature.

FRESHMAN YEAR.

Classes beginning in September in American and English Classics continued the entire year. 
New classes the second semister did the same work as the others did during the first 
semester. American Literature was given special attention for several months. The authors 
in Matthews' Introduction to American Literature were studied, selections were read from 
most of them, and their masterpieces were critically studied. The following are illustrative: 
-- Franklin's Autobiography, Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Thanatopsis, Emerson's Essays on 
Friendship and Compensation, Mosses from an Old Manse, Snow Image,

(Page 21)

Kirksville State Normal School. 21

Courtship of Miles Standish, Snowbound, The Raven, Chambered Nautilus, Bunker Hill 
Oration, and others. Pupils also read at least two books outside of class, and made written 
reviews, or oral reports in class.

During the last three months, English authors received attention, principally Milton, 
Shakespeare, Macaulay, and Tennyson. The history of the Drama was followed by critical 
work on King Lear. Some other selections used were L'Allegro and Il Penseroso, Macaulay's 
Essay on Milton, Enoch Arden, and the two Locksley Halls.

SOPHOMORE YEAR.

This is given to Composition and Rhetoric. Students write theses about every two weeks. 
These are corrected, criticised and returned for re-writing. The criticisms bear directly on 
the principles being studied at the time, but correctness in general make-up, and 
grammatical accuracy are required. Frequent drills are given in rapid writing in class room. 
With work in technical Rhetoric, frequent readings of English and American Classics are 
given, and these are critically studied from the point under consideration.

Following is the order of study: (1) External Forms of Composition, (2) Choice of Subject, (3) 
Review of Punctuation and Capitals, (4) Words, (5) Sentences, (6) Paragraphs, (7) Whole 
Composition, (8) Description, (9) Narration, (10) Exposition, (11) Argument. Some samples 
of the illustrative readings are: (4) Tennyson's Lyrics and Mosses from an Old Manse, (5) 
Bunker Hill Oration, (6) Rip Van Winkle, (7) The Ambitious Guest, (8) Deserted Village, (9) 
Pied Piper, (10) Of King's Treasuries, (11) Conciliation with American Colonies. Generally a 
prose selection and a poem are used in the study of each division of Rhetoric.

JUNIOR YEAR.

FIRST SEMESTER. -- Study the history of the English people, nation and language and the 
formative elements of each till they unite and develop into England and English. Trace the 
elements, influences, and characteristics coming from Celts, Romans and Latin, Anglo-Saxons, 
Danes, Norman-French, and learn what they contribute to our language and literature. 
Etymological and Philological study is here emphasized. Literature from Beowulf to Shakespeare 
is examined, the latter half of the semester being given to Chaucer, Spenser, Bacon, and 
Shakespeare and their times. Critical studies--Prologue to Canterbury Tales, Bacon's Essays, 
Faerie Queene, As You Like It, and the Drama.

(Page 22)

22 Kirksville State Normal School.

SECOND SEMESTER. -- A complete view or review of American Literature. Environments of 
time, locality, national conditions and influences in their effect upon literature. Authors and 
their works are classified and variously grouped: as, "The Novelists," "Orators and 
Statesmen," "Lyric Poetry," "Female Writers," etc., etc. Critical studies are made on typical 
masterpieces; for instance, American Scholar, Vision of Sir Launfal, Autocrat Series, House of 
Seven Gables, Longfellow's and Whittier's Longer Poems, and others. The work here is 
rather critical, philosophical, and intensive.

SENIOR YEAR.

In the first semester of the past year, the work was the same as indicated for the first 
semester for Juniors, but hereafter more time will be given to later English. Chaucer, 
Spenser, and Shakespeare will receive attention first, then remaining periods, influences, 
authors, and literary output.

The second semester was given to the Drama and two Shakespearean studies, then to 
several later writers, such as Milton, Dryden, Addison, Pope, Burns, Goldsmith, Johnson, 
Gray, Burke, Coleridge. Some of the special studies were Paradise Lost, Book I. and II., 
Religio Laici, De Coverly Papers, Gray's Elegy, Conciliation with American Colonies, Ancient 
Mariner, Pope's Poetical Essays and Criticisms.

CHANGES FOR NEXT YEAR.

On the recommendation of the English Department, Grammar will be placed in the Training 
Department under the joint supervision of its teachers and the head of the English 
Department.

Mythology will be raised to the Freshman year and will be a regular requirement therein. 
About ten or twelve weeks will be sufficient time for its study.

MATHEMATICS.

The purpose of a Normal School is to prepare teachers to teach; hence every lesson is 
intended to exemplify right methods of instruction. A brief, but comprehensive course in 
Arithmetic, will be given to those students in the Sub-Normal work, who are not yet 
prepared to take up the Algebra. But no student should enter the Normal School, who has 
not a fair knowledge of Arithmetic. It should be noticed that Arithmetic is one of the 
elementary subjects which is to receive some special atten

(Page 23)

Kirksville State Normal School. 23

tion in the department of Pedagogy during the second semester of the Freshman year. 
Those students who reach the Freshman year without an accurate knowledge of Arithmetic 
and its uses will be compelled to study it here from both the academic and pedagogical 
standpoints. It is hoped there will not be many such. Since Arithmetic is one of the subjects 
considered as the basis of classification in all ungraded schools, it is our intention to see that 
every student who graduates from the Elementary course, shall have a thorough knowledge 
of the subject and how to teach it. Hence, every student graduating from the Elementary 
course must either take an examination in the subject or study it in this school. The work in 
the Sub-Normal course consists of a critical study of both Written and Mental Arithmetic. 
Many students on entering the Normal School ask permission to pursue two subjects in 
Mathematics at the same time. We think it not wise to permit this. We expect students to 
first complete the Arithmetic and then take up the Algebra. One year is devoted to Algebra 
in the Elementary course, and a half year to College Algebra in the Advanced course. While 
in all of our work it is our aim to teach subjects rather than text books, we use Milne's High 
School Algebra as a guide in the first year's work, and finish it as far as radicals the first 
semester, and aim to complete the work the second semester.

In Geometry, constructional and inventional work, is introduced. The text used for the class 
room is Phillips and Fisher's Plane and Solid Geometry, and the student is expected to solve 
all the exercises contained in the book and a great many more. The first four books in Plane 
Geometry are required in the Elementary course.

The Trigonometry classes use Crockett's Trigonometry as a guide, but the course embraces 
much which is not found in short courses in Trigonometry.

The Board of Regents, at its June session, 1900, recognizing the importance of Mathematics, 
and aware of the fact that our Methematical courses should be more extensive, voted an 
additional year of Mathematics for the benefit of those students who have some special 
talent for that subject, but this work will not be required in order to complete the regular 
course. This additional year's work will embrace Spherical Trigonometry and Analytics. 
Charles Smith's Analytics will be used.

The head of this department recommends that an additional half year in College Algebra be 
introduced in the Senior year and that it be elective. This will probably be done.

(Page 24)

24 Kirksville State Normal School.

READING AND PHYSICAL CULTURE.

The work in Physical Culture for all classes during the past year consisted in both organic and 
aesthetic gymnastics. The work in organic gymnastics comprises both the "Light" and the 
"Free" according to the German-American System. The purpose of the organic gymnastics -- 
to develop, strengthen and contribute to the health of the pupil. Each class did a little work 
in aesthetic gymnastics according to the Delsarte System of "Devitalization" and 
"Revitalization" -- the purpose of these being to secure ease and grace of movement, to 
reduce the friction of bodily activity and thus secure to the individual good personal bearing 
and good health.

In the Voice Culture and Reading Lessons besides the work of the text book there was 
considerable outside work which included lives of the following poets and one characteristic 
poem of each: Shelley, Longfellow, Byron, Wolfe and Burns. In addition to this the teacher 
took time outside of school hours to listen to each pupil of each class on three different 
occasions read the entire lesson from the rostrum in the Elocution Hall. During the second 
semester in the Reading, besides the work in the text book, two of the classes made a 
special study of a few of the World's Great Orators: Pitt, Burke and Demosthenes. These 
were studied as men, as orators and as factors in the history of their times. The other 
classes during the second semester read Shakespeare's historic tragedy of Julius Caesar and 
nearly completed it in class. One of the most pleasant and profitable classes conducted by 
this department was the class of 22 pupils in Mythology. The class completed the text book, 
Guerber's "Myths of Greece and Rome;" read "Pyramus and Thisbe" by Saxe, and some 
other minor poems and made a special study of "The Saga of King Olaf" by Longfellow.

MANUAL TRAINING.

The Department of Manual Training has been in operation one year, during which time 131 
student teachers have enrolled in the classes. About 30 others had to be rejected because 
there was not room for them. Children in the seventh and eighth grades of the Training 
School were given instruction in this Department on alternate days.

The more advanced classes have worked out eighteen projects, the last one of these being 
an original design made from the student's own drawing. The class entering at the beginning 
of the second semester

(Page 24a)

LEARNING TO DO BY DOING

(Page 24b)

(Page 25)

Kirksville State Normal School. 25

have completed twelve of these projects. Besides the bench work and drawings the 
students learn the use and care of each tool used. The course is mainly sloyd with a few 
pieces of joinery from the Russian System of Manual Training. Associated with this are the 
isometrical drawings. The sloyd carries out the idea of utility while the Russian is purely a 
system of construction. In this Department the young men and young women work side by 
side. Our motive is not to make mechanics, but to give a training that will develop habits of 
accuracy, close observation and adaptability and therein this training is deemed valuable for 
the young women as well as the young men. Again the Institution seeks to send out 
teachers equipped to meet the demands likely to be made upon them by progressive school 
boards. The Normal School is the place in which to give prospective teachers this training. 
The Department in this, its first year of existence, having been crowded beyond its real 
capacity, (after the rejection of many) it will be our purpose greatly to increase the facilities 
for this kind of instruction and to be prepared for the reception of about twice as many next 
year as took the work this year.

VOCAL MUSIC.

Thus far the work in Vocal Music has not been wholly satisfactory to the Department of 
Music or to the President of the School. Many students enter the School without any 
preliminary training or instruction in Vocal Music and it is often found extremely difficult to 
get them to assume a friendly attitude towards this Department.

The work laid out by the Educational Music Course is readily comprehended by the average 
student and is arranged to cover about five years' work in the ordinary graded school 
system. In the Normal School classes we have endeavored to cover the entire work in one 
year and to include also a small number of class choruses. We can not hope to make all 
teachers good musicians, but the attempt is made to familiarize practically all seeking 
graduation with the elementary principles of Music and to enable all to read readily at sight 
all simple music. The teacher of this department has labored under many disadvantages, 
being obliged to move from room to room and having no piano or organ for use in 
connection with the classes. Arrangements have been made so that on the completion of 
the new building the Vocal Music teacher will have permanent quarters the same as the 
teacher of any other department, and it is hoped that we shall also be able to supply the 
teacher with a piano.

ART INSTRUCTION.

During the past year an effort was made to conduct our drawing classes according to the 
most approved modern methods in freehand drawing and color work. Our teacher of 
Drawing spent several weeks in Chicago during the months of March and April and as a 
result was able greatly to improve the instruction of the Department. An especial feature, 
which was emphasized with much success, was the representation of relief forms in 
geographical drawing in the seventh and eighth grades of the Practice Department and in 
the several classes of Normal School students in the Training School. During the coming year 
we, hope to make still further improvement in this Department and ultimately to place it 
fully abreast of the other departments of the School.

Mechanical Drawing is, of course, given in connection with the Manual Training and forms 
an essential part of the work in that Department.

THE SUMMER SCHOOL.

The first regular summer school session, organized under authority of the Board of Regents, 
began June 14th, 1900, continued seven and one-half weeks, six days in the week, and 
closed August 4th, 1900. The enrollment at $10.00 each was 108, the income being 
$1080.00. Each student was permitted to take not to exceed two subjects. Classes were 
organized as follows:

In Physics and Geometry, J. E. Weatherly, teacher.
In Latin, three classes, J. S. Maddox, teacher.
In Literature, three classes, Miss O. A. Parrish, teacher.
In History, two classes, Jno. T. Vaughn, teacher.
In Algebra, three classes, C. S. Brother, teacher.
In Biology, one class, Leonard M. Thompson, teacher.

The summer school of 1901, just beginning its second week at time of going to press, has an 
enrollment of 180. It will continue seven and one-half weeks, six days in the week, and close 
Saturday, August 3rd. The organization is as follows:

J. E. Weatherly, Director.
One class in Physics and one class in Chemistry, J. E. Weatherly, teacher.
Three classes in Literature, A. P. Settle, teacher.
Four classes in Latin, B. P. Gentry, teacher; assisted by Susan Nicholas.

(Page 27)

Kirksville State Normal School. 27

Two classes in History, E. M. Violette, teacher.
One class in Geometry, one in Trigonometry, one in Analytics, H. Clay Harvey, teacher.
Three classes in Algebra, C. S. Brother, teacher.
One class in Biology, L. S. Dougherty, teacher.
One class in Agriculture, Carrie Ruth Jackson, teacher.
One class in Manual Training, M. Winnifred Bryan, teacher.

COURSES OF INSTRUCTION.

SUB-NORMAL SEMESTER.

It is deemed advisable to give for another year, a short Sub-Normal Course, of not to exceed 
one semester in Reading, Arithmetic, U. S. History, Civil Government, Grammar, Physiology 
and Georgaphy. The Arithmetic classes will first be well grounded in the practical phases of 
Arithmetic, then familiarized with the elements of Algebra, so as to be able during the 
Freshman year to complete readily the High School text book in Algebra and do also 
considerable outside work in that subject. It is proposed to put the Sub-Normal classes into 
very close relation with the work of the Training School and to put the instruction in these 
subjects into harmony with that of the Practice School. So far as the nature of the case will 
permit the Supervisor of the Training School and the heads of the other departments will 
work together to make the instruction in the Sub-Normal classes of the best possible 
character.

NORMAL SCHOOL COURSES.

Students should pay special attention to the following tabular views of the Normal School 
Courses.

They should inspect and carefully consider these courses of instruction before leaving home.

They should especially notice the meaning of a year's work and a semester's work and the 
number of semesters or years devoted to each subject.

Length of year and semester. -- Notice especially that the school year consists of two 
semesters of nineteen weeks each.

Students are specially advised to so plan their affairs as to enter at

(Page 28)

28 Kirksville State Normal School.

the beginning of a semester and continue for a period of not less than nineteen consecutive 
weeks. Of course a longer period is better.

Notice particularly the Latin Course and the English Course as carried into execution during 
the year 1900-01. While it is desired to slightly modify those courses and to adopt for future 
use the courses marked "Proposed New Courses," yet students may plan to graduate at the 
close of the year 1901-02 substantially according to the time requirements of the old 
courses presented immediately below:

Note. -- It is intended to make the Pedagogical requirements nearly constant in all courses, 
but to make the academic foundation more and more elective, i. e., within limits.

Note. -- Counting a year's work a unit it is seen that each of the proposed courses for 1902-03 
offers 14 units in academic subjects, requiring preparation, i. e., such subjects as Algebra, 
History, etc.

In addition to all the afore-mentioned courses, the following elective course is under 
consideration and may be put into operation so far as regards academic requirements. From 
this course it is proposed that the student may offer any 14 units as the basis of his 
professional course. But in no case shall any fractional units be accepted, and where any

TEXT BOOKS.

It is the intention to use in the main the same text books in this Normal School as are used 
in the public schools of the state, but with this reservation: That new and improved books 
may be introduced when the same are manifestly better adapted to the needs of the school than 
the older ones are.

Freshman Year in either the Latin Course or the English Course; also to those who complete 
the Junior Year.

To those who complete the Sophomore Year in either the Latin Course or the English Course 
the "Elementary Certificate" is given showing the course completed. This Certificate 
authorizes the holder to teach in any county of Missouri for a period of two years from date.

To those who complete the Senior Year in the English Course the English Diploma is granted. 
To those who complete the Senior Year in the Latin Course the Latin Diploma is granted. To 
those who complete all the requirements of both the English Course and the Latin Course 
the diploma for the Complete Advanced Course is given. Each of these diplomas authorizes 
the holder to teach in any public school of Missouri during life, if not revoked for cause.

GRADUATE COURSE.

MASTER OF SCIENTIFIC DIDACTICS.

This diploma will be issued to such graduates as teach successfully for three years after 
graduation and complete a course of reading such as the one designated below.

Each applicant shall submit satisfactory proof of such course of reading as well as evidence 
of successful teaching, all of which shall be considered and passed upon by the President 
and Faculty. Each applicant shall also submit a thesis of from 4,000 to 5,000 words on some 
educational subject, both subject and thesis being approved by the Faculty. In view of the 
abundance of new educational literature candidates for

(Page 36)

36 Kirksville State Normal School.

graduation in June, 1902, are recommended to submit reviews of one or more of the recent 
publications on some pedagogical subject. Candidates for this degree must send to the 
President of the Faculty their theses or reviews and evidence of the course they have 
pursued at least four weeks before Commencement. They must be present Commencement 
Day to receive their diplomas, unavoidable circumstances alone excusing them. The 
following course of reading is recommended:

1. Buckle's "History of Civilization in England," or Draper's "History of the Intellectual 
Development of Europe," or Leckey's "European Morals."

2. Klemm's "European Schools," or Davidson's "Education of the Greek People," or Quick's 
"Educational Reformers."

3. McLellan and Dewey's "Psychology of Number," or Hinsdale's "Teaching the Language 
Arts," or Froebel's "Education of Man."

4. Greenwood's "Principles of Education Practically Applied," or Sully's "Teachers' Hand 
Book of Psychology," or Parker's "Talks on Pedagogics."

5. Rosenkranz's "Philosophy of Education," or Spencer's "Education," or James's "Talkson 
Psychology and Life's Ideals."

6. Halleck's "Education of the Central Nervous System," or Romanes's "Animal Intelligence," 
or Warner's "Study of Children."

7. Burrage and Bailey's "Sanitation and Decoration," or Kotel- mann's "School Hygiene," or 
McArthur's "Education in its Relation to Manual Industry."

8. Froebel's "Pedagogics of the Kindergarten," or one year's reading of "The Educational 
Review," or one year's reading of The J. C. Witter Co.'s "Art Education."

9. Baldwin's "School Management and School Methods."

LIBRARIES.

Our General Library, consisting of some two thousand standard works of Science, Poetry, 
Fiction, Art and History, is thrown open from 8:00 a. m. to 3:30 p. m. daily. Students are 
permitted to enter this Library at will, select such books as they desire to read and use the 
large Assembly Room or Chapel as a Reading Room, returning the books to the library when 
done with them; When books are taken out to be carried farther than the Reading Room a 
record is made of the fact.

WEBSTERIAN DEBATING SOCIETY, 1900-01.

DEPARTMENTAL LIBRARIES.

By far the best use made of reference books and supplementary volumes in Literature, 
History, etc., is in the departmental libraries. Already the department of History has three 
large book cases filled with the best histories extant, use of which is made daily, as 
described elsewhere in this catalogue. Each of the other academic departments is supplied 
with one or more cases fairly well filled. The Training School Department has about 400 
volumes adapted to its uses; the Pedagogical Department, about 200 adapted to its uses.

LITERARY AND DEBATING SOCIETIES.

The students maintain voluntarily three general Literary Societies, the Philomathean, the 
Zetosophian and the Senior whose membership consists of both ladies and gentlemen. In 
addition to these there are three debating Societies, the Websteriatt, the Glaytonian and 
the Twentieth Century Debating Club, composed exclusively of young men. The meetings of 
these societies are held on Friday night or Saturday night of each week in well lighted halls. 
The societies are on a self-governing basis and membership is a matter between the 
individual student and the society which he desires to join. The first three societies have 
been in existence for many years. The Websterian Society was organized during the year 
1899-1900. This Society limits its membership to about 30 young men, carefully selected, so 
that it is difficult for any but the best students to become members. The other two debating 
societies were organized during the past year. All the debating societies confine themselves 
largely to extemporaneous debates and speeches. Membership in any one of the above 
mentioned Societies is desirable and advantageous; but young men are especially 
recommended to join the debating Societies. The School has for a long time been relatively 
weak in debating and other extemporaneous speaking and no other means seem to 
cultivate so well the power of thinking on one's feet as the extemporaneous debating and 
other speaking as conducted by the young men in these societies.

On the 10th of May three of our best speakers pitted themselves in debate against a team in 
the Normal School of Peru, Nebraska. While our debaters were highly commended by the 
judges and the audience they were not able to secure first place in that contest; but we 
expect to so cultivate the power of logical argument and extemporaneous speaking, as to be 
able next year to meet successfully the debaters from

(Page 38)

38 Kirksville State Normal School.

any neighboring Normal School. Every possible encouragement will be given the general 
Literary Societies. Declamations, recitals, papers and essays will be encouraged; but special 
care will be taken to strengthen our young men in thinking on their feet and in speaking 
their thoughts.

DISCIPLINE.

This School is conducted on the basis of self-government. Our students are men and women 
of well settled purpose. Their lives are mapped out before them. Every moment of their 
time is precious to them. Spying upon their conduct or any police surveillance is 
unnecessary and obnoxious to them. We have no checks or deportment marks, 
consequently very few of those trifling delinquencies which characterize over-disciplined 
schools. One young man, not formerly characterized by good conduct, remarked to a fellow 
student that he had not been guilty of any misconduct in this School, for he found no rules 
to violate and could have no motive for doing mischief.

Our students are put upon their honor. They are recommended to conduct themselves in 
the presence of the Faculty and President just as they would do in the absence of such 
persons. They are made to feel as free from constraint as possible. Wherever they may be 
they are encouraged to engage in pleasant conversation -- excepting of course during 
recitations or other school exercises. It is thus found that the students have the same 
interest in good order that the Faculty have. Disorder disturbs them the same as it does the 
Faculty. They feel responsible for the moral tone of the institution. Here lies the foundation 
for self-control -- the feeling of responsibility. This plan of government is purely democratic. 
It relieves the Faculty of innumerable petty duties. It appeals to and stimulates manly and 
womanly pride. It puts students and teachers almost on practical equality, by raising the 
student to the plane of the teacher, and thus cultivates in the highest degree the qualities of 
gentility, courtesy and good humor. These students constitute an unusual body of men and 
women. There is no other school just like a Normal School The students realize this fact. 
They believe in their own future. They anticipate important careers. They are to be men and 
women of large influence. They are to control others. Hence their great pride in self-control.

NOTE. -- In a period of twenty months under the above described system of discipline and 
with a grand total of about 1200 different individuals enrolled, there has been no case of 
expulsion, no case of perma-

(Page 39)

Kirksville State Normal School. 39

nent suspension, but two cases of temporary suspension, one case of reprimand and no 
other case of a student being brought before the Faculty under charges of misconduct.

GRADING AND CLASS HONORS.

The percentage system of grading has been abandoned. Students doing creditable work in 
their classes are graded as Passable, Good or Excellent. Below the rank of Passable is that of 
Conditioned. The student who is conditioned may pursue for a time the more advanced 
phases of the subject and while doing so may cure the defects in his previous work and pass 
examination on the same. If successful in such examination he is given the rank of Passable. 
Below the rank of the conditioned are of course those who fail. They are marked "failed."

The School has no class honors. In lieu of the ordinary graduating exercises Class Day 
Programs are given. These are under the exclusive control and management of the 
respective classes. The question might arise as to whether students should be trusted to 
prepare programs without the censorship of the Faculty; but where students are 
accustomed to being trusted it is found that they do not abuse privileges granted them. In 
lieu of the old time orations and essays on Commencement Day each class has an address 
by some well known orator selected by them.

The class orator for the Sophomores Wednesday, June 12th, was Pres. J. P. Greene, of Wm. 
Jewell College. The orator for the Seniors, June 13th, was Pres. John W. Cook, of the 
Northern Illinois State Normal School. The Baccalaureate sermon Sunday, June 9th, was 
preached by Dr. Wm. H. Black, of Marshall.

MEDALS AND AWARDS.

In the study of the principles of Pedagogy the students of each class have by a large majority 
and on their own independent judgment expressed disapproval of systems of prizes in 
education. Nevertheless where generous citizens have offered medals for any worthy 
special exercise it has been the policy of the School to accept such gifts and to leave the 
matter of competition wholly to the wishes of the student corps without discouraging or 
specially encouraging participation in the contests for the awards offered. It is not doubted 
that competition for medals sometimes stimulates good sentiment and wholesome effort.

During the past year there was but one contest for a medal, that of

(Page 40)

40 Kirksville State Normal School.

the Ringo Medal, a $20.00 gold medal offered by R. M. Ringo, Treasurer of the Board of 
Regents, for the best, original oration by any student above the Freshman year.

Owing to some complications and differences ragarding the amount of originality required 
in the orations it is not positively known (at the time of going to press) to whom the medal 
belongs. It will probably go to Mr. Nelson Sears, of Lewis County.

YOUNG PEOPLE'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATIONS.

Y. M. C. A. AND Y. W. C. A.

The students maintain voluntarily a strong working organization of the Young Men's 
Christian Association, and also of the Young Women's Christian Association. These 
organizations have the endorsement and encouragement of the President and Faculty and 
have been very helpful in keeping constantly before the students the very highest ideals of 
life.

These organizations being in co-operation with the President of the Institution keep a list of 
all the boarding houses. Students wishing to enter the School can secure information as to 
boarding houses, trains, etc., from the corresponding secretary of either of these 
organizations, as well as from the President of the School.

Committees wearing the school colors will, during the opening week of the year, meet all in-
coming trains for the purpose of conducting students to their boarding houses. Members of 
these committees will be recognized by their badges of blue and white. Any young lady 
coming alone will be especially looked after, if she will kindly notify the Corresponding 
Secretary of the Y. W. C. A., or the President of the School, so that they may know the time 
of her probable arrival. Any young lady wishing to enter one of the young ladies' boarding 
clubs should write to the Corresponding Secretary of the Y. W. C. A., stating particulars. It is 
the desire of the Y. W. C. A. to help place every young lady student in a good Christian home 
or boarding place.

The two Associations have a joint Reading Room in the School in which the best daily papers 
and other choice current literature will be at all times accessible. During the first week of 
the School year an information bureau will be conducted in this Reading Room and students 
wishing any directions will be accommodated.

Each Association holds devotional meetings every Sunday. Once a month the two 
Associations meet jointly for the study of missions.

(Page 41)

Kirksville State Normal School. 41

Each year Bible classes are organized and any one wishing to take a course of this kind may 
do so. One of the resident ministers of Kirksville usually has charge of the Bible classes. 
These Associations seek to promote the social as well as the moral and intellectual culture 
of the students. Receptions are given each year by the Associations and special efforts are 
made to enable all students to feel at home. Great care is also taken to encourage the spirit 
of good fellowship among the students.

The officers are as follows:
Y. W. C. A., President, Rose Wells.
Y. W. C. A., Corresponding Secretary, Jennie Townsend.
Y. M. C. A., President, C. T. Goodale.
Y. M. C. A., Corresponding Secretary, N. H. Randall.

Y. M. C. A. LECTURE COURSE.

The Y. M. C. A. of this Institution, together with the neighboring Association of the American 
School of Osteopathy, conducts an annual lecture course. Its chief purpose is to place within 
the reach of the entire student body of the two schools and the citizens at large, the leading 
entertainments and lectures on the platform to-day; and incidentally to make the running 
expenses of the two Associations, maintain the reading room, and to establish a fund with 
which to send the delegates to the Annual Lake Geneva Conference. Last year the following 
numbers were secured at a total cost of $860: Senator J. P. Dolliver, A. S. O.	Glee Club 
with Prof. Harvey, Luther Manship, Boston Fadettes, Tyrolean Concert Company, Dr. F. W. 
Gunsaulus, and Schubert Quartette and Symphony Club.

The chairman of the joint committee for the ensuing year is Dr. C. W. Proctor. The members 
from the Normal School Association are Prof. Violette, Prof. Harvey, C. T. Goodale and Jas. 
M. Steele. The committee is arranging for next year a better course than any yet presented. 
Among other numbers under advisement at commencement time are: Bob. Burdette, Gov. 
Bob. Taylor, Dr. Dixon, Jehu DeWitt Miller, Rev. Dr. Quail, Swiss Bell Ringers, Gen. Gordon, 
Ottumwa Quartette, Chicago Glee Club and Booker T. Washington. From among these, six of 
the best will be selected and given for the regular price, $1.50, for the entire course. Since 
its first establishment the course has been a marked success, both educationally and 
financially.

NEW BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENTS.

The General Assembly of 1901 appropriated $30,000 for the erection of a new Science Hall 
for this Normal School. The building will stand thirty feet from the present building, being 
connected by covered passage ways. The first floor will contain the office of the Supervisor 
of the Training School, two recitation rooms, the fan room for the heating and ventilating 
system, the dressing room for young men, the dressing room for young ladies and the 
gymnasium. The gymnasium is to be 38 feet in the clear east and west, 60 feet in the clear 
north and south, having a height of 22 feet from floor to ceiling and a gallery in one end. On 
the second floor are the President's office and four recitation rooms for the Training School, 
the gymnasium extending through both the first and second stories. On the third floor are 
four large recitation rooms for Normal School classes; also the library, 38 by 60 feet.

The new building is to be heated by the most modern system, the Sturdevant System of 
warm air forced through the building by a large steel fan. Several thousand dollars were also 
appropriated for new boilers, sewers, closets and repairs, so that our building will soon take 
the appearance of a new building in all its parts.

CONDITIONS OF ADMISSION.

1. Male applicants must be at least 16 and females 15 years of age.

2. Those seeking admission for the first time must present satisfactory evidence of good 
moral character. A letter from the county commissioner or persons of well known integrity 
will be sufficient.

3. Those coming from other institutions of learning must submit satisfactory evidence of 
having been honorably discharged.

4. Standing obtained recently in High Schools, Academies and Colleges on the approved list 
of the University will be accepted by this Institution.

5. Each applicant for enrollment in the School signs a "declaration of intention to follow the 
profession of teaching in the public schools of the State."

TIME TO ENTER.

Enter at the beginning of the year.
This is important.
Begin when others begin.

(Page 43)

Kirksville State Normal School. 43

Get an even start with others.
Be a factor in making up the program.
The program is constructed in view of the wants of those who are present at the beginning.

WHAT TO BRING WITH YOU.

Bring your old books.
Bring your dictionary.
Bring your reference books.
Bring all your grade cards, certificates and diplomas.
These help much in classification.
Avoid examinations by bringing these credentials.
Bring all your grades from all the schools that you have attended.
Examinations on entering a school are as worrisome to the Faculty and President as they are 
to the student.

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU GET HERE.

Select your boarding place first.
Then go to the National Bank of Kirksville, northwest corner of square, pay your incidental 
fee to the Treasurer, Mr. B. F. Heiny, bring your receipt to the President's office. You will 
then be directed to the rooms of the several members of the Faculty, who will inspect your 
credentials and assist you in making up your program.

COME TO STAY.

Short dips into education help some; but Pope says
"A little learning is a dangerous thing;
Drink deep or touch not the Pierian Spring;
There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain 
And drinking largely sobers us again."

Some of you are obliged to teach part of the year and attend school another part.
It is well to lay your plans far in advance.
Five months in succession produce better results than six months chopped up into several 
parts.
Come to stay all the year if possible.
Our best students try to lay their plans this way.

TWO DAYS FOR CLASSIFICATION.

The President and the Faculty will be at the Normal School building at 8:00 a. m. Monday, 
September 2nd, and Tuesday, September 3rd, for the purpose of enrolling and, classifying 
students. All resident

(Page 44)

44 Kirksville State Normal School.

students are requested to visit the President's office for the purpose of classification on 
Monday, September 2nd. Non-resident students will be expected to reach Kirksville some 
time during the day Monday, September 2nd, and secure their boarding places. They should 
present themselves for classification on Tuesday, September 3rd. On Wednesday, 
September 4th, recitations begin and will run on schedule time, 40 to 45 minutes for each 
recitation.

EXPENSES.

Board (including room, meals, light, fuel, etc.,) costs from $2.00 to $3.00 per week.

The large majority of students pay $2.50.
Many good students rent rooms and board themselves for much less. Good homes in 
private families can always be secured.
Furnished and unfurnished rooms can be secured at low rates.
Many students rent rooms and board in clubs.
The tuition is free.
There is an incidental fee of $8.00 for a semester of nineteen weeks or $5.00 for a half 
semester.
The Treasurer's receipt for the incidental fee when presented to the President entitles the 
student to classification.
In no case will the incidental fee be refunded.

OPPORTUNITIES OFFERED.

We have about 90 daily recitations.
Students prepared to enter the Normal School readily find classes adapted to their needs.

SPECIAL DIRECTIONS.

1. All books, wraps, hats, caps, overshoes, umbrellas, etc., should be plainly marked by the 
owners thereof so as to be known wherever found.

2. The city residence of every student is required at the office. In case of change report 
should be made at once.

3. Every case of sickness should be reported promptly at the office. When any student is 
taken sick he or she is specially requested to send

(Page 45)

Kirksville State Normal School. 45

word to the office. The President and Faculty will thus be able to contribute much to the 
relief of students.

4. Reasons for absence from school or from any class are to be presented at the office 
before entering the class.

5. Regular Faculty meetings occur at 3:00 p. m. Mondays during the school session. Students 
should arrange their business with the Faculty to correspond to this time.

GENERAL REGULATIONS.

Students are required to comply with the following and with such other regulations as the 
Board or Regents. President and Faculty may, from time to time, make known.

1. Unless excused for cause students are expected to be present at all general exercises of 
the School and must be present at every regular recitation and perform faithfully the duties 
assigned them.

2. No student shall discontinue a study except for good cause, of which the Department 
teacher and the President of the Faculty shall be the judges.

3. Students are prohibited from attending billiard rooms, pool rooms and other similar 
places of resort; but during the past year it was not necessary to call attention to this rule 
and it is not known that the rule was violated.

4. Students leaving school without being regularly excused by the President will be 
considered suspended.

5. All special privileges and excuses granted or required by these regulations must be 
obtained from the President of the Faculty or from such person or persons as may be 
designated by him.

ARTICULATION WITH THE STATE UNIVERSITY.

At the time of going to press it is not certain just where our graduates articulate in the 
University Course; but it is certain that strong graduates from the Normal School have about 
a year's credit at the University and can begin somewhere in the Sophomore year of the 
University.

NOTE. -- Thirty classes have graduated from the full course of this Institution. The Alumni 
number 539. The Alumni meeting held June 12th, 1901, was larger in attendance than any 
former meeting for many years. A new Constitution was adopted and a decision reached to 
make a determined effort for a large attendance at the meeting of the Association May 
27th, 1902. During the past year an effort was made by the President of the School and the 
officers of the Alumni Association to recover the addresses of as many members of the 
Association as possible. Considerable headway has been made and the effort will be 
continued. In one of the numbers of the catalogue to be issued during the coming year it is 
hoped we shall be able to give a large majority of the addresses Of the Alumni. At present 
we have about half of those addresses.

NOTE. -- Some may wonder at the delivery of so many diplomas in August. The reason for 
this action is the following: For several years we have been increasing the requirements for 
graduation and in fairness to our students it is deemed right to give them at least the 
benefit of the summer term in which to meet these requirements.
